Girls exposed to certain EDCs may be more likely to start puberty early, according to new research. Early puberty is associated with an increased risk of psychosocial problems, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and breast cancer.

People with obesity who are long-time exercisers have healthier fat tissue and can store fat more effectively than nonexercisers with obesity, according to a new research study.

By combining and developing various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques, researchers have revealed triggers of programmed cell death.

Lab-grown blood stem cells could benefit from having inflammatory signals switched off, a new study reveals.

Bacterial twitching motility, powered by type IV pili (T4P), is influenced by surface properties. Bile salts and detergents can enhance this motility by altering surface hydrophilicity.

A recent study highlights the role of sphingolipids in cancer cells' immune evasion strategies. Researchers found that these lipids, crucial for cell membrane stability, help tumors avoid immune detection.

Around 300,000 people die from hepatitis C every year. A new study is the first to map the protein complex that enables the virus to infect our cells, potentially paving the way for an effective vaccine.

A new imaging device using Raman Spectral Projection Tomography offers non-destructive, detailed views of deep tissue structures. It could revolutionize cartilage and tissue transplants, reduce costs, and improve tissue engineering outcomes.

Researchers have developed a technique using DNA microbeads to control organoid development. This method releases growth factors and signal molecules precisely, creating more complex and realistic organoids.

Researchers have discovered that microwave heating of Na-ZSM-5 zeolite can efficiently convert waste cooking oil into olefins, a crucial chemical precursor. This method significantly outperforms conventional heating.
