Czura and Tracey discovered that stimulation supercharged the clotting effect. When the enhanced platelets hit a wound (like a spurting rat tail stump), they formed clots thousands of times better than a plain ol’ platelet. And, importantly, it only happened where clotting was needed.

The first analysis of how proteins are arranged in a cell was published today in Science, revealing that a large portion of human proteins can be found in more than one location in a given cell.

Researchers from the university have successfully grown brain cells on a semiconductor wafer.

Turns out the Apple Watch is good for more than just telling the time, tracking steps, and dictating text messages. It can detect heart disease, too.

Biologists have identified a major switch that occurs as lung adenomas transition to more aggressive adenocarcinomas -- and that blocking this switch prevents the transition. The findings suggest drugs interfering with this switch could be useful in treating early-stage lung cancers.

Humans are still evolving, So, where will evolution take us in 1,000 years?

Researchers from UCLA and the University of Connecticut have designed a new biofriendly energy storage system called a biological supercapacitor, which operates using charged particles, or ions, from fluids in the human body. The device is harmless to the body's biological systems, and it could lead to longer-lasting cardiac pacemakers and other implantable medical devices.

Researchers have found a way to penetrate the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria, overcoming a major barrier to the development of new broad-spectrum antibiotics.

Another connection between the gut and the brain.

Researchers report low doses of THC can help restore memory and reverse some of the effects of brain aging in mice. The findings could open new avenues for treating dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases.
