Difenoconazole, a common fungicide in farming, often ends up in rivers and streams. This can be bad news for fish. A recent study took a close look at how this chemical affects a type of fish called Pethia conchonius, found in the Teesta River. The study found that even small amounts of difenoconaz
Heart disease is a big deal. It's one of the leading causes of death worldwide. But what if we could use our genes to predict who is at risk? That's where polygenic risk scores (PRS) come in. These scores look at many genes to see if someone might be more likely to develop coronary artery disease (C
Parkinson's disease is a condition that affects the brain. It is known for causing movement problems.
