More than 10 members of human PI-PLC isoforms have been identified and classified into three classes beta, gamma, and delta, which are regulated by distinct mechanisms. Here we report identification of a novel class of human PI-PLC, named PLCepsilon, which is characterized by the presence of...
Matter—the visible kind, that is—interacts with the universe in many ways. It absorbs and, in many cases, emits electromagnetic radiation in the form of gamma rays, visible light, infrared, and more. It can generate magnetic fields of various sorts and strengths. Matter has mass, creating...
Researchers can also detect dark matter indirectly through specific signatures in cosmic rays and gamma rays. Scientists search for these signatures using space-based and ground-based observatories. Researchers are also trying to create dark matter with particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Co...
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, as are radio waves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and microwaves. Gamma rays can be used to treat cancer, and gamma-ray bursts are studied by astronomers. Electromagnetic (EM) radiation is transmitted in waves or particles ...
Finally, we present the promises and challenges that arise when seeking to incorporate microbiome data in dietary planning and portray the anticipated revolution that the field of nutrition is facing upon adopting these novel concepts. Key points Common multifactorial diseases in both industrialized and ...
NANOCLUSTERING/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/Science Photo Library/GettyImages Alpha, beta, gamma rays: It almost sounds like the tagline of an old-school motion picture about aliens from outer space, newly arrived on Earth with their ultra-high-tech gadgets (and hopefully a warm disposition). In real...
Data science has an image problem. Companies are increasingly looking to hire the best and the brightest in this field, but to many talented young people, it’s not an attractive career option. There is a widespread perception among STEM students that data science, the rapidly growing field be...
In the 1960s,according to the American Physical Society, physicists Robert Pound and Glen Rebka shot gamma-rays first down, then up the side of a tower at Harvard University. Pound and Rebka found that the gamma-rays slightly changed frequency due to distortions caused by gravity. ...
Overall, my research focuses on radio observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). One aspect of my research is following up on GRBs that come from the collisions of neutron stars. We can use observations from the radio to X-rays to track the light that comes from these explosions, known as...
