Imagine trying to solve a complex puzzle where some pieces look almost identical but have tiny differences. That's what scientists are up against when studying LILRB3 and LILRA6, two genes that are part of a larger family called Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptors (LILRs). These genes are found
Dentistry is a field where precision is key. Remounting dental casts to a mechanical articulator is a common task. This task is usually done with a facebow. But what if there was a way to do it without one? Enter a new method using computed tomography (CT) scans. This new method uses a jig. Th

Imagine a world where industrial waste doesn't just pollute our planet, but actually helps generate clean energy. This isn't a fantasy. Piezoelectric materials can do just that. They turn mechanical energy into electrical energy. This makes them super useful for industrial applications. Sci
Thailand is seeing a rise in the use of mobile health apps, or mHealth, as part of its digital health revolution. These apps are becoming more and more important in the healthcare sector. However, there are still some challenges, especially when it comes to getting older adults on board. The digita
Imagine tiny molecules that can seek and destroy cancer cells. Scientists have created a special molecule called TPBBT. This molecule has a unique structure that allows it to absorb near-infrared light. This is important because near-infrared light can penetrate deep into the body, making it perfect
Imagine a world where the classic board game Monopoly comes to life. That's exactly what's happening with a new reality competition series in the works.
