Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the Medical College of Wisconsin have discovered how chemokines and G protein-coupled receptors selectively bind each other to control how cells move.
Engineering students from The University of Alabama Huntsville (UAH) suffered a failure of the support system for the left rear wheel during their competition on April 11, 2025, while competing in the NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge (HERC).It’s often said that one of the hardest things to accomplish in team competitions is a “three-peat” – winning three championships in a row.
Southfield, Mich., April 23, 2025 – For many cancer patients, side effects from radiation can be debilitating. But a new way of delivering radiation treatment has proven effective at eliminating......
Un nuevo estudio de Mayo Clinic descubrió que las personas con síndrome de Tourette poseen aproximadamente la mitad de un tipo específico de célula cerebral responsable de calmar los signos de movimiento hiperactivo, en comparación con las personas sin la condición. Este déficit puede ser una razón crucial por la cual las señales motoras no se controlan adecuadamente, lo que lleva a los tics involuntarios que caracterizan el trastorno.
Researchers at Mayo Clinic's Center for Individualized Medicine have discovered a rare genetic variant that can directly cause metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, formerly known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
Led by UNC School of Medicine’s Weili Lin, PhD, researchers document cognitive milestones revealed in children from birth to toddlerhood in brain imaging study.

The Medical Student Empowerment Fund was established in 2022 through the generosity of an El Paso family. This initiative ensures that promising medical students can pursue their education without financial strain. The program has supported 22 recipients across four classes of medical school.
The molecular mechanism behind why heart attacks can vary in severity depending on the time of day has been uncovered by researchers at UTHealth Houston, potentially paving the way for innovative treatments that align with the natural circadian rhythm.
An international team led by the University of California San Diego has identified a potential microbial culprit behind the alarming rise in early-onset colorectal cancer: a bacterial toxin called colibactin.
A team of researchers has used advanced DNA sequencing to develop the most comprehensive atlas yet of genetic change through generations, laying the foundations for new insights into the roots of human disease and evolution.

Kimryn Rathmell, MD, PhD, former director of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), has accepted the role as CEO of The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James). Pending approval by the university Board of Trustees, Rathmell will start on May 27.
Do you know what's in your water? Yuxin Wang from Binghamton University, State University of New York studies contaminants in water called PFAS, more commonly known as "forever chemicals."
In celebration of the Hubble Space Telescope’s 35 years in Earth orbit, NASA is releasing today an assortment of compelling images recently take by Hubble, stretching from the planet Mars to spectacular star forming regions, to a magnificent neighboring galaxy. After over three decades of perusing the restless universe, Hubble remains a household word as the most well-recognized telescope in scientific history. The Hubble mission is a glowing success story of America’s technological prowess and unyielding scientific curiosity, and a reiteration of our nation’s pioneering spirit.
Perched above Earth’s blurry atmosphere, Hubble’s crystal-clear views have been nothing less than transformative for the public’s perception of the cosmos. Through its evocative imagery, Hubble has made astronomy relevant, engaging, and accessible for people of all ages. Among its long list of breakthroughs: Hubble’s deep field images unveiled myriad galaxies dating back to the early universe. The telescope
The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) is launching a nationwide strategic investment in the future of rural education called Smithsonian Scientists Taking Astronomy to Rural Schools (STARS). The Smithsonian STARS program will equip schools with a donated telescope, accessories such as solar lenses, ongoing teacher training, and aligned astronomy lessons designed to inspire curiosity and strengthen science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education for the nation’s approximately 9.8 million rural schoolchildren.
In a new report released today, American Cancer Society (ACS) researchers discovered mixed progress in major cancer risk factors, preventive behaviors, and screenings in the post-COVID-19 pandemic period among adults in the United States. Smoking rates continued a long-term declining trend during the COVID-19 pandemic, but 27 million adults still smoked in 2023. Breast and colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rebounded after decreasing or stalling during the pandemic.
