The immune system may play a fundamental role along with the central nervous system in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as ‘Lou Gehrig’s disease,’ researchers report.

Delivering a targeted immunotoxin into breast ducts via openings in the nipple wiped out all visible and invisible precancerous lesions in laboratory studies of very early stage breast cancers.

Biomarkers that could be targets for novel drugs to treat glioblastoma brain tumors have been identified, providing hope for a cancer that is highly lethal. This new finding provides early evidence that there may be a benefit in targeting specific alte…

Researchers have shown in a single model the full story of how gas travels in the center of the Milky Way — from being blown off by stars to falling into the black hole.

The research shows that four neighboring groups of bonobos they studied at the Kokolopori Bonobo Reserve in the Democratic Republic of Congo maintained exclusive and stable social and spatial borders between them, showing they are indeed part of distin…

New finding could lead to better drug treatments for chronic itch conditions, like eczema.

A political science professor argues that much of the official language around older motherhood is rooted in both ageism and ableism, as well as being out of step with current childbirth trends. The average age of childbirth has been rising steadily si…
