A new study from Osaka Metropolitan University is drawing attention to an overlooked consequence of shoulder replacement surgery: the gradual loss of bone surrounding the...

Pregnancy Is a High-Stakes Biological Trial, and Loss Is Its Most Common Outcome Pregnancy is often described as a predictable sequence that begins with fertilization...

Extreme heat and bitter cold are usually reported as threats to health, infrastructure and agriculture. A new study published in Nature Communications adds another consequence...

IgA vasculitis and immune thrombocytopenia are among the most frequently encountered immune-mediated disorders in children, yet they affect the body in markedly different ways. IgA...

Dengue prevention research has expanded dramatically across the world, yet the evidence most needed by health authorities remains difficult to find and interpret. A new...

A disease once regarded as almost exclusively adult is advancing rapidly through adolescence in the United States. New data from Colorado indicate that the incidence...

KAIST researchers have identified a possible route toward electric-vehicle batteries that charge faster without losing as much performance or lifespan. Their approach uses a three-dimensional...

Cancer cells may have a previously underappreciated vulnerability: their dependence on the controlled production of a membrane lipid that helps organize the cell’s internal architecture....

A newly reported molecular mechanism is drawing attention to one of the most tightly regulated steps in cell biology: the production of histone proteins during...

A nanoscale coating that deliberately uses tiny surface “defects” to make water droplets appear faster and leave the surface sooner has delivered a dramatic increase...

Pancreatic cancer has long challenged scientists not only because it is difficult to detect and treat, but also because a single tumour can behave like...

A new study published in Nature Communications is drawing attention to a question at the intersection of diabetes, heart rhythm disorders and stroke prevention: could...

A Parkinson’s treatment designed to smooth out the disease’s most disruptive motor fluctuations is now drawing attention to a different clinical challenge: psychotic complications that...

For decades, biologists have known that the liver is not a uniform chemical factory. Its cells perform different tasks depending on where they sit within...

A new approach to building faster, more compact optical sensors could help push silicon photonics beyond the limits of conventional semiconductor platforms. In a study...
