A study has found that alterations in the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene are associated with a poorer prognosis for children with high-risk neuroblastoma.

Every day, our bodies face a bombardment of UV rays, ozone, cigarette smoke, industrial chemicals and other hazards. This exposure can lead to free-radical production in our bodies, which damages our DNA and tissues. A new study suggests that unrepaired DNA damage can increase the speed of aging.

Using mouse models, researchers have shown that high levels of a protein, called low-density lipoprotein receptor, are associated with reduced heart disease and can also protect against Alzheimer's-like brain damage. Increasing levels of the receptor could potentially help to slow or stop cognitive decline.

Researchers have shown for the first time that a machine-learning algorithm can recognize cells infected with herpes or adenoviruses based solely on the fluorescence of the cell nucleus.

Researchers from the University of Helsinki have used live tissue imaging to visualize the emergence of the mammary gland.

Researchers have systematically analyzed how the varying surface architecture found in breast implants influences the development of adverse effects, which in rare cases can include an unusual type of lymphoma.

Since lead additives in petrol were phased out, the levels of lead in London's atmosphere have dropped drastically, but despite this, the airborne particles present are still highly lead-enriched.

A blood test that can detect tiny amounts of circulating cancer DNA may be able to identify risk of cancer recurrence and guide precision treatment in bladder cancer following surgery.

The investigational drugs gantenerumab and solanezumab – both monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapeutics – failed to slow cognitive decline in patients with dominantly inherited Alzheimer’s disease (DIAD), a new trial has found.

A study has found that the hippocampus plays a role in short-term memory and helps guide decision-making alongside its role in long-term memory.
