Explore dark matter and the first galaxies at the same time as the 21cm forest. This approach can help constrain the properties of dark matter and provide insight into the thermal history of the universe.

down syndrome occurs when an embryo inherits an extra copy of chromosome 21, leading to overexpression of the genes it carries.1 Scientists have yet to explore how these extra gene copies drive Down syndrome, but a team of geneticists led by Katherine Waugh of the University of Colorado recently revealed the role four interferon receptor … Read more

In a study published in the medRxiv* preprint server, a team of interdisciplinary research groups has identified a genome-wide significant association (GWAS) for long-term coronavirus disease (COVID) at the FOXP4 locus, which has previously been associated with cancer, severe COVID 2019 ( COVID-19) and lung function. Study: Genome-wide association study of long COVID. Image Credit: … Read more
Recent research indicates that rapamycin is the only drug that consistently improves mammalian longevity. Until 2009, researchers believed that aging was simply not curable, or if it was, only growth factors would be able to impact the seemingly inexorable process. Two scientific approaches were available that could delay age-related restrictions of diet and/or growth factors … Read more
This week, scientists published evidence that supermassive black holes send out shock waves that distort space and time as they orbit each other. One of the groups that made the discovery is the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOgrav) Collaboration, chaired by Dr Stephen Taylor, a Northern Ireland native. The 35-year-old credits his … Read more
