Researchers are exploring the use of a unique breath test for the rapid screening of patients for COVID-19. Results from the initial study in patients found the breath test is highly accurate in identifying COVID-19 infections in critically ill patients.

Scientists have taken a closer look at how mitochondria are maintained in nondividing cells, such as neurons, with the ultimate goal of developing a better understanding of how to prevent or treat age-related diseases.

Oceanographers have calibrated and processed data from microplastic sampling expeditions to build a publicly available dataset for more accurately assessing the abundance of microplastics—and their long-term trends—in the world’s oceans.

Researchers have created chemical compounds that can neutralize several variants of SARS-CoV-2 and stop infection of cultured human cells.

A new review has found that irregular responses in the brain to challenging tasks and mistakes could be key to understanding common links between abnormal behaviors in a range of mental illnesses and cognitive disorders.

Researchers have demonstrated a thorough and non-invasive imaging technique to identify areas of the eye affected by diabetic retinopathy, a progressive eye disease associated with diabetes

Animals can navigate to a desired location by relying on the brain’s internal cognitive map. Scientists have now discovered a neural code for spatial goals, demonstrating the existence of the brain’s goal map guiding us toward a remote destination over space and time.

A new literature review by UK researchers from the Societies Research Hub at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) and Nottingham Trent University, led by Sarah Gradidge, explores this "meat paradox" – namely the coexistence of eating meat and caring for animals.

Around a decade ago, groundbreaking research found that pupils don't only detect light. Now, a new study finds that eyes can perceive the amount of objects in a person's field of vision.

The UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has released long-awaited guidelines on the treatment of myalgic encephalomyeltis/ chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), which scrap previous recommendations for graded exercise therapy (GET) for the condition.
