Tuberculosis stands as one of the leading causes of death among young people across the world.
In 2015, at the end of the Ebola crisis, Liberia had just 80 physicians providing care for a population of over four million, one of the lowest physician-to-population ratios worldwide.
Yale researchers uncovered a novel mechanism by which “good” bacteria colonize the gut. The finding could help spur the development of new probiotic therapies.
UCLA researchers have identified and analyzed the steps by which immune cells “see” and respond to cancer cells, providing insights into reasons some treatments may be effective for certain patients but not others.
In some children, pediatric acute myeloid leukemia can become resistant to treatment; UC San Diego researchers think they now know why.
Researchers find that learning and culture are needed for one of the most intricate forms of communication known outside humans
Scripps Oceanography alumnus and colleagues describe the sample's importance in understanding past dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheet and its ecosystems
Bones that are separate in small jerboas are fully fused in large ones, but the bone structures that are best at dissipating the stresses of jumping are only partially fused
New technique could enable processing speeds a million to a billion times faster than today's computers and spur progress in many-body physics
For many people, a high-sugar diet has become almost accidental.
In a rare disease called mucolipidosis type II, people’s hearts and abdomens swell, and their bones grow malformed.
How can we boost the resilience of the world’s coral reefs, which are imperiled by multiple stresses including mass bleaching events linked to climate warming?
UVA Health Cancer Center researchers have developed an algorithm that will improve cancer care by quickly and easily identifying patients who will benefit from powerful cancer drugs called kinase inhibitors.
A new study has revealed significant racial disparities in how quickly minorities with the most common form of lung cancer receive potentially lifesaving radiation therapy compared with their white counterparts.
UVA Health researchers have discovered a molecule in the brain responsible for orchestrating the immune system’s responses to Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis (MS), potentially allowing doctors to supercharge the body’s ability to fight those and other devastating neurological diseases.
School of Medicine researchers have identified a key contributor to high blood pressure that could lead to new treatments for a condition which affects almost half of American adults.
Newly discovered biological changes in mothers who suffer postpartum depression may help explain the condition, yield long-sought treatments and let doctors identify those at risk even before their babies are born.
A pivotal new study has shown that a market-led approach could be key to ensuring governments and businesses are properly informed about their exposure to future climate risks.
Trans employees who are transitioning in the workplace go through a complex process of ‘endless becoming’, according to a new study.
