Stock market investors often rely on financial risk theories that help them maximize returns while minimizing financial loss due to market fluctuations. Inspired by those theories, researchers have developed a "risk-aware" mathematical model that could improve the performance of cloud-computing networks across the globe.

A new paper explains how we can give machines an edge at solving the challenges in materials science by intelligently organizing the data to be analyzed based on human knowledge, suggesting humanity might not be obsolete in an AI-driven world.

A new study has found that fewer than 8% of cancer drug trials reported participation from the four major races in the United States – white, Asian, black and Hispanic – between 2008 and 2018.

Scientists have received a $3.1 million grant to collaborate and investigate drug therapies for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have discovered a new sensory organ that is able to detect painful mechanical damage, such as pricks and impacts.

Researchers have determined that measuring the range of sizes in nanoparticles — instead of just the average particle size — is optimal for most applications.

Researchers have developed a strategy to target metastases residing in the lymph nodes, destroying them before they can cause cancer at other locations.

Therapeutic efforts to target "plaques and tangles", considered classic hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease, have previously met with dispiriting failure. Now researchers are exploring a drug called "DYR219" – its strength lies in the fact that it can target both plaques and tangles.

A drug has been developed that speeds up the regeneration of mouse and human blood stem cells after exposure to radiation. If these results can be replicated in humans, the compound known as "DJ009" could help people recover quicker from chemotherapy, radiation and bone marrow transplants.

Consuming flavonoid-rich items such as apples and tea protects against cancer and heart disease, particularly for smokers and heavy drinkers, suggests a new study.
