This simple addition took my fitness to the next level.

Nine science-backed techniques to help you cope and find some calm in turbulent times.

I've driven myself crazy by thinking through counterfactuals. All I'm left with is what really happened.

U.S. doctors are getting the word out about how to spot a rare measles complication that had been a relic of the past: subacute sclerosing panencephalitis.
Crystalline silica, which is released into the air when workers cut and polish engineered stone for kitchen countertops, can scar human lungs beyond repair.

Younger colorectal cancer patients have abnormally stiff colon tissue that promotes tumor growth, pointing to biomechanical forces as a key factor in early-onset disease.

Neonatal sepsis caused by Escherichia coli is associated with reduced transfer of pathogen-specific maternal antibodies and, in a mouse model, can be prevented by maternal preconceptual colonization with probiotic E. coli.


Dogs can be weird. And typically their shenanigans are just personality quirks. In this case, that quirk was literally life-saving.

Imprinting by influenza viruses can cause a deleterious shift of nearly the entire memory recall response against key, conserved epitopes.

Taking meds for high blood pressure? A cardiologist reveals the side effects of the Rx losartan, red flags to watch for and one unexpected perk.

Marburgvirus glycoprotein binds to the endosomal receptor NPC1 in a distinct orientation with higher affinity compared with Ebola virus glycoprotein, accompanied by fusion-relevant rearrangements, enabling more efficient viral entry.

Individual supratentorial ependymoma tumour subgroups have two distinct progenitor-like cell states—neuroepithelial-like and embryonic-like—that are reminiscent of early human brain development and diverge in the extent of their neuronal or ependymal dif…

Marburgviruses (MBVs) cause severe haemorrhagic fever with higher fatality rates than Ebola virus (EBOV)1–4. Here we show that the MBV glycoprotein (GP) mediates viral entry more efficiently than EBOV GP. Using cryo-EM, we determined structures of MBV GP in three states: (1) unbound; (2) bound to it

When the digestive system fails to absorb fructose, the lingering sugar disrupts the gut microbiome. A recent study reveals this bacterial shift sparks low-grade, body-wide inflammation that can alter brain immune cells and increase anxiety.

A woman with cancer that spread to her liver is getting a second chance at life after receiving an organ transplant from a living donor.

If confirmed in people, the finding might lead to gut-targeted therapies that could reverse cognitive decline.

According to the findings of a study conducted in Indiana, these types of people have the potential to speed up cellular aging by roughly 1.5%.

Nearly half of all US adults have some form of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death nationwide. The Post spoke to a cardiologist who broke down three supplements that can boost heart health — and four others that may put it at risk.

People can be particularly picky when it comes to fish, but even restaurant workers don't want to eat one type. Find out which fish to avoid ordering.

Age-related microbiome changes increase medium-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria, driving GPR84-mediated myeloid inflammation, impaired vagal signalling and hippocampal dysfunction; targeting this gut–brain pathway restores memory in aged mice.

The actor said that one particular symptom stood out to him for a long period of time

The team used AI to analyze the amount of calcium deposit in the arteries of the breast tissue, known to be a risk factor for heart disease.
