A new study is putting a high-tech twist on a long-standing question in health science: does metabolic syndrome accelerate biological aging, or can accelerated biological...
A new analysis of genetic diversity in the United States is offering researchers a sharper way to investigate why health-related traits differ among populations with...
The Yellow River Basin, one of China’s most important and environmentally pressured river systems, is revealing how profoundly water extremes can reshape the microscopic communities...
A new artificial-intelligence system could help pathologists search through three-dimensional tissue specimens without forcing them to inspect every microscopic layer by hand. The framework, called...
Ageing does not weaken the body through a single biological switch. Muscle fibres gradually lose their ability to grow and repair, energy metabolism becomes less...
Pyrogallol, a naturally occurring chemical with applications ranging from photography and dye production to pharmaceuticals and metal processing, may deserve far greater attention as an...
NRG Oncology, one of the principal research organizations within the U.S. National Cancer Institute’s National Clinical Trials Network, has secured a new six-year funding award...
A catalyst made from discarded fish bones could turn one of agriculture’s most persistent waste streams into a concentrated source of valuable hydrocarbons, according to...
Researchers at the Hopp Children’s Cancer Center Heidelberg (KiTZ), Heidelberg University Hospital, the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), and collaborating institutions have reported an extraordinary...
A new study published in PLOS One reports that sustainability labels on meat products are associated with substantially higher prices in the United States, but...
Extreme weather is redrawing the map of North American birdlife—and conventional biodiversity models may be missing the scale of the problem. A new Yale-led study...
Forests are often portrayed as collections of distinct species, each with a relatively fixed set of biological characteristics. But a new study suggests that this...
Hepatic insulin resistance, a metabolic defect that can emerge years before type 2 diabetes, has been linked to a previously underappreciated enzyme that may disrupt...
A new study in Nature is challenging a conclusion that has become increasingly common across science and technology: that disruptive events are becoming less frequent....
Superstorm Sandy did not end when the winds fell quiet. In New York City, floodwaters, damaged buildings, prolonged dampness and disrupted housing conditions continued to...
