Researchers have, for the first time, estimated how quickly E. coli bacteria can spread between people -- and one strain moves as fast as swine flu. Using genomic data from the UK and Norway, scientists modeled bacterial transmission rates and ...

Scientists at Mizzou have identified two small molecules, agmatine and thiamine, that could both reveal and fight glaucoma. Their research shows these compounds are lower in glaucoma patients, suggesting they may serve as early warning markers. Even ...

A new compound called CMX410 may change the fight against tuberculosis. It targets a weak point in the bacteria's defenses, even in drug-resistant forms of the disease. Created using a cutting-edge chemistry method, the drug shows promise for being . ...

Walking a few thousand steps daily may help hold off Alzheimer's for years, a Mass General Brigham study found. Even moderate physical activity slowed both cognitive decline and the buildup of harmful tau proteins in the brain. The researchers say .. ...

A collaboration between Brazilian and German researchers has led to a sunflower-based meat substitute that's high in protein and minerals. The new ingredient, made from refined sunflower flour, delivers excellent nutritional value and a mild flavor. ...

Researchers at MIT's Picower Institute found that rotating waves of brain activity help restore focus after distractions. In animal tests, these rotations predicted performance: full rotations meant full recovery, while incomplete ones led to errors. ...

Researchers have discovered a specific set of neurons in the amygdala that can trigger anxiety and social deficits when overactive. By restoring the excitability balance in this brain region, they successfully reversed these symptoms in mice. The ...

Using powerful 7-Tesla brain imaging, researchers mapped how the brainstem manages pain differently across the body. They discovered that distinct regions activate for facial versus limb pain, showing the brain's built-in precision pain control ...

Long-term melatonin use for sleep problems may come with unexpected heart dangers. Researchers found that chronic users were almost twice as likely to die and 3.5 times more likely to be hospitalized for heart failure. Though melatonin is widely ...

Researchers at McMaster University have discovered that the eyes may offer a powerful, non-invasive way to assess heart health and biological aging. By analyzing retinal scans alongside genetic and blood data from over 74,000 participants, they found ...
