New research has revealed common genetic variants that can protect the kidneys from damage from inflammation.

Researchers have found that an extra copy of a gene in Down syndrome patients causes improper development of neurons in mice.

According to research, gut bacteria use super-polymer structures to transfer drug-resistant DNA, allowing them to fend off antibiotics.

Among the biggest environmental problems of our time, micro- and nanoplastic particles (MNPs) can enter the body in various ways. Research has now shown how these minute particles manage to breach the blood-brain barrier and as a consequence penetrate the brain.

A team has developed a new test for detecting biological markers related to several types of cancer.

Using powerful sequencing technology, researchers have identified specific biomarker patterns in the blood that are unique to severe COVID-19 infection, as well as others unique to Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children.

In a discovery fundamental to the inner workings of cells, scientists have discovered that if oxidative stress damages ribosomes, repair crews may move in to help fix the damage so work can quickly resume.

New research from the University of Utah Health and the University of Pittsburgh has compared the genomes of 62 mammals, revealing new insights into how humans lost their body hair. The research was published in eLife.

A new study in both mice and humans has found that biological age is dynamic, and that some increases in biological age caused by stress can be reversed with recovery.

A majority of parents of children diagnosed with Lyme disease reported that their kids recovered within six months of completing antibiotic treatment.
