A new study has found that psychopaths show structural changes in particular areas of the brain that deal with things like impulse control and emotional regulation.
For the first time, scientists have unraveled just how high levels of fructose affect the body, flipping a genetic switch as it's broken down – one that primes your immune system to overreact to things it would normally ignore.
A new organelle has been found by scientists at the University of Virginia (UVA). The super-small specialized structure has a role recycling material inside our cells, and its discovery could lead to improved treatments for a wide range of diseases.
Parasites are known to infect human cells through a variety of ingenious mechanisms. Many of them have even evolved sophisticated strategies to evade a host's immune system by avoiding it entirely.
For years, the CRISPR-Cas9 genome technology has been reshaping genetic engineering, a precision tool to transform everything from agriculture to medicine.
A question from a curious kid quickly led a team of scientists down a research rabbit hole – one that has now culminated in fascinating new knowledge about our water-wrinkled fingertips. And there's more to this discovery than a cool piece of trivi
