Screening for psychological distress can significantly reduce cardiovascular disease risk and improve quality of life.
Anew study led by Yale researchers has found that a common genetic variant that occurs in nearly 20% of individuals influences both susceptibility to COVID-19 and the development of severe disease.
A team of Yale researchers has found that Republican voters in two U.S. states had more excess deaths than Democratic voters after vaccines for COVID-19 became widely available to counter the disease. The discrepancy didn’t exist prior to the vaccines.

Recreating conditions that may have existed before the dawn of life, researchers watched droplets give rise to possible precursors of today’s proteins.
When a threat is looming and an escape route is open, one would expect any animal to flee imminent danger.
The mucus in the human body is much more than mere slime.
An interdisciplinary research team led by UCLA found that a drug already approved by the Food and Drug Administration for eye disease, verteporfin, stopped the replication of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
For people living with HIV, sticking to a prescribed medication regimen is a critical part of staying healthy.

Like many of the world’s best and worst ideas, MIT researchers’ plan to combat AI-generated deepfakes was hatched when one of their number watched their favorite not-news news show.
Here’s another paper with a reaction that would have looked like magic to me back when I first learned organic synthesis. The Wendtland group at MIT details a way to change tertiary carbon stereochemistries, flipping them/scrambling them through the use of a photochemical decatungstate-catalyzed radical reaction.
Your voice could help doctors diagnose everything from cancer to Alzheimer’s disease to depression.
It's called a neural acoustic field model, and it can also consider what noises would sound like as you traveled through virtual reality.

Wildfires are a major source of air pollution. They are also predicted to worsen as climate change progresses.
There’s new hope for the future treatment of some leukodystrophies, neurodegenerative diseases in young children that progressively affect their quality of life, often leading to death before adulthood.
The type of virus used as a model to study the efficacy of non-neutralizing antibodies against the virus responsible for AIDS has a crucial role to play, according to a new study led by Andrés Finzi, Université de Montréal professor and researcher at the CHUM Research Centre.
