How mouse embryos determine left from right

RIKEN biologists have discovered how tiny hairs in embryos detect flowing fluid, which ultimately leads to the left and right sides of the embryo developing differences. As well as resolving a long-standing debate, this finding ...

Improving astronaut vision in long-haul space flights

West Australian researchers have developed a breakthrough method to measure the brain fluid pressure in humans, which may reduce vision damage experienced by astronauts on long-haul space flights.

Tireless microbial killers in new nanocomposites

They kill with a molecular sting or oxidative shock and don't know the meaning of fatigue. The latest biocidal nanocomposites, designed and synthesized by scientists at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy ...

Compression treatment could relieve horses' painful swollen limbs

Researchers from North Carolina State University have taken technology aimed at helping humans suffering from lymphedema—in which the accumulation of excess lymph fluid causes swollen limbs—and developed a medical device ...

Researchers uncover new water monitoring technique
