A new discovery from the School of Medicine about how the microbes in our guts regulate the body’s biological clock could help us battle sleep disorders, combat jet lag, fight off foodborne illness and even improve chemotherapy outcomes.
As a graduate student in 2006, Sarah Lowe, PhD joined a group of researchers following low-income, unmarried mothers who were living in New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina struck the area the previous year.
A new scientific paper and other recent evidence offer important reassurances about the risk of breast cancer from hormone therapy to treat menopause symptoms, two School of Medicine menopause experts say.
Premenstrual mood swings and anxiety are so common – experienced by more than 64% of women– that they represent a “key public health issue globally,” according to a new UVA Health study.
Cardiovascular experts at UVA Health have found a new way to track peripheral artery disease (PAD), a serious medical condition involving atherosclerosis in the leg arteries that affects more than 200 million people worldwide.
A genomic test being developed by a Charlottesville company can predict a patient’s risk of developing severe COVID-19, new research from UVA Health suggests.
A new discovery from the University of Virginia School of Medicine could let doctors ramp up production of blood-clotting platelets on demand, a timely finding following the Red Cross’ declaration earlier this year of a national blood “crisis.”
School of Medicine researchers and their collaborators have solved a decades-old mystery about how E. coli and other bacteria are able to move.
You’re out jogging and suddenly notice a low-hanging tree branch in your path. You quickly lower your head, narrowly avoiding the branch, and continue on the run without giving it another thought.
Producing synthesis gas, a precursor of a variety of fuels and chemicals, no longer requires natural gas, coal or biomass
A natural small molecule derived from a cypress tree can transport iron in live mice and human cells that lack the protein that normally does the job,
Increasingly, domesticated herbivores, typically horses or cattle, are used in European rewilding projects to help restore missing or dysfunctional ecological processes.
New understanding of metal electrolysis could help optimize production of metals like lithium and iron.
Owners of dogs, cats, and other companion animals increasingly make use of the internet to find out how to best care for their animals.

Engineers have developed a glucose power source that could fuel miniature implants and sensors.
Following the successful development of vaccines against Covid-19, scientists hope to deploy mRNA-based therapies to combat many other diseases.
Researchers use artificial intelligence to help autonomous vehicles avoid idling at red lights.
In the past decade, optical sensing tasks have become more demanding. As a result, it has become critical to build miniaturized, inexpensive sensors that can be integrated on-chip to enable mobile applications in smart phones, autonomous vehicles, robots, and drones.
A new technique can safely guide an autonomous robot without knowledge of its environmental conditions or the size, shape, or location of obstacles it might encounter.
