Biobots, whose growing line of variants started with xenobots, are fascinating tiny self-powered living robots built ...

A new class of living robots integrates neurons that self-organize and alter shape, gene expression, and behavior. The findings reveal how nervous systems can emerge in novel contexts, advancing ...

Fujita Health University researchers investigated whether physical activity, like walking, can increase gut motility. Healthy adults walked for 20 minutes while bowel sounds were measured as a ...

A study by the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences and the University of Bonn has shown that pH value is crucial for sperm motility in sea urchins and salmon. An increase in pH ...

Scientists at Arizona State University have uncovered surprising new ways bacteria move, even without their usual whip-like propellers called flagella. In one study, E. coli and salmonella were found ...

New research from Arizona State University shows that bacteria can travel in unexpected ways even when their usual propulsion system fails. Normally ...

In patients with CF, pre-transplant PH is associated with improved early post-transplant survival, but with poorer outcomes after 3 years.

Researchers developed a biodegradable sanitary pad using water hyacinth fibers and cotton, transforming an invasive aquatic ...

A Japanese registry has identified a blind spot in the routine care of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Serum bicarbonate levels are rarely measured, leaving metabolic acidosis largely ...

Summer may be the best season for sperm. A team from the University of Manchester, Queen’s University (Ontario, Canada), and Cryos International (Aarhus, Denmark), analyzed more than 15,000 men in ...
