Scientists have identified a crucial molecular switch that decides whether pancreatic cancer cells resist chemotherapy or respond to it. The key player, a gene called GATA6, keeps tumours in a more structured and treatable form—but it gets shut down by an…

For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system? Researchers at the University of Notre Dame now suggest that intelligence…

Touch—the first sense to develop in the womb—is fundamental to our bodily experience and our everyday lives. Yet, as the least studied of the five senses, it remains somewhat mysterious at the molecular ...

A famously resilient bacterium may be tough enough to survive one of the most violent events imaginable on Mars. In laboratory experiments designed to mimic the crushing shock of a massive asteroid impact, researchers squeezed Deinococcus radiodurans between…

Scientists at the University of Kentucky have uncovered a new reason why people with Alzheimer's disease often struggle with sleep, long before memory loss begins. The study, led by researchers at the ...

Getting someone to curb or stop harmful behaviors takes not just a convincing argument, but one that evokes sympathy, says one UConn researcher whose recent study of cancer warning labels shows the benefits ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, Mayo Clinic researchers have identified specific DNA-level changes in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Using advanced biological analysis, ...

Short-term surges in air pollution in New Jersey from the 2023 Canadian wildfires were associated with a higher stroke rate and more serious strokes, according to a preliminary study to be presented at ...

Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) are typically diagnosed after irreversible pathology has developed. Aging, the strongest risk factor, drives molecular changes that predispose ...

Around six deaths a year are linked to clubbing in the UK, finds a 15-year retrospective study published online in Emergency Medicine Journal. Physical assault, including stabbings and head trauma, or ...

Sleeping for 7 hours and 18 minutes every night may be the sweet spot for warding off the risk of insulin resistance—the precursor to type 2 diabetes—suggests a large observational study published ...

A team of researchers from Skoltech, the Federal Center for Brain and Neurotechnologies (FMBA of Russia), Lomonosov Moscow State University, and other leading organizations has released a dataset that ...

A new Cochrane review has found that sucrose can help with pain relief in newborn babies during common hospital procedures, such as venipuncture. This involves drawing blood with a needle, typically for ...

Savannah Bee Company is recalling a batch of its Honey BBQ Sauce-Mustard after discovering the product may contain undeclared wheat and soy, two common allergens.

More than 651,000 large bottles of water are being pulled from store shelves after health officials flagged sanitation issues.

A new study has uncovered why some brain cells are more resistant to Alzheimer’s damage than others. Researchers found a natural cleanup system that helps remove toxic tau protein before it can form harmful clumps. The study also shows that cellular stress…

Before antibiotics and antiseptics, healers across ancient Egypt, Greece, and China reached for honey to treat wounds. Archaeological evidence shows humans have been harvesting and collecting honey for ...

Japanese snow monkeys don’t just soak in hot springs to escape the winter chill — their steamy spa sessions may also be reshaping their invisible world. Researchers in Japan found that macaques who regularly bathe show subtle but intriguing differences in…

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new hero in the fight against one of the world’s deadliest fungal infections: albumin, the most abundant protein in human blood. In a major international study, researchers found that people who develop mucormycosis…
