In the quest to understand what the brain has in store for people with feeling they are having early signs of mental decline, neurologists came up with an idea. They called it amyloid PET scans. These tests help doctors understand the amyloid protein building up in the brain that could lead to mo
Imagine AI in endoscopy as a student learning from textbooks. For AI, learning from clean, consistent textbook images is like a breeze. Now, picture the endoscopy clinics where these AI systems are used. These clinics don't always have the same image settings. This difference can cause AI to miss im
Firstly, imagine a battle between tiny organisms such as Fasciola gigantica and Fasciola hepatica and the livestock industry. FgSAP-2 is a key protein that can help us in this battle. There are two ways to produce this protein: in bacteria (prokaryotic expression) and in more sophisticated organis

You may think that the rather inexplicably sounding crystals lithium copper borophosphate LICu2 sheds some exciting light on the alloy properties copper, lithium and phosphorus have a very interesting behaviour these otherwordly crystals can sort molecules! Lets begin what molecules are.
Bright light can trigger sneezing in about one in four people. This odd reaction, called the photic sneeze reflex (PSR). We often see this phenomenon on sunny days or when someone steps out of a dark room into the light. The exact reasons behind this reflex are still unknown. Some researchers think
