Results from a clinical trial of more than 250 participants with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) revealed that ibudilast was better than a placebo in slowing down brain shrinkage. The study also showed that the main side effects of ibudilast were gastrointestinal and headaches.
New research shows a more prosperous global future is possible if both climate change and sustainable fisheries management are addressed now.
Researchers showed they could shrink tumors in laboratory models of medulloblastoma, and extend life. The study is a necessary step toward developing clinical trials that would see if the approach works for children.
Scientists have found that some cells can divide without a molecule that was previously thought necessary. Their results explain how liver cells can regenerate after injury and may help us understand how cancer arises and how cancer cells evolve to have additional mutations, which accelerates growth and spread.
The San Joaquin Valley in central California, like many other regions in the western United States, faces drought and ongoing groundwater extraction, happening faster than it can be replenished. And the land is sinking as a result — by up to a half-meter annually.
A new paper provides a proof of concept for using recurrence plots to mimic the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, which scientists use to determine if two data sets significantly differ.
One critical question has bedeviled astronomers for generations: Is there water deep in Jupiter's atmosphere, and if so, how much?
We’re hearing it everywhere. Machine learning and other types of artificial intelligence are the engines that will drive competitive advantage into the foreseeable future, but they have to rely on dat..
The adoption of in-memory computing continues to accelerate. Mature solutions enable organizations to obtain the database processing speed and scale they require for their digital transformation and o..
It’s not unlikely that future generations will look back at the first half of 2018 as the time the world woke up to data. In this short period, two developments, vastly different in scope and reach, c..
