A fast-aging fish is giving scientists a rare, accelerated look at how kidneys grow old--and how a common drug may slow that process down. Researchers found that SGLT2 inhibitors, widely used to treat diabetes and heart disease, preserved kidney ...

A new imaging technology called fast-RSOM lets researchers see the smallest blood vessels in the body without invasive procedures. It can detect early dysfunction in these vessels -- a quiet warning sign of future heart disease -- long before ...

Two decades after a breast cancer vaccine trial, every participant is still alive--an astonishing result for metastatic disease. Scientists found their immune systems retained long-lasting memory cells primed to recognize cancer. By enhancing a key . ...

Scientists at Mount Sinai have unveiled a bold new way to fight metastatic cancer by turning the tumor's own defenses against it. Instead of attacking cancer cells head-on, the experimental immunotherapy targets macrophages--immune cells that tumors ...

Order doesn't always form perfectly--and those imperfections can be surprisingly powerful. In materials like liquid crystals, tiny "defects" emerge when symmetry breaks, shaping everything from cosmic structures to everyday technologies. Now, ...

Collagen pills sound like a shortcut to younger skin, but solid evidence doesn't back them up. Higher-quality studies show little benefit, and your body doesn't absorb collagen in the way ads suggest. Some supplements may even pose safety concerns .. ...

An experimental drug once known for helping control type 2 diabetes may also fight heart disease. Researchers found IC7Fc lowered cholesterol, blood fats, and artery-clogging plaques while calming inflammation linked to heart attacks and strokes. ...

Scientists in Sweden and Norway have uncovered a promising way to spot Parkinson's disease years--possibly decades--before its most damaging symptoms appear. By detecting subtle biological signals in the blood tied to how cells handle stress and ...

Scientists studying ancient ocean fossils found that the Arabian Sea was better oxygenated 16 million years ago, even though the planet was warmer than today. Oxygen levels only plunged millions of years later, after the climate cooled, defying ...

Quantum computers need extreme cold to work, but the very systems that keep them cold also create noise that can destroy fragile quantum information. Scientists in Sweden have now flipped that problem on its head by building a tiny quantum ...
