A study finds that throat issues lead to reduced baroreflex sensitivity, impairing blood pressure regulation. This reduction may be due to the Vagus nerve prioritizing airway protection over blood pressure control.

Newborns who had an atypical pattern of metabolites were more than 14 times as likely to die of sudden infant death syndrome, compared to infants who had more typical metabolic patterns.

A study reveals that sperm motility improves after stress rather than during it. By examining extracellular vesicles, researchers found enhanced sperm performance post-stress, suggesting an evolutionary advantage.

Pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death, plays a crucial role in promoting healing and tissue repair. This opens new avenues for understanding how our bodies respond to injury and could lead to innovative treatments.

Air samples taken at altitudes up to 3,000 meters over Japan unveil the presence of a wide array of microbes, some of which are potentially pathogenic to humans, transported thousands of kilometers by aerosols originating in northeast China.

Cancer cells appear to hijack a genetic pathway involved in DNA repair to drive malignancy and overcome treatment, a finding that could lead to new strategies to avoid drug resistance.

New research has illustrated why a promising cancer drug doesn't work against some breast cancers – and has offered insights for new drugs.

Researchers have manipulated a metabolic pathway in E.coli to create a strain that can produce an aromatic polyester.

Researchers at EMBL and Heidelberg University have developed an advanced AI-powered microscopy technique to observe glioblastoma cells in deep brain tissue. This allows real-time tracking of tumor cells in the corpus callosum.

One of the drawbacks of fitness trackers and other wearable devices is that their batteries eventually run out of juice. But what if in the future, wearable technology could use body heat to power itself?
