Doctors have long battled the side effects that come with typical cancer treatments. Strong drugs meant for tumors often harm healthy cells along the way, making recovery harder. A fresh approach uses X-rays, the same rays used in scans, to switch on a specialized treatment inside the body. Tiny del
A long-term study in Brazil tracked over a thousand older adults to see how their daily lives connected to their safety. Researchers checked in three times over a decade, asking about their work, social habits, and support systems. The focus wasn’t just on physical harm but on how vulnerable they fe
Heat can be tough on living things. For tiny blue-green algae, called cyanobacteria, too much sun and warmth can damage their cells and slow down their growth. But scientists noticed something interesting in a lab—a group of these algae adapted over time to handle tough conditions. After weeks of ex
Spring brings warmer days and longer nights, but it also opens a door for petty thieves. The first hint that crime is on the rise comes when people start opening windows, leaving cars unlocked and garages ajar. These small slips give easy targets to opportunists who walk down streets in the earl
Every day, tiny amounts of man-made chemicals slip into water and soil, slowly building up in our bodies. These substances, called PFAS, are found in everything from food wrappers to firefighting foam. Scientists recently focused on one specific PFAS called OBS and its surprising effect on the kidne
Some people struggle with extra weight that just won’t go away, even with diet changes and exercise. Traditional treatments like pills or surgeries can help, but they come with risks or limits. Now, scientists are testing a gentler approach using light and special gels to reshape fat cells safely.
A new test can spot the bacteria that harms apples, pears and other related plants in just minutes. The method mixes a fast DNA‑amplifying step called recombinase polymerase amplification with a simple paper strip that shows results in the field. Scientists have noticed this pathogen in more than
The study looks back at how scientists have talked about kidney toxins over more than three decades. It tracks articles published from 1991 to 2024, showing how interest in these substances has risen. The work identifies which countries and institutions publish most papers, pointing out leadin
Doctors don't agree on when women should start regular mammograms. Some say 40, others say 45 or 50. Even the frequency is debated—yearly or every two years? This confusion comes from guidelines that focus on women with average risk, not considering that breast cancer isn’t just one disease. About
The Golden State Warriors just made their first big move by keeping Steve Kerr as coach for another year. Now, the real work begins. The team faces a tricky balancing act this offseason. Steph Curry’s contract is up soon, and he wants a longer deal to keep playing for the Warriors. But at 38, he’s t
