Stanford scientists have uncovered how mRNA COVID-19 vaccines can very rarely trigger heart inflammation in young men -- and how that risk might be reduced. They found that the vaccines can spark a two-step immune reaction that floods the body with . ...

UBC Okanagan researchers have uncovered how plants create mitraphylline, a rare natural compound linked to anti-cancer effects. By identifying two key enzymes that shape and twist molecules into their final form, the team solved a puzzle that had ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone emergency fix that helps them survive. Some cancer ...

Vitamin C doesn't just belong in skincare products--it works even better when you eat it. Scientists discovered that vitamin C from food travels through the bloodstream into every layer of the skin, boosting collagen and skin renewal. People who ate ...

Everyday sights and sounds quietly shape the choices people make, often without them realizing it. New research suggests that some individuals become especially influenced by these environmental cues, relying on them heavily when deciding what to do. ...

Scientists discovered that common food emulsifiers consumed by mother mice altered their offspring's gut microbiome from the very first weeks of life. These changes interfered with normal immune system training, leading to long-term inflammation. As ...

A new study suggests temporal lobe epilepsy may be linked to early aging of certain brain cells. When researchers removed these aging cells in mice, seizures dropped, memory improved, and some animals avoided epilepsy altogether. The treatment used . ...

Tramadol, a popular opioid often seen as a "safer" painkiller, may not live up to its reputation. A large analysis of clinical trials found that while it does reduce chronic pain, the relief is modest--so small that many patients likely wouldn't ...

A new study suggests that dementia may be driven in part by faulty blood flow in the brain. Researchers found that losing a key lipid causes blood vessels to become overactive, disrupting circulation and starving brain tissue. When the missing ...

Alzheimer's has long been considered irreversible, but new research challenges that assumption. Scientists discovered that severe drops in the brain's energy supply help drive the disease--and restoring that balance can reverse damage, even in ...
