Ukraine's kids are growing up too fast. They're not playing games or going to school like other children. Instead, they're learning about danger and war. The fields around their homes are not safe. They are filled with mines and bombs. The Russians put them there. The kids can't play outside like th
Kids' spit might be more useful than you think. Scientists are looking into how saliva can help us understand health. Inside spit, there are tiny molecules called volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. These come from different places, like breath, food, and even the air around us. The cool part? Thes
Heart conditions can mess with how blood moves around the body. One such condition is Fontan circulation. It's a special setup for people born with heart defects. Normally, the heart has four chambers, but in some cases, doctors create a Fontan circulation to help make up for missing parts. This cha
Ever wondered why heart attacks happen more in the morning? It's all about your body's internal clock, or circadian rhythm. This rhythm, controlled by a tiny part of the brain and other body clocks, affects how your heart works throughout the day. During sleep, your heart chills out, thanks to a cal
Heart problems are serious, and everyone should have the same chance to get help. But does where you live and how much money you have change that?

In Michigan, heart disease is a big deal. It's the top cause of death. But here's something not many people talk about: guns. Not just the guns themselves, but the stress they cause. A recent study dug into this. It looked at how often guns are used in crimes and how that affects heart health in dif
Scientists have been digging into a tiny protein called Low Molecular Mass Polypeptide-2 (LMM-2). This protein is found in human trophoblast cells, which are crucial for baby development in the womb. The big news is that LMM-2 is way more active in hydatidiform moles than in normal pregnancies. Hyda
In the heart of Kyiv, a shocking event unfolded. A high-ranking officer from Ukraine's Security Service, known as the SBU, was tragically killed in a public parking lot. The incident, captured on camera, showed an unknown attacker approaching the officer and opening fire before escaping. The SBU, s
Russia's actions in Ukraine have taken a grim turn, with reports of thousands of children being taken from their homes and sent to Russia. This isn't just about moving kids around; it's about changing who they are. Experts are saying this might be genocide, the worst kind of crime. The numbers are
Researchers dug into how certain markers in the blood might hint at heart trouble. They focused on two things: ferritin and glutathione peroxidase 4 (Gpx4), which are tied to a process called ferroptosis. This process is linked to cell damage and death. The study looked at 396 people with coronary
