The most important chemical reaction in human biology happens on a cellular level to release energy so your body can move, repair and sustain itself. On average, this process happens 1,021 times every second. It’s called hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and, despite its common occurrence, scientists don’t fully understand how it works. However, algorithms …

A new study from the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine shows that single-dose gene therapy did more than halt inherited blindness in adult retinas — it actually prompted mature cells to rebuild damaged connections and recover lost vision. When researchers at the Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine recently restored vision in adult …
When you get your yearly flu shot, you’re helping your body stay one step ahead of the rapidly mutating influenza virus. But what if there was a way to achieve stronger, multi-year protection from a single jab? With the support of a new grant from the National Institutes of Health, or NIH, Michigan State University …
Summary We rely on GPS to help locate where we are, but satellite signals can be blocked or disrupted inside buildings, underground, in dense urban environments and in other challenging settings. A new approach from Michigan State University allows physically separate wireless systems to synchronize with one another in real time without cables or using …
From coal miners and construction crews to engineered stone countertop fabricators and foundry workers, more than 2.2 million U.S. workers inhale fine particles of rock, sand or coal every day on the job. After years of exposure, trapped dust can cause thick scar tissue to build up inside the lungs leading to long-term lung damage …
MSU receives $20 million NSF grant for a new shared-use facility Summary Space radiation can damage conventional electronics, creating challenges for spacecraft operating beyond low Earth orbit and for future missions farther into space. Michigan State University is establishing a shared-use facility that brings together advanced diamond and carbon materials, device fabrication and high-energy radiation …
