As the Trump administration continues to make significant cuts to NIH budgets and personnel and to freeze billions of dollars of funding to major research universities—citing ideological concerns—there’s more being threatened than just progress in scie…
Tim Friede has survived hundreds of snakebites—on purpose. For nearly two decades, he let some of the world’s most dangerous snakes sink their fangs into his arms, all for science.
Chemotherapy is one of the most popular ways to treat breast cancer. Even though it has proven to be effective, it also has downsides, such as a higher risk of side effects, as it doesn’t only attack the cancer cells but can also affect normal cells. C…
University of Manchester scientists have successfully pioneered a way to create functioning human spinal disks, aiming to revolutionize our understanding of back pain and disk degeneration in a leap for medical science.
Prof Eliane Candiani Arantes heads the Laboratory of Animal Toxins at the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Ribeirao Preto, University of São Paulo (USP) where her group is working with toxins found in the venom of the Crotalus durissus terrificus r…
Acetaminophen is the most frequently taken fever and pain medication worldwide, but overdosing can be toxic to liver cells. In the United States, about 1,600 cases of acute liver failure and 500 deaths occur each year due to acetaminophen overuse and l…
A vitamin supplement that improves metabolism in the eye appears to slow down damage to the optic nerve in glaucoma. The promising results have been published in the journal Cell Reports Medicine. The researchers behind the study have now started a cli…
In a randomized clinical trial with 30 female participants, neither cold- nor hot-water immersion improved recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage. Vanessa Wellauer and colleagues at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerl…
