Researchers have designed an antibody that can recognise specific proteins on the surface of aged cells.

Viruses have gotten a bad rap for the many illnesses and pandemics they’ve caused. But viruses are also genetic innovators – and possibly the pioneers of using DNA as the genetic blueprint of life.

COVID-19 transmission from so-called “breakthrough infections” may be significantly lower than was earlier suggested. Experts say that they have looked at multiple studies on vaccinated people who’ve developed COVID-19 and have come to the conclusion that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance on transmission from breakthrough cases may have been overstated.

The mechanisms we use to sense quantity are located in our pupils. This is the result of a study conducted by the School of Psychology of the University of Sydney, in collaboration with the Universities of Pisa and Florence (Italy), recently published in Nature Communications.

Most parents will be very familiar with the concept of separation anxiety. It’s hardly rare for babies and toddlers to become anxious when separated from a parent. But I have to confess, I hadn’t heard of Adult Separation Anxiety (ASA) until I came across this new paper in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology. For adults, it can manifest as extreme distress at being separated from a partner, or another loved one — even a pet. And it’s thought that 7% of people suffer from it at some point in their lifetimes.

Data from 170,000 semen analyses performed in the US between 2005 and 2021 reveals a worrying decline in sperm quality

Among their top-selling drugs, 76% of Pfizer's and 89% of J&J's were developed by other companies and account for nearly 90% of revenues.

Medical YouTuber Dr. Anthony Youn breaks down the findings of the study in a new video.

The long read: Archaeological discoveries are shattering scholars’ long-held beliefs about how the earliest humans organised their societies – and hint at possibilities for our own

For most of the time since the first description of multiple sclerosis (MS) in 1868, the causes of this disabling disease have remained uncertain. Genes have been identified as important, which is why having other family members with MS is associated

E-cigarette use did not help smokers stay off cigarettes and may increase smokers' chances of relapse, according to a study by University of California San Diego Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science, and UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center.

Plankton also play an important role in removing CO2 from the atmosphere – and this could be threatened as our warming world drives plankton towards the poles.

2021's mountain of waste didn't grow out of nowhere.

One of the most challenging questions to answer when confronting the Fermi Paradox is why exponentially scaling technologies haven’t taken over the universe by now.  Commonly known as von Neumann probes, the idea of a self-replicating swarm of extraterrestrial robots has been a staple of science fiction for decades.  But so far, there has never been any evidence of their existence outside the realm of fiction.

Looking past conventional histories of medicine we see that women delivered much of medieval healthcare. Just as today

Whistler mode chorus waves are electromagnetic emissions common in planetary magnetospheres. Among other impacts, their scattering of magnetospheric electrons is one driver for the formation of auroras. An important attribute of these waves is frequency chirping, in which the frequency of the emission rises or falls nearly monotonically with time.

Exposure to a common class of chemicals called phthalates was linked to premature deaths, especially deaths caused by heart disease, a new study published on Tuesday in Environmental Pollution found. The man-made chemicals are found in hundreds of consumer products, including food-storage containers, shampoo, makeup, perfume, and children's toys.

The photovoltaic effect of ferroelectric crystals can grow by creating crystalline layers of barium titanate, strontium titanate and calcium titanate.

New data suggests that lots of time on screens may even improve peer relationships. But the study comes with caveats.

Exploratory research using an accepted, yet experimental, model of Parkinson’s disease found that CBD isolate may improve the symptoms associated with the condition. It also discovered it is potentially neuroprotective which could decrease disease progression. CBD isolate from cannabis Sativa L aerial parts, Bod MediCabilis™100 CBD Isolate, was given to animal test subjects for 28 days.
