Researchers have cracked the second "code of life". In an exclusive interview with Technology Networks they explain how.

A new study has investigated how smoking affects the oral microbiome and the effect of quitting on microbial diversity, finding that as cigarette consumption increases, the number of beneficial bacteria decreases.

Lymphatic fluid from surgical drains is usually thrown away, but researchers have discovered that it contains a biomarker that can guide head and neck cancer treatment.

A woman who never developed Alzheimer's despite a strong genetic predisposition may hold the key to stopping the disease in its tracks.

Circulating tumor DNA predicts recurrence and splits disease into two subgroups in Stanford Medicine-led study of Hodgkin lymphoma. New drug targets or changes in treatments may reduce toxicity.

MIT researchers have used 3D printing to produce self-heating microfluidic devices, demonstrating a technique which could someday be used to rapidly create cheap, yet accurate, tools to detect a host of diseases.

A University of Michigan-led study based on a review of genetic and health information from more than 276,000 people finds strong support for a decades-old evolutionary theory that sought to explain aging and senescence.

Exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) can lead to lower bone density in adolescents and young adults – particularly for those of Hispanic origin, according to a new longitudinal study.

Researchers have developed a new printing method called deep-penetrating acoustic volumetric printing that involves a specialized ink that reacts to soundwaves rather than light, enabling them to create biomedically useful structures at unprecedented tissue depths.

A new study led by Stanford Medicine scientists demonstrates a simple way of studying organ aging by analyzing distinct proteins, or sets of them, in blood, enabling the prediction of individuals’ risk for diseases.
