For centuries, scientists have noticed that certain illnesses seem to pass from one generation to the next, a connection first noted by Hippocrates, who observed that some diseases “ran in...
New findings from Edith Cowan University (ECU), Curtin University, and the University of Western Australia show no evidence that taking calcium alone increases the risk of developing dementia over time....
For nearly ten years, the Stanford Brain Organogenesis Program has been redefining how scientists study the human brain. Instead of relying on intact brain tissue from humans or animals, researchers...
A major study from Cleveland Clinic found that people with both obesity and type 2 diabetes who had weight-loss surgery lived longer and experienced fewer serious health issues than those...
Scientists at Johns Hopkins University may have uncovered a promising clue in the long-running effort to confirm the existence of dark matter. For years, astronomers have puzzled over a faint,...
How did the universe come into existence, and what early processes shaped everything that followed? A new study published in Physical Review Research takes aim at this fundamental question. Scientists...
A large-scale investigation has found that people who regularly consume both sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and low- or no-sugar-sweetened beverages (LNSSBs) face a significantly greater likelihood of developing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic...
Researchers at Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah (the U) have discovered that triple-negative breast cancer relies heavily on lipids for growth. These fatty acids, a defining feature...
Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute and Vividion Therapeutics have discovered chemical compounds that can precisely prevent the cancer-driving gene RAS from connecting with a key pathway responsible for tumor...
Researchers at the University of Maryland have identified the gene responsible for a rare type of wheat that forms three ovaries in each flower instead of just one. Because each...
