If you are one of the millions of women identified as having dense breasts, your healthcare team may recommend supplemental or additional screening to check your breasts for cancer. Dr. Kristin Robinson, a breast radiologist at Mayo Clinic, says there are several options when it comes to these screening tests. She recommends working closely with […]

Credit: American Physical Society In an era of medical care that is increasingly aiming at more targeted medication therapies, more individual therapies and more effective therapies, doctors and scientists want to be able to introduce molecules to the biological system to undertake specific actions. Examples are gene therapy and drug delivery, which for widespread use […]

Primary map and fitted model (9iyb) viewed along the X-axis. Credit: Jiuyin Xu et al Recent advancements in understanding the molecular basis of the prostaglandin D2 receptor (DP2) have significant implications for developing new anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic therapeutics. DP2, as a G protein-coupled receptor, plays a crucial role in mediating allergic responses and inflammation. However, […]

The simulations used dots called tracer particles to traverse a molecular cloud and travel along with the material. As the particles travel, they record the density of the part of the cloud they encounter, building up a history of how pockets of density change over time. The researchers, who also included Liubin Pan from Sun […]

DOI: 10.1038/s41596-024-01046-3 A research team led by scientists at the University of California, Riverside, has developed a computational workflow for analyzing large data sets in the field of metabolomics, the study of small molecules found within cells, biofluids, tissues, and entire ecosystems. Most recently, the team applied this new computational tool […]
