Scientists have discovered a shocking turn in the Southern Ocean. Contrary to all expectations, surface waters are becoming saltier, weakening the natural barrier and releasing trapped heat from the depths. This dangerous process accelerates the melting of sea ice from below and pushes the Antarctic climate system towards an unknown breaking point.
Scientists at MIT have developed revolutionary, inexpensive, single-use electrochemical sensors coated with DNA. Using CRISPR technology, these sensors can quickly and accurately detect a wide range of diseases, including cancer and HIV. Thanks to a new polymer coating, they are stable and suitable for home use or application in less developed areas
Diabetic macular edema, a serious complication of diabetes, threatens vision loss for millions. Previous treatment with expensive and painful injections into the eye could become a thing of the past. Scientists have found that the inexpensive and available oral HIV drug, lamivudine, shows stunning results in improving vision in patients.
The Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) confirms the status of the leader in withdrawing funds from the EU program, marking the 12th anniversary of Croatia's accession to the Union. From the Sixth Framework Programme to Horizon Europe, the RBI has generated more than EUR 125 million, including ERC projects and the capital infrastructure project O-ZIP, thus strengthening Croatia's position on the European scientific map.
Discover how AI is driving the pharmaceutical revolution by designing brand new proteins to fight the toughest diseases. Scientists, such as those at UCSF, are using AI and vast databases to create the cures of the future for cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease, offering new hope to patients.
The latest scientific research brings a shocking reversal in the understanding of Alzheimer's disease. Contrary to popular belief, increased social activity, rather than social isolation, could be one of the earliest subtle signs of this disease. Discover why a richer social life may indicate the first changes in the brain.
