Glitter from makeup, greetings cards and clothing gets everywhere – including our waterways, where it can hinder the growth of key organisms in the ecosystem.

A study in more than 15,000 people has found that physical fitness is linked with a lower likelihood of developing atrial fibrillation and stroke.

Researchers compared a pair of superficially similar motor neurons in fruit flies to examine how their differing use of the same genome produced distinctions in form and function.

In the largest study of its kind, researchers make progress in developing a digital biomarker that detects early signs of Alzheimer’s disease in brainwave patterns using a simple “wearable” headband at night.

Researchers investigated the prostate cancer drug proxalutamide using mouse models, showing that the drug reduced inflammation and reduced mortality.

Research reveals a promising breakthrough in green energy: an electrolyzer device capable of converting carbon dioxide into propane in a manner that is both scalable and economically viable.

In a new study, researchers looked at how the DNA damage recognition process seems to know the difference between harmful DNA breaks that need repair versus the natural ends of chromosomes, called telomeres, that need to be left alone.

Researchers have developed a new way to monitor the danger associated with algae blooms. The scientists found that certain combinations of volatile organic compounds released by algae can serve as indicator for microcystin.

Bark beetle use the volatile fungal metabolites of their symbiotic fungi as important chemical signals in their attack on trees.

For the first time, researchers have found a potential drug candidate that improved outcomes for patients with a type of childhood brain tumor for which there are no effective treatments. The compound nearly doubled survival.
