Biologists know that animals that mature slowly tend to live longer, but they aren't sure why. A recent study of fruit flies by an Iowa State University research team sheds new light on the link between developmental timing ...

Long-read sequencing technologies analyze long, continuous stretches of DNA. These methods have the potential to improve researchers' ability to detect complex genetic alterations in cancer genomes. However, the complex structure ...

The liver has a unique structure, especially at the level of individual cells. Hepatocytes, the main liver cells, release bile into tiny channels called bile canaliculi, which drain into the bile duct in the liver periportal ...

A research team has developed a new class of compounds that effectively inhibit both wild-type CDK9 and its drug-resistant mutant form, offering a promising strategy for treating hematological malignancies.

A new study has found that depression is linked to an increased risk of dementia in both mid and later life.

A study led by University of Cincinnati Cancer Center researchers sheds new light on the mechanisms by which a major oncogene promotes and sustains lymphoma development and progression, paving the way for novel targeted therapies.

Cardiovascular diseases cause one death every 33 seconds in America. Diagnosing these conditions, which account for approximately 20% of all deaths annually, can be difficult because the overlaying and natural fluorescence ...

A dysfunction in muscle blood vessels could be to blame for the weak muscles and weight loss that most cancer patients experience, according to a new study from University of Illinois Chicago researchers.

Young and middle-aged adults who live with chronic loneliness may be at risk for early cognitive decline, according to a new study by researchers in the Penn State Department of Human Development and Family Studies.

Researchers have identified C5aR1 as a novel biomarker for metastasis risk and poor prognosis in patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), the most common type of metastatic skin cancer.

Over the past few decades, researchers have repeatedly identified loneliness as a significant risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, most of this research has focused on people in the United States ...

A research team from the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP), has published a study in the journal Scientific Reports proposing a method to correct selection biases in population-based cohorts. The study represents ...
