Experimenting in mice, the researchers tracked a series of events that enable a small reservoir of treatment-resistant cancer cells to awake from dormancy, grow and spread.

A new study examined APS at the cellular level and found that two drugs reduced development of blood clots in mice affected with the condition.

Researchers have identified what keeps some cancer cells dormant -- a finding which could uncover new approaches to preventing the spread of cancer.

New findings about an aggressive form of leukemia could aid the development of novel drugs to treat the condition.

By injecting cells that support blood vessel growth into muscles depleted by inactivity, researchers say they are able to help restore muscle mass lost as a result of immobility.

Communicable diseases including dengue continue to be major causes of morbidity and mortality in the Philippines. Now, researchers have reviewed 60 years of published literature on dengue in the country to identify trend...

Biologists have developed a computational model of flatworm regeneration to answer an important question in regeneration research - what are the signals that determine the rebuilding of specific anatomical structures? Th...

Doctors use novel software to increase quality assurance in radiation therapy. This allows radiation oncologists to assess targeting and dosing of radiation in real time as treatment progresses.

Extended periods of limb immobilization -- whether from long-term bed rest, casting, spaceflight, or other circumstances -- can reduce skeletal muscle mass and strength to the extent that recovery is delayed or never ach...

A new study identifies insulin as a primary signal that helps communicate the timing of meals to the cellular clocks located across our body, commonly known as the body clock.

Overeating has been found to impair blood sugar (glucose) control and insulin levels. A new study suggests that the duration of a bout of overeating can affect how the body adapts glucose and insulin processing when calo...

New findings indicate that oral biomarkers may help health providers identify victims of domestic violence.

Researchers tested to see if arsenic trioxide (ATO) was effective in combination with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) in in both the mouse model of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and in human AML cells in the lab, and deter...

An AI made by Google has written mathematical proofs for more than 1200 theorems and may one day go on to tackle problems mathematicians don't know how to solve

The boat, named the Tara, has given scientists an unprecedented, detailed map of viruses in the marine ecosystem.

Particles travelling through empty space can emit bright flashes of gamma rays by interacting with the quantum vacuum, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Strathclyde.

A groundbreaking search for Hawking's ancient black holes comes back empty-handed.

Physicists thought this was impossible, until now.

An estimated 169 million children worldwide have missed out on getting the first dose of a measles vaccine, including more than half a million in the UK

A rapid memory system transition from the hippocampus to the posterior parietal cortex is stabilized as we sleep. Sleep and repeated rehearsal of memory jointly contribute to long-term memory consolidation.

Scientists find surprising way to affect information storage properties in metal alloy.

Over the past three decades, extreme winds and waves have increased globally, worsening the risk of flooding in coastal communities during storms
