Toxic “forever chemicals” are altering human liver function at a fundamental level by triggering both fat accumulation and cancer-linked cell damage, a new study has found. Several of these compounds, ...

Fatty liver disease is among the fastest-growing medical conditions characterised by an abnormal accumulation of lipids in the liver, causing more damage to the organ. While the disorder—commonly ...

Human stem cells get worn out and age much faster in space, a new study has found, which is a problem for anyone hoping to take a long trip through our solar system. Scientists used artificial ...

University of Oxford-led research finds low-dose rapamycin functions as a genomic protector in aging human immune cells, lowering DNA damage. The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a central ...

Fentanyl, a widely used synthetic opioid, can be fatal even at low exposures, and in recent years, the illegal abuse of fentanyl and its analogs has become a serious global concern. Scientists headed ...
