The work shows that climate change could significantly increase fires, especially in boreal areas, and, therefore, associated iron emissions, as well as the supply of this micronutrient to the ocean, boosting phytoplankton productivity.

New research suggests that a pigment that causes yellowing of the skin, or jaundice, may help protect people from the most severe consequences of malaria.

Research from ISGlobal reveals that exposure to pollutants like NO₂, PM2.5, and black carbon during pregnancy can affect fetal brain development. Changes were noted in brain structures like the lateral ventricles and cerebellum.

A new method for targeted drug delivery uses chemically tagged platelets, offering fast, efficient treatment with minimal long-term drug presence.

Researchers at Mass General Brigham have developed a diagnostic tool called Luminescence CAscade-based Sensor (LUCAS) that produces highly sensitive, rapid detection of viruses in complex biological samples.

Researchers have discovered a set of alterations in the structure and cellular makeup of breast connective tissue – known as stromal tissue – linked to a higher risk of aggressive breast cancer and poorer survival outcomes.

Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a blood test that can identify early signs of Alzheimer’s disease by measuring proteins linked to the condition.

Researchers have developed a dental floss pick that also featured a sensor that can detect high cortisol levels in a person's saliva. The flosser can provide early warnings for chronic stress, and could be adapted to other biomarkers.

University of Cincinnati engineers created a new device to help doctors diagnose depression and anxiety.

Researchers have uncovered the molecular mechanisms that cause a commonly prescribed antipsychotic drug to produce harmful side effects similar to Parkinson’s disease symptoms.
