Despite transition period, maximal running shoes may still increase risk of injury
The shoes, which feature increased cushioning, particularly in the forefoot region of the midsole, affect runners' biomechanics, leaving them at increased risk of injury, said Christine Pollard, director of the Bend campus's Functional Orthopedic Research Center of Excellence (FORCE) Lab and a co-author of the study. "These shoes may work
NASA's landmark Twins Study reveals resilience of human body in space
The Twins Study provides the first integrated biomolecular view into how the human body responds to the spaceflight environment, and serves as a genomic stepping stone to better understand how to maintain crew health during human expeditions to the Moon and Mars. Retired NASA astronauts Scott Kelly and his identical
Eelectrostimulation can improve working memory in people: As memories fade, can we supercharge them back to life?
Reinhart and Nguyen's research targets working memory -- the part of the mind where consciousness lives, the part that is active whenever we make decisions, reason, and recall our grocery lists.
Bacterial therapy in a dish
Recent research has found that many bacteria selectively colonize tumors in vivo, prompting scientists to engineer them as programmable vehicles, biological "robots" in other words, to deliver anticancer therapeutics. Researchers are also developing new, "smart" medicines by programming bacteria to tackle other diseases, such as gastrointestinal disease and infections. Key
Heart patch could limit muscle damage in heart attack aftermath
The patch, made from a water-based hydrogel material, was developed using computer simulations of heart function in order to fine tune the material's mechanical properties.
Crucial 'electrical switch' in brain: Native structure of AMPA receptor in rodent model may lead to discovering mechanism behind conditions such as Alzheimer's disease
The new research, published in the journal Science, is the first to reveal the structure of AMPA receptors in their natural state.
New deep-learning approach predicts protein structure from amino acid sequence
Composed of long chains of amino acids, proteins perform these myriad tasks by folding themselves into precise 3D structures that govern how they interact with other molecules.
Biosensor 'bandage' collects and analyzes sweat
Compared with other biofluids such as blood, sweat has the potential to be obtained less invasively for diagnostic testing.
What Is the Halo Effect and 5 Ways It Distorts Your Perception of Others
Have you ever thought you could tell what a person was like just from a superficial impression of them? You might have been under the influence of the halo effect.

Novel 5-minute workout improves blood pressure, may boost brain function
Preliminary results from a clinical trial of Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training (IMST), presented this week at the Experimental Biology conference in Orlando, suggest "yes." "IMST is basically strength-training for the muscles you breathe in with," said Daniel Craighead, a postdoctoral researcher in the the University of Colorado Boulder Integrative Physiology
Five-minute sample processing enhances DNA imaging and analysis
Described in ACS Nano, JILA's gentle, yet effective process involves binding DNA to mica, a flat silicate mineral.
