Zhongwei Li and his colleagues describe how they can generate rudimentary kidney structures, known as organoids, that resemble the collecting duct system that helps maintain the body's fluid and pH balance by concentrating and transporting urine.

The results could aid the development of treatments that halt the progression of cell damage after brain injury, which can otherwise lead to neurological diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

The research reveals high levels of pollutants, including lead, antimony, and copper, within the silicon-based and plastic fibres of common disposable face masks.

The report said that a team from University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography used two deep-sea robots to map more than 36,000 acres (145.7 square kilometers)

Researchers used a long record of data gathered by space-based instruments to estimate trends in a range of air pollutants for 2005 to 2018, timed to coincide with well-established air quality policies in the UK

Large-scale supercomputer simulations at the atomic level showed that the dominant "G form" variant of the Covid-19 causing virus is more infectious partly.

In the first study, Mateja Hajdinjak and team from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI-EVA) in Leipzig, Germany, examined oldest tooth and fragmentary remains of three individuals from Bacho Kiro Cave

The planet, which has four times the diameter of Earth, rotates on its side, making it different from all other planets in the solar system.

The planet, GJ 1132 b, is hypothesised to have begun as a gaseous world with a thick hydrogen blanket of atmosphere.

Impacted reefs were observed during a recent WCS underwater monitoring expedition around Marovo Lagoon, including the Zaira Resource Management Area on the western coast of Vangunu Island

The research initiative assumes significance in the wake of emerging seafood trade-related challenges faced by the fishermen targeting high-value resources and the export market players of India.

The tests on some samples showed a mutation, called E484K, which has already been found in the South Africa and Brazil variants.

Among the many things NASA must take into account in choosing a specific location are two key features the site must bask in near continuous sunlight

"Justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity are perennial principles of our philosophy of life. They come to us from the dawn of this civilisation through an unbroken chain," the President said.

In a yet-to-be peer reviewed research, scientists from the University of Texas Medical Branch, tested the ability of blood serum from 20 individuals immunised with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to neutralise coronavirus engineered to carry the new mutations

"The immense potential available in DRDO has been a catalyst for the development of industries in the defence manufacturing sector," said G Satheesh Reddy

The consequences of misinformation can be fatal, since often during a crisis, people are forced to make snap decisions while trying to take care of their mental health, said the researchers

Researchers used a special backpack to wirelessly monitor the brain waves of epilepsy patients as each one walked around an empty room hunting for a hidden, two-foot spot.

From sea sponges that can build spaceships to durians generating electricity, the year has also led to some pathbreaking innovations

The findings, detailing these cells called vector trace cells (VTC), were published in the journal Nature Neuroscience.
