Cellular aging is linked to structural changes in the brain
A new study now shows that if telomeres change in their length, that change is also reflected in our brain structure.

Gallium nitride, a semiconductor that revolutionized energy-efficient LED lighting, could also transform electronics and wireless communication, thanks to a new discovery.
Read moreFor hospitalized patients with fungal infections, specialists save lives
Fungal bloodstream infections are responsible for the deaths of more than 10,000 people every year. New research shows that the death rate can be reduced by 20% if infectious disease specialists oversee care of such patients.
Read moreSome parents pass on more mutations to their children than others
Everyone is a mutant but some are prone to diverge more than others, report scientists. A new study shows the number of mutations a child has compared to her parents varies dramatically with some people being born with twice as many as others, and that characteristic runs in families.
Read moreMissing electrons reveal the true face of a new copper-based catalyst
New research has resulted in a reactive copper-nitrene catalyst that pries apart carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds and transforms them into carbon-nitrogen (C-N) bonds, which are a crucial building block for chemical synthesis, especially in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
