Adults infected with SARS-CoV-2 exhale metabolites in their breath that can be detected by diagnostic devices. Now, researchers have shown that children infected with SARS-CoV-2 also show breath metabolite changes, but they’re different from the ones in adults.

Scientists have identified nearly 300 gene variations that influence reproductive lifespan in women. Additionally, in mice, they have successfully manipulated several key genes associated with these variants to extend their reproductive lifespan.

University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have determined the location of natural blood-pressure barometers inside our bodies that have eluded scientists for more than 60 years.

Scientists have found that surplus sugar may cause our mitochondria to become less efficient, reducing their energy output.

Researchers are investigating whether a naturally occurring protein made in immune cells, called TRAIL, is effective in killing colon cancer cells.

Breath instead of blood: researchers from the University of Basel have developed a new test method to measure treatment success in epilepsy patients. They hope that this will enable doctors to react more precisely when treating the disease.

Researchers have developed chemically modified guide RNAs for a CRISPR system that targets RNA instead of DNA. These chemically modified guide RNAs significantly enhance the ability to target RNA in human cells.

Chemicals in your furniture, plastic housewares and pesticides used in your yard may be making you fat, according to Boston University Schools of Medicine (BUSM) and Public Health (BUSPH) researchers.

A study by an international research group identified 15 novel biomarkers that are linked to late-onset dementias. These biomarkers are proteins, which predict cognitive decline and subsequent increased risk of dementia already 20 years before the disease onset.

Scientists have outlined a new paradigm to explain the activation of Type II receptors. These receptors play important roles in our body’s use of cholesterol and glucose, among other critical processes.
