A team of UVM scientists led by Mark Nelson, Ph.D., from the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont, has uncovered a novel mechanism that reshapes our understanding of how blood ...

Researchers have discovered a mechanism in our cells that is essential to energy production in the muscles. The discovery may lead to new treatment for disorders affecting the muscles, such as ...

Defense mechanisms are rooted in Freud’s theory of personality.According to his model, the mind has three dueling forces: the id (unconscious and primitive urges for food, comfort, and sex), the ...

The defects in molecular and cellular processes that constitute the triggers of specific pathologies are referred to as mechanisms of disease. Research in this area is vital for designing ...

Enzyme mechanisms are the chemical transformations, and the steps within them, generated by enzymatic action on substrates. The mechanism of enzyme catalysis is similar in principle to other types ...

Heart failure (HF) is strongly associated with inflammation. In pressure overload (PO)–induced HF, cardiac stress triggers adaptive immunity, ablation, or inhibition, which blocks disease progression.

Because we all instinctively know that one can't possibly survive (or barely survive) such a long fall. Long falls are just one type of mechanism of injury that is seen in emergency medicine.

Graphically, forces are often represented by a vector whose end represents the point of action. A mechanism is what is responsible for any action or reaction. Machines are based on the idea of ...

Just like emissions trading, for such mechanisms to work a tonne reduction must represent a real tonne. This means that the calculation of the “business-as-usual” emissions must be based on good ...
