Though often dismissed as a notion unsupported by science, a study from researchers at the University of Lyon has revealed a small yet significant correlation between the length of the menstrual cycle and lunar phases.

As the population of survivors of cancer 65 and older will likely double in size during the next two decades, the review reveals an urgent need for research to address biases impacting cancer outcomes in older people.

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have shown that improving metabolic health in obese mice before vaccination, but not after, protects against influenza virus.

A novel urine-based test that measures 18 markers can accurately detect high-grade prostate cancer, potentially reducing the need for invasive biopsies.

In a first-of-its-kind clinical trial, researchers found that intravenous therapies made from virus-specific T-cells (VST) can effectively treat immunocompromised pediatric patients, far surpassing the current standard of care.

Scientists and engineers have developed a new coating for plastic particles that are used in 3D printing, which significantly increases their functionality and opens up new possibilities for commercial application.

Researchers from the University of Cologne have discovered that a combination of computer modelling, a novel training approach, and artificial intelligence improves reading performance when learning languages.

Researchers, using an experiment that elucidated the function of tens of thousands of noncoding variants, discovered a link between functional mutations and genes linked to cancer pathways, as well as indicators to predict cancer patient survival.

In an effort to understand how and why 2D interfaces take on the structures they do, researchers have developed a method to visualize the thermally-induced rearrangement of 2D materials using transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

New research into the most recent Ice Age has helped our understanding of the relationship between CO₂ and global temperature, revealing that the worst-case global warming scenario is "unlikely".
