Inflammation covertly rewires the bone marrow, enabling mutated stem cells to rise and setting the stage for future blood disease.

A decades-old mix-up in a museum collection led scientists to mistakenly identify a Peruvian poison frog as a new species. Researchers at the Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum have ...

Alcohol’s cancer risk is shaped by a powerful mix of biology, behavior, and social factors—often in ways people don’t expect.

Although the precise mechanism isn’t yet known, factors like sex chromosomes and hormones, particularly the protective ...

About ten years ago, scientists began exploring an unconventional idea for studying the brain: using bioluminescent light to make neural activity visible. Instead of shining light onto the brain from ...

A new computational breakthrough is giving scientists a clearer view into how dark matter structures evolve. Dark matter has remained one of the biggest mysteries in cosmology for almost a hundred ...

Scientists have uncovered evidence that a newly identified niobium-rich deposit in central Australia formed during the early breakup of an ancient supercontinent.

“This is a paradigm shift,” says Donn Van Deren, PhD, postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, who ...

Scientists have uncovered new details explaining why iron oxide minerals are such effective long-term carbon traps in soils.

Oral bacteria that migrate to the gut can generate metabolites that reach the brain and accelerate Parkinson’s disease.

New research reveals organized networks linking paper mills, intermediaries, and compromised academic journals ...

A study in fruit flies suggests an internal genomic arms race may be driving rapid evolution in proteins that still perform an essential, unchanging job: protecting chromosome ends.
