When we sleep, the body releases its ‘growth hormone‘, building up and repairing muscles and bones – but the details of how and why have been something of a mystery, until now. Through a close analysis of brain circuitry in mice, researchers led by a team from the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) have found special mechanisms and feedback …

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered how a hormone interacts with a receptor on the surface of immune cells to shield cancer cells from the body’s natural defenses. The findings, published in Nature Immunology, could lead to new immunotherapy approaches for treating cancer as well as potential treatments for inflammatory disorders and neurologic diseases. “Myeloid cells are among …

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — With a pristine white exterior, the Greece tax authority’s new headquarters looks out of place on a clogged industrial artery outside Athens.

The white dwarf, dubbed WD 1647+375, is about 260 light-years away from Earth in space. Despite its distance, this dead star’s realm might have had striking similarities to our own solar system, including something akin to a Kuiper …

Saturn, like Jupiter, lacks a surface. Its atmosphere of hydrogen and helium would offer no oxygen to breathe. With average temperatures of –178°C, you’d freeze almost instantly. Falling deeper, atmospheric pressure would become millions of times greater than Earth’s, compressing gases into liquids and metals, easily fatal to a human. Source link
