People often think of genetics as just about DNA, but math plays a huge role too. Over the last few decades, new math ideas have helped scientists understand our genes better. These advances are not just cool; they are changing how we study genes, evolution, and even crime scenes. One big area is f
When someone dies from hanging, figuring out if they died before or after being hung is super important. Usually, experts look at things like injuries, bruises, and the mark left by the rope. But there's a catch: no single sign can say for sure if the hanging caused the death or happened after. This
Anxiety is a common issue among young people, often starting in the teenage years. The body's own cannabis-like chemicals, called endocannabinoids, might play a big part in this. These chemicals, AEA and 2-AG, could help doctors understand anxiety better and improve treatments. Researchers studied
Scientists wanted to see how chemicals from building materials move through soil. They used both computer models and real-life experiments to figure this out. The computer models, like PELMO, are usually used for farming chemicals. But buildings are different from farms. So, the scientists had to ad
High triglyceride levels, or hypertriglyceridaemia, are not just about what you eat. It's a mix of genes and lifestyle. The liver plays a big role here.

Teachers play a big role in helping nurses who come from other countries. These nurses often need extra training to work in their new home. But what is it like for the teachers? Not many people talk about this. In Sweden, two universities run special programs for these nurses. The goal is to make s
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a skin condition that mostly shows up in older people. It's often seen together with other health issues like heart problems and autoimmune diseases. But here's something interesting: scientists are now looking into how a process called ferroptosis might play a role in BP.
Rabies is a deadly virus that mostly spreads through dog bites. But sometimes, even small scratches or bat bites can cause infection. Scientists are still figuring out how this happens. A recent study looked at skin cells called keratinocytes. These cells are in the outer layer of skin. The study f
