Latest U.S. estimates indicate that since 1989, hundreds of thousands of women's lives have been saved by mammography and improvements in breast cancer treatment.

Using a combination of cryo-force spectroscopy and computer simulations, scientists were able to show that DNA molecules behave like a chain of small coil springs.

Rice University scientists have given organic chemists a boost with their latest discovery of a one-step method to add nitrogen to compounds for drugs, pesticides, fertilizers and other products.

Athletes know a vigorous workout can release a flood of endorphins: “feel-good” hormones that boost mood. Now evidence shows that exercise produces another hormone that may improve memory and protect against Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new study.

A research team evaluated whether different genotypes (i.e., possible genetic combinations) of the Oxytocin Receptor gene (OXTR) influenced how spouses support one another, which is a key determinant of overall marital quality.

The programme will invite people aged 55-74 who are at an increased risk of lung cancer, such as heavy smokers and ex-smokers, for a lung health check to assess lung cancer risk, and then a chest CT scan if needed.

A brand new type of cancer drug that acts as a ‘Trojan horse’ to get inside tumour cells has shown promise in patients with six different cancer types.

The potential side effects of health interventions were not fully reported in more than a third of published health study reviews, research at the University of York has shown.

Adding olefin enables efficient solvent-free cross-coupling reactions, leading to environmentally friendly syntheses of a wide range of organic materials.

To understand how to make liquid jet spray cleaner and more efficient, researchers must understand one of science’s great challenges—turbulent motion in fluids. Researchers have employed high-performance computing resources to create high-end flow simulations for better understanding turbulent fluid motion.
