Pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 and pneumococcus can cause severe pneumonia. If the airways then fill with fluid, the patient risks developing acute respiratory distress syndrome.
After an intrepid, decade-long search, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found a new role for a pair of enzymes that regulate genome function and, when missing or mutated, are linked to diseases such as brain tumors, blood cancers and Kleefstra syndrome a rare genetic, neurocog
Two weeks of eating a diet heavy in tomatoes increased the diversity of gut microbes and altered gut bacteria toward a more favourable profile in young pigs, researchers have found.
High-calorie foods--high in fat, oil, and sugar--may taste delicious, but they frequently lead to overeating, which leads to obesity and other serious health concerns. But what causes the brain to be aroused and cause overeating?

Researchers have now discovered that a receptor involved in our sensation of touch and warmth is present in our colon, opening up a potential therapeutic target for the management of chronic pain brought on by gastrointestinal conditions like irritable bowel syndrome.
An international team of scientists led by Lucile Turc, an Academy Research Fellow at the University of Helsinki and supported by the International Space Science Institute in Bern has studied the propagation of electromagnetic waves in near-Earth space for three years. The team has studied t
Researchers concluded that PTSD, TBI, and a specific variant of the APOE gene showed strong associations with Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias (ADRD).
The researchers investigated the concentrations of aerosol particles and droplets emitted with the breath when breathing, speaking, singing and shouting, using measurements on 132 people of all ages.
