A study of people in 15 countries reveals that while everyone favors rhythms with simple integer ratios, biases can vary quite a bit across societies.

Problems with iron levels in the blood and the body’s ability to regulate this important nutrient as a result of SARS-CoV-2 infection could be a key trigger for long COVID, new research has discovered.

McGill researchers find evidence that partially replacing red and processed meat with plant protein foods can increase lifespan and mitigate climate change.

Tiny magnetic particles in the air could be linked to the development of Alzheimer’s disease symptoms, a new study suggests.

According to new research, regularly substituting meat for mycoprotein such as Quorn is comparable to switching to a Mediterranean or vegan diet and could help lower bad cholesterol by 10 percent.

In 2015, Cyclone Pam touched down on the island of Tanna as the strongest Pacific island cyclone in history at the time. A new study has documented the recovery of the island and has shown that forests previously subject to grazing by cattle and pigs were slower to recover.

Galvanized steel containers and surfaces are used for harvested produce because of their durability and strength. However, bacteria residing in storage containers can cause corrosion. Researchers have now developed a two-step coating solution that is more hygienic and reduces the risk of corrosion.

In high-risk groups, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) can trigger aggressive cancers. Research has shown how KSHV drives cell metabolism and proliferation. Inhibiting this process can block lymphoma progression and shrink existing tumors in preclinical models.

A new study finds precancerous colon cells turn on a gene called SOX17, which helps them evade detection and develop into more advanced tumors.
