A study reveals that adolescent rats fed a high-fat diet show altered brain development, impulsive actions, and cautious decision-making in adulthood. These changes link dietary patterns to modifications in the reward pathway and gut metabolism.

Household dogs are an overlooked transmission point for zoonotic pathogens such as Salmonella, a new study has found.

A USC-led study uncovers the evolutionary origins of mammalian outer ears, linking them to the elastic cartilage of ancient fish gills. Using genetic enhancers, researchers demonstrated a developmental connection across species.

UC Irvine researchers have identified lipocartilage, a unique fat-filled tissue found in ears, noses, and throats. Unlike traditional cartilage, it’s resilient, elastic, and ideal for tissue engineering applications.

Researchers have identified how a common gut bacterium regulates its sugar metabolism, enabling it to adapt to varying nutritional conditions.

A study of wild chimpanzees uncovered genetic adaptations to malaria linked to genes shared with humans, highlighting parallels in disease resistance. The research emphasizes the evolutionary ties between species.

Scientists at the University of Florida are testing a new type of citrus tree that can fight off the tiny insects responsible for citrus greening.

Researchers have developed a way to tag RNA with a glowing "lantern" to track it in real time as it moves through the body.

Tufts and Oxford researchers found that head trauma reactivates HSV-1 in the brain, leading to neurodegeneration linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Using a 3D brain tissue model, they showed how inflammation and amyloid plaques form.

Just as semaglutide products like Ozempic revolutionize the world of weight loss treatment, another fat-fighting injection emerges on the horizon.
