Researchers have found that the deadly deformed wing virus (DMV) may have evolved to be less deadly in at least one U.S. forest. The findings could help inform solutions to mitigate the virus in managed honey bee colonies.

Long-term alcohol consumption has been linked to faster biological aging, notably in middle-aged and older people, as measured by epigenetic aging clocks.

We’ve known for more than a century that women outlive men. But new research shows that, at least in the United States, the gap has been widening for more than a decade.

A pair of recent studies have uncovered novel cellular mechanisms that are involved in two types of genetic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. The findings improve the understanding of ALS.

Researchers from the University of Cologne discovered that sharks possess the same receptors that humans use to perceive bitter taste.

Researchers have released a groundbreaking study identifying 4,749 key gene clusters, termed “prognostic modules,” that significantly influence the progression of 32 different types of cancer.

For years, researchers and clinicians have known that lupus, an autoimmune condition, occurs in women at a rate nine times higher than in men. Researchers have now uncovered answers about the disease’s frequency in females.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison made an unexpected discovery while studying a strain of yeast closely related to the kind used to ferment beer.

A single master regulator of the genome can be used to reprogram a network of thousands of genes in T cells and greatly enhance cancer cell killing.

A surprising thing happened when researchers began exploring whether early-life stress compounds the effects of a childhood head injury on health and behavior later in life.
