Training harder may do more than build muscle--it could transform your gut. Researchers found that intense workouts change the balance of bacteria and important compounds in athletes' digestive systems. When training loads dropped, diet quality ...

A UCLA study in mice reveals that aging muscle stem cells accumulate a protein that slows repair but boosts survival. This protein, NDRG1, acts like a brake, preventing cells from activating quickly after injury. When researchers blocked it in older ...

Far beneath the Atlantic Ocean, about 1,000 kilometers off Portugal's coast, lies a colossal underwater canyon system that dwarfs even the Grand Canyon. Known as the King's Trough Complex, this 500-kilometer stretch of trenches and deep basins formed ...

A century after Erwin Schrödinger sketched out a bold vision for how we perceive color, scientists have finally filled in the missing pieces. A Los Alamos team used advanced geometry to show that hue, saturation, and lightness aren't shaped by ...

People whose sugar intake was restricted before birth and in early childhood had markedly lower rates of heart disease later in life. Compared to those never exposed to rationing, their risks of heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and cardiovascular ...

Scientists at Stanford Medicine have unveiled a bold new kind of "universal" vaccine that could one day protect against everything from COVID-19 and the flu to bacterial pneumonia and even common allergens. Instead of targeting a specific virus or .. ...

Babies born in the early 2000s were exposed in the womb to far more "forever chemicals" than researchers once realized, according to a new study. By using advanced chemical screening on umbilical cord blood, scientists detected 42 different PFAS ...

Scientists have created a blood test that can estimate when Alzheimer's symptoms are likely to begin. By measuring a protein called p-tau217, the model predicts symptom onset within roughly three to four years. The protein mirrors the silent buildup ...

Far beyond Neptune, in the frozen depths of the Kuiper Belt, many ancient objects oddly resemble giant snowmen made of ice and rock. For years, scientists wondered how these delicate two-lobed shapes could form without violent collisions tearing them ...

Cleaner wrasse have revealed a remarkable new side of fish intelligence. Marked with fake parasites, they used mirrors to inspect and remove the spots--far faster than seen in earlier tests. Even more striking, some fish dropped shrimp in front of .. ...
