A Macquarie University–led study has identified coordinated abnormalities in cellular energy, immune function and blood vessel reactivity in people with ME/CFS, shedding new light on the condition’s underlying biology

Paleontologists working in a cave on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola have discovered the first-known instance of ancient bees nesting inside pre-existing fossil cavities.

A new study reveals a critical link between seasonal seabird nesting and the movements of top marine predators in the remote Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. The research found that the annual summer arrival of fledgling seabirds at French Frigate Shoals concentrates tiger sharks in specific areas, forcing other species, including gray reef and Galapagos sharks, to drastically shift their own habitat use to avoid predation and competition.

Researchers at the University of Houston are pushing the boundaries of biomedical innovation with a discovery that could transform treatment for cancer-induced cachexia, a debilitating syndrome characterized by the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass. 

Researchers have uncovered how and why traumatic brain injury raises the risk for Alzheimer’s disease, and the discovery suggests a potential way to prevent that increased risk.

Why do we love who we love? Why do some relationships endure while others fall apart? In The Intimate Animal: The Science of Sex, Fidelity, and Why We Live and Die for Love, Kinsey Institute Executive Director Dr. Justin R. Garcia presents a bold new scientific framework for understanding the roots of human intimacy that all our lives depend on.
