Climate change is causing extinctions at an increasing rate, a new study on the Yarrow's spiny lizard by researchers at the University of Arizona shows.

Scientists have long recognized the fact that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) comes exclusively from egg cells in humans. In a new study, researchers have discovered that while mature sperm do carry a small number of mitochondria, they lack intact mtDNA.

Spice, the synthetic cannabinoid, can be fatal and often causes severe side effects. Researchers have now developed a device that lights up in the presence of illegal drugs and is expected to be cleared for rollout across the UK over the next few months.

Researchers have discovered a protein in fruit flies, called Iditarod, that is important for both autophagy and the upregulation of thermogenic processes.

AI and machine learning have been used to effectively detect and diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome, the most common hormone disorder in women.

Weight loss diets often shun nuts due to their high fat content, but a new study has shown that including almonds in a restrictive diet help people lose weight and improve their cardiometabolic health.

Human actions are wiping out vertebrate animal species hundreds of times faster than they would otherwise disappear. Researchers are calling for immediate political, economic and social action on unprecedented scales to prevent further extinctions.

It takes over the brains of ants, causing them to cling to the tops of blades of grass where they can be eaten by cattle and deer. The common liver fluke has an exceptional life cycle. Now, researchers know a bit more about the workings of this tiny parasite.

In a new study into the genetic variants associated with the development of schizophrenia, researchers used a genetic sequencing technique that can parse which variants trigger gene expression and which ones do not.
