Aging is not just about wrinkles and gray hair. It's a complex process that affects every part of our bodies at the molecular level. Scientists have been studying aging for years, but traditional methods only scratch the surface. That's where multiomics comes in. This approach combines data from var
Inside every cell, DNA is packed tightly, like a long, tangled thread. This packing is not random. It's crucial for how our genes work and how cells divide. Scientists have long debated how DNA folds up. Some think it's like a ball of yarn, while others believe it forms loops. Recent research has g
In a surprising turn of events, Sarepta Therapeutics has chosen to defy the FDA's request to stop distributing its gene therapy drug, Elevidys. This decision comes after three patient deaths linked to the treatment. The FDA has expressed serious concerns about the safety of the drug and has asked Sa
Doctors who aren't genetics experts might soon play a bigger role in genetic testing. Why? Because there's a huge need for these tests, but not enough geneticists to go around. This is making healthcare systems struggle to keep up. The idea is to train other doctors to handle some of these tests. T
The pancreas, a vital organ, varies in size and fat content among people. This variation is especially noticeable in those with diabetes. However, the reasons behind these differences are not fully understood. Race, genetics, and lifestyle choices might play a role. For instance, certain genetic ma
In the early hours of the morning, a car plowed into a group of people on Santa Monica Boulevard. The Los Angeles Fire Department reported that at least 20 individuals were hurt. Out of these, five are in very bad shape, and another ten are also seriously injured. This scary event took place around
Luminescence, or the ability to glow, isn't just for fireflies and light bulbs. It's also happening in some special chemicals called halogenated silanes. Scientists took a close look at five of these chemicals: HT, CT, IT, CS, and FS. They wanted to see how different halogens (like chlorine and iodi
Engines are getting a green makeover. Scientists have been testing different fuel mixes to make engines cleaner and more efficient. They tried six fuels: regular diesel, a biofuel called Citronella, and four blends that mix hydrogen with biofuel. The star of the show was the H40 blend, which had 40%
Food poisoning is a big problem worldwide. It's getting worse because bacteria are becoming resistant to treatments. Scientists are working hard to find better ways to detect these harmful bugs quickly and accurately. One promising solution involves a special tool called PfAgo. It's like a tiny, pr
iOS 26 is here, and it's bringing some cool new stuff, but not all iPhones will get the same treatment. Some features are only for the newer models. Let's break it down. First up, there's visual intelligence for screenshots. This handy tool can analyze what you capture, making it super useful for s
