A newly identified cancer pathway may finally reveal how to stop pancreatic tumors before they spread. A Cornell-led research effort has uncovered how a highly aggressive type of pancreatic cancer is able to enter the bloodstream, addressing a long-standing q…
A recipient of a kidney transplant presented a medical mystery when he died from rabies in January 2025 only weeks after his surgery in an Ohio hospital, despite having had no documented contact with the disease.
A horse was euthanized in Lancaster County last month after testing positive for equine herpesvirus, an infectious disease that can be fatal for domestic horses.
For many people, the holidays mean more parties and more occasions to drink. But if you've noticed that one cocktail hits you harder than it used to, there's a scientific reason to explain it.
The National Kidney Foundation states that millions of people are suffering from kidney diseases and mostly because of irregular lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits. It is said that the kidneys are vital organs that play a crucial role in maintaining overal…
Dogs love every little thing they own. Once they fall in love with something, there is no way they would ever leave it. The same can be seen in this clip...
Human biology evolved for a world of movement, nature, and short bursts of stress—not the constant pressure of modern life. Industrial environments overstimulate our stress systems and erode both health and reproduction. Evidence ranging from global fertility…
Children who spend a significant amount of time on social media tend to experience a gradual decline in their ability to concentrate. This is according to a comprehensive study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Pediatrics Open Science, where researcher…
Scientists looking to tackle our ongoing obesity crisis have made an important discovery: Intermittent calorie restriction leads to significant changes both in the gut and the brain, which may open up new options for maintaining a healthy weight.
Shingles vaccine may help prevent or slow dementia. An unusual public health policy in Wales may offer the strongest evidence so far that a vaccine can lower dementia risk. In a new study led by Stanford Medicine, researchers examined medical records from old…
(CNN) — It was a pain worse than childbirth, said a TikTok mom as she described bouts of uncontrollable vomiting after marijuana use. “I was crying and screaming and I was like ‘I can’t take this anymore!’ I hate my life,” she said. “I’m just begging God, lik…
Researchers have developed a new oral drug that boosts metabolic activity in muscle rather than altering appetite like GLP-1 drugs. Early trials suggest it improves blood sugar control and fat metabolism while preserving muscle mass, with fewer side effects. …
UCLA study finds married people with strong emotional support weigh less, with differences in brain activity, gut bacteria, and oxytocin levels explaining why.
Though its route through Central Asia remains elusive, two German researchers believe they have discovered how — and why — the plague made it to Medieval Europe.
The Hubble Space Telescope and the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer have captured fresh images of an interstellar comet as the object nears its closest approach to Earth later this month.
Legend once had it that the huge, three-toed footprints scattered across the central highlands of Bolivia came from supernaturally strong monsters — capable of sinking their claws even into solid rock
A new study led by researchers at the University of Ottawa provides a series of highly detailed 3D models of the Earth's temperature beneath Greenland and northeastern Canada, providing insights into the region's geological history and the response of the ice…
For decades, nuclear physicists believed that "Islands of Inversion"—regions where the normal rules of nuclear structure suddenly break down—were found mostly in neutron-rich isotopes. In these unusual pockets of the nuclear chart, magic numbers disappear, sp…
You may be surprised to learn that despite our cold start to the month, the Arctic is a different story. While we have been seeing temperatures average about 10 degrees below normal over the past week to 10 days, the Arctic has been well above normal.
Reliably quantifying and characterizing the quantum states of various systems is highly advantageous for both quantum physics research and the development of quantum technologies. Quantifying these states typically entails performing several measurements and …
Scientists hunted dark matter and solar neutrinos with one of the largest experiments yet. While the neutrinos likely appeared, dark matter results couldn't be confirmed.
