A Finnish twin study suggests that the deteriorative effects of cardiovascular risk factors on late-life cognition are stronger in individuals with lower education compared to those with higher education.
An international team of scientists, led by University of Helsinki, reported the first evidence that “mitophagy” – recycling of damaged mitochondria – leads to human disease.
New study provides the first comprehensive and complimentary overview on the physical and functional interactions of the human transcription factors.
Using supercomputer simulations researchers have been able to create the most accurate simulation to date that depicts the evolution of the Local Universe from the Big Bang to the present-day.
The coronavirus pandemic has increased digital nomadism, which can bring about new forms of inequality in professional life.
Researchers at the University of Helsinki discovered how ovarian cancer hides from the body’s immune system. The findings will help develop novel precision therapies for ovarian cancer, a common and aggressive cancer type.
GeneRISK study shows that information about personal genetic risk for cardiovascular disease motivates individuals to take better care of their health. This is the first comprehensive study assessing the impact of overall disease risk information based on both genetic and traditional health factors on lifestyle.
Researchers at the University of Houston are using glow-in-the-dark materials to enhance and improve rapid COVID-19 home tests.
Study Suggests Health Disparities May Cause Those Living in Rural Areas to be More Neurotic, Less Open
Northern States Take the Lead
Media Meant to Inform Can Cause Skewed View of Increased Crime

Shipping Emissions, Humidity and Strong Sea Breeze Contribute to Hazy Conditions
State-of-the-art analysis of brain images from nearly 700 children has turned up surprisingly few links between white matter structure and reading ability.
Discovery shows for the first time that multiferroic properties can exist in a two-dimensional material; could lead to more efficient magnetic memory devices.
MIT neuroscientists have identified a population of neurons in the human brain that respond to singing but not other types of music.
A model’s ability to generalize is influenced by both the diversity of the data and the way the model is trained, researchers report.
The planet’s night side likely hosts iron clouds, titanium rain, and winds that dwarf Earth’s jetstream.
Fan Wang’s studies of how the brain controls pain may one day lead to new treatments that could help millions of people.
An international team of scientists led by Tomáš Pluskal from the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences (IOCB Prague) has introduced a new generation of software enabling scientists to analyse large volumes of data from mass spectrometry, a technique that separates chemicals by their weights. The open-source project MZmine provides a new window into the chemical space that surrounds us and lives within. The latest advances in MZmine 3 are now published in a Nature Biotechnology paper.
