Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun discovered tiny snippets of genetic material, called microRNAs, that play a big role in making sure cells work as they should.
More than 30 microwave ovens were sampled in a range of different settings. The microbes in them included ones that can cause food poisoning in people.
Charged particles, or ions, constantly move in and out of cells. These migrations produce tiny electric currents, which power your brain, heart and more.
Here’s how the heart pumps blood to each and every cell of the body. It beats roughly 60 times every minute, starting before we’re born.
Electricity powers key functions in the brain, heart and bone. Scientists are working to understand those currents to improve our health and moods.
The active chemical in marijuana might have some medicinal value. But studies point to THC's potential risks, especially for teens.
These PFAS, which have been linked to health problems, show up in many products that we touch every day — including clothes and food packaging.
Their long-term safety is still an issue for kids. Meanwhile, a new vibrating robotic pill in early trials might offer an edible alternative to GLP-1s.
Research points to ways we can work to stay healthy, even in the face of germs.
