Hidden Helpers: Pittsburgh’s Industrial Past Might Hold the Key to a Cleaner Future
Pittsburgh has reinvented itself from a steel powerhouse to a hub for health care and education. But the city’s industrial past left a hidden legacy: toxic compounds like benzene and toluene in the soil. While most life can’t survive such a contamination, some microbes adapted to use the pollutants as food.
Frozen on the Ice: The Brain Science Behind Perfect Olympic Timing
Research from Carnegie Mellon University helps explain why that split-second pause happens and how the brain controls it, offering insight not only into elite athletic performance, but also how people make everyday decisions when the outcome isn’t clear.
Breakthrough in RNA Research Could Lead to Treatment for Neuromuscular Disorders
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to target RNA that could lead to new treatment options for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most common adult-onset form of muscular dystrophy, and other RNA-repeat expansion disorders
