America’s next health emergency won’t wait for Washington, write W. Craig Vanderwagen and Jennifer B. Alton.
As the Human Cell Atlas project marks its 10th anniversary, a leader's ties to a major single-cell RNA sequencing company raise conflict-of-interest questions.
Thai fisherman Somdet Singthong steered his metal skiff across the brown waters of the Mekong River, resigned to the pollution that has put his health and lifelong source of livelihood at risk.
More than 1 billion children face at least three overlapping climate hazards, UNICEF warned Monday, while highlighting the disproportionate impact in some regions of the world.
In the crystalline waters off Kenya's coast, coral reefs are thriving—evidence of a rare good-news story in the battle to protect oceans from the ravages of climate change.
Traditional global climate models were like early digital cameras—they had only about 10,000 pixels to cover the entire planet. At that low resolution, big storm systems looked like blurry blobs. You couldn't see their true shape, how long they lasted or where they dumped the heaviest rain.
Growing up in Tahiti, Anna-Bella Failloux saw firsthand the threat posed by mosquitoes: Nearly a third of adults on the picturesque island once had swollen limbs from elephantiasis caused by their bites.
Britain will ban children aged under 16 from using a range of social media apps, including Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube, to protect them from harmful content and excessive screen time, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Monday.
A 6.7 magnitude earthquake shook part of central Indonesia's Sulawesi island Tuesday, causing scattered damage and rattling residents of a city devastated by a quake and tsunami eight years ago.
Humans evolved to pay close attention to danger, but today that instinct is being overwhelmed by an endless supply of bad news from around the world. Researchers say the answer isn’t to stop following current events—it’s to build healthier habits around how, when, and where we get our news.
A copper-based compound restored the brain’s ability to clear toxic Alzheimer’s proteins, dramatically reducing amyloid buildup and improving memory in laboratory experiments. The findings point to a potentially fast-tracked new treatment strategy because the drug has already been tested in humans for other neurological conditions.
Consider what is asked of a clinical trial. Researchers gather people who differ in nearly every way that matters. They are given the same drug at the same dose, and then they average the result and call the average truth. Most of the time the trick holds. Sometimes it lies.
A new analysis has found that after Utah lowered the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for driving from 0.08 to 0.05 g/dL, alcohol-related crash fatalities declined significantly more in Utah than in its six contiguous states. The findings from the study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, provide timely evidence that lowering the BAC limit may save lives and point to broad public safety benefits.
The Nebraska Sandhills—the largest system of sand dunes in the Western Hemisphere—stretch across about one-quarter of the state.
Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a previously unrecognized way the kidneys regulate water balance—an advance that could lead to improved treatments for polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and other disorders. The study, led by Fouad Chebib, M.D., a nephrologist at Mayo Clinic, is published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
The EU must reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040 relative to 1990—of which 5 percentage points can be achieved through climate action elsewhere, according to the 2025 law. A study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) now proposes a novel instrument for this external component: performance-based Jurisdictional Reward Funds. This avoids perverse incentives, strengthens international and thus also European climate action, and costs just 5 billion euros annually.
Researchers just got one step closer to solving the age-old question of whether cats or dogs make better pets. A team in the Netherlands set out to better understand the nuances and underlying mechanisms behind the positive influence of pet ownership on owners' emotional well-being. They also examined whether the beneficial influence of pet interaction is specific to either species and found tentative evidence of a difference in how interacting with cats and dogs affects stressed owners.
