Purported benefits include reduced blood pressure and 'detoxification.' A doctor weighs in on the claims and explains the research.

Genetic analysis of the giant woolly mammoth reveals a surprising amount of genetic diversity over a million years.

Scientists are looking for answers about how these confounding trips, known as metastases, occur throughout the human body

Theobroma cacao is the most economically important species within the genus Theobroma. Despite its importance, the intraspecific relationships of this species has not been fully elucidated due to insufficient molecular information. To facilitate a better understanding of the intraspecific evolutionary relationships of T. cacao, Sequencing technology has been to decode the plastid genomes, with the objective of…

Radiation from space affects the brain, bones and genes. These two astronauts will soon begin their recovery

Evolution has equipped us with a triage mechanism (from the French verb 'trier' meaning to sort out): When there is a deficiency of micronutrients in our bodies, they are reserved for short-term survival and reproduction at the expense of disabling DNA repair, which increases the risk of developing chronic disease in the long-term.

An expert panel defined smoldering-associated worsening in MS, proposing a unique pathology and optimal clinical and research strategies. But one expert questioned the smoldering concept's validity.

They can survive doses 1,000 times higher than we can.

Frequent use of high-potency cannabis leaves unique molecular marks on DNA, particularly affecting genes related to energy and immune function.

Sperm exhibit an immune response that is common to macrophages and neutrophils, according to Brazilian researchers.

Panelists acknowledge difficulty generating stronger data in ultra-rare disease

The possibility that National Institute on Aging neuroscience chief Eliezer Masliah doctored images in scientific writings for decades is likely to provoke anxiety among multiple drug companies. The concerns recently documented in a dossier on more than 100 of his papers most directly challenge an experimental Parkinson's disease therapy developed by Prothena (see main story, p. 1406). But 238 active patents…

Agency announces research misconduct finding for neuroscientist Eliezer Masliah as scores of his papers fall under suspicion

Biobots are tiny, multicellular robots powered by living cells to perform tasks, and they're a third state between life and death. The post Biobots are a 3rd state between life and death first appeared on EarthSky.

Cells are highly controlled spaces that rely on every protein being in the right place. Many diseases, including cancers and neurodegenerative disorders, are associated with misplaced proteins. In some cancers, for instance, a protein that normally stands watch over DNA replicating in the nucleus is sent far from the DNA it is meant to monitor, allowing cancers to grow.
