As if you didn’t already have enough to worry about to keep you up at night, a new study indicates that poor sleep can negatively affect your gut microbiome, which can, in turn, lead to additional health issues.

New genetic research has identified fin whales - the second-largest whale on earth – as a separate subspecies.

Using a mouse model, researchers test a new approach for delivering and releasing cancer drugs to cancerous lymph nodes via the lymphatic system using sound waves.

Researchers reveal that a recently developed cancer drug called Pixantrone forces itself inside the double helix structure of DNA , then shrinks the backbone.

Two new studies describe in detail the mechanism that causes tissues to undergo structural changes. The research indicates that, via the collision of cells, different tissue structures can be formed – this remodeling can create “super-highways”, which are used by cancer cells to escape to other sites within the body.

Researchers have found that features of the elbow can help them to accurately estimate the sex of skeletons.

During Earth’s last glacial period, temperatures on the planet periodically spiked dramatically and rapidly. A recent study suggests that mathematics from information theory could offer a powerful tool for analyzing and understanding them.

A new study identifies what is known and what the gaps in evidence are when it comes to the effects of sweeteners on children’s health.

Women who are unable to produce enough breast milk for their children are increasingly turning to “mother-to-mother” informal milk-sharing, a potentially unsafe practice that is discouraged by the pediatric medical community.

A new breakthrough could lead to more portable, scalable microfluidic devices.
