Toward zero hunger: More food or a smarter food system?
When thinking about ways to end global hunger, many scholars focus too narrowly on increasing crop yields while overlooking other critical aspects of the food system.
Young children willing to punish misbehavior, even at personal cost
Children as young as three years old are willing to punish others' bad behavior, even at personal cost, finds a new study by psychology researchers.
Inhibition of protein phosphorylation promotes optic nerve regeneration after injury
Research results suggest that the inhibition of phosphorylation of microtubule-binding protein CRMP2 could be a novel approach to the development of treatments for optic neuropathies, such as glaucoma..
CBD clinical trial results on seizure frequency in dogs ‘encouraging’
Scientists have found in a small study that 89 percent of dogs who received CBD in the clinical trial had a reduction in the frequency of seizures. Nine dogs were treated with CBD, while seven in a co..
Children who walk to school less likely to be overweight or obese

A better understanding of the von Willebrand Factor’s A2 domain
A team of researchers is working to characterize the mysterious protein known as the Von Willebrand Factor (vWF). In a recent article, they advance experimental data for the shear-induced extensional ..
Scientists use molecular tethers, chemical ‘light sabers’ for tissue engineering
Researchers have unveiled a new strategy to keep proteins intact and functional in synthetic biomaterials for tissue engineering. Their approach modifies proteins at a specific point so that they can ..
