People who have had cancer often experience ongoing pain, but a new study reveals that being physically active may help lessen its intensity.

A new Northwestern Medicine study has found the immune system in the blood of Alzheimer’s patients is epigenetically altered. That means the patients’ behavior or environment has caused changes that affect the way their genes work.

A new layer of human gene regulation, in the form of a molecular process called "backtracking", has been discovered that may influence basic life processes like cell division.

A new laboratory method can detect the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), more commonly known as "forever chemicals," in a matter of minutes.

In a new study, published in Scientific Reports, researchers from Kyoto University explored the role of nicotine on weight management through host metabolism and gut microbial metabolites.

An interdisciplinary team of researchers investigated how cell cycle flexibility allows tumor cells to escape the effect of anti-cancer drugs that target cell division.

Brain images from thousands of people worldwide have been used to create a machine learning-based classifier that could aid early psychosis diagnosis.

A new study by researchers at University of Limerick has demonstrated the impact resistance exercise training can have in the treatment of anxiety and depressive symptoms.
