Scientists have revealed that rates of future warming threaten marine life in more than 70% of the most biodiverse-rich areas of Earth’s oceans.

A new study has shown that a key genetic mutation that occurs early on in cancer alters RNA “dark matter” and causes the release of previously unknown RNA biomarkers.

Researchers have demonstrated how machine learning models can reveal interactions between a patient's gut microbiome and their response to immunotherapy, in findings that may ultimately improve cancer patient outcomes.

Restricting salt intake is considered a key component of heart failure treatment, but restricting it too much may actually worsen the outcomes for people with a common form of the condition, suggests research.

A team of researchers have shown how non-coding "junk" DNA can impair DNA replication and repair, potentially enabling mutations to accumulate, leading to cancer.
