A study from Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine is the first to connect highly pathogenic avian influenza to a large scale mortality event in wild mammals.

The ingredients were chosen for their nutritional value, as well as how easy they’ll be to grow with the limited room and resources available on a spacecraft.

A woman who received a stem cell transplant to treat her HIV is still virus-free more than five years after the procedure and 30 months after she stopped taking HIV medication.

Venus appears to have volcanic activity, according to a new research paper that offers strong evidence to answer the lingering question about whether Earth's sister planet currently has eruptions and lava flows.

New research on inflammation could lead to better treatments to improve outcomes for people with advanced or previously untreatable cancers. 

60% of foods purchased by Americans contain technical food additives, which include colouring or flavouring agents, preservatives, and sweeteners.

Bees play a pivotal role in US agriculture but are dying at alarming rates.

Greenhouse gas has undergone rapid acceleration and scientists say it may be due to atmospheric changes

A new report published in Cell Reports Medicine has found that individuals who use assigned breathwork techniques experienced greater improvements in mood and lowered respiratory rates as compared to those practicing mindfulness meditation.

Researchers have mapped the more than 500,000 connections in the intricate brain of a fruit fly larva. This map, they say, could help scientists figure out how learning changes the human brain, too.

The James Webb Space Telescope was built by the international community to help humanity better understand the stars, but images captured during a recent space survey may have just made our understanding of the universe even more complicated.

The technique could pave the way to allowing two men to have children together

Warmer temperatures in the Arctic are thawing the region’s permafrost — a frozen layer of soil beneath the ground — and potentially stirring viruses that, after lying dormant for tens of thousands of years, could endanger animal and human health.

A Japanese researcher has told a major genetics conference that he has created eggs from the cells of male mice. The research, still in its early stages, involved turning male XY sex chromosomes into female XX ones.

The gene-editing tool is being tested in people, and the first treatment could be approved this year.

The idea that male mammals are larger than females has persisted for more than a century, but an analysis of body mass and length in 400 mammal species shows it isn’t the norm.

Vast releases of gas, along with future ‘methane bombs’, represent huge threat – but curbing emissions would rapidly reduce global heating

A detailed examination of gene activity in various organisms, including humans, reveals a new hallmark of the aging process

The clam was born the same years as Abraham Lincoln, and it was given a very apropos name.

Astronomers are slowly shining light on the dark objects hovering in a narrow part of the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. In a new study, researchers found that 10 well-known asteroids have features much like the belt’s largest object, the dwarf planet Ceres, including minerals on their surfaces that formed through reactions with liquid water. They estimate these Ceres-like asteroids formed just 1.5 million to 3.5 million years after our solar system's birth, which makes them important remnants of complex chemical and physical processes that occurred in the early solar nebula.
