Human mini-lungs can mimic the response of animals when exposed to certain nanomaterials. Though not expected to replace animal models completely, human organoids could soon lead to significant reductions in research animal numbers.

Findings from the largest genetic study of PTSD to date could help explain why only some people develop the condition after experiencing trauma.

Recently approved Alzheimer's drugs work by tagging amyloid plaques for clearance by the brain's microglia. Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis researchers are developing an alternative approach, using a homemade antibody to directly mobilize microglia.

Scientists have revealed how minerals play a role in the complexity of female fertility and the menstrual cycle. The review looks at several minerals and how they impact hormonal regulation, ovarian function and ovulation, endometrial health and oxidative stress.

The warming climate shifts the dynamics of tundra environments and makes them release trapped carbon, reveals new research.

Warming in the North Atlantic could be making blue mussel shells more porous, undermining mussels’ overall health.

New research explains why metastatic uveal melanoma is resistant to conventional immunotherapies and how adoptive therapy can successfully treat this rare and aggressive cancer.

Women with triple-negative breast cancer and high levels of immune cells in the tumor have a lower risk of relapse after surgery, even without chemotherapy.
