Stopping statins in adults 75 and older with no history of heart disease or stroke does not increase the risk of death over three years compared with continuing statins, although "bad" cholesterol rose around 50% in those who stopped, according to a randomized controlled trial pu

Whether it's neurons responding to electrical signals or plants stretching toward light, nature is filled with examples of biological materials that respond to their environment.

Food and pharmaceutical manufacturers increasingly seek lipids with carefully controlled fatty-acid compositions.

On a perfect, crisp fall day with blue skies, scientists in yellow safety coats gather in the sprawling desert north of Reno.

A randomized controlled trial compared first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) arthrodesis, a joint fusion surgery for painful hallux rigidus (arthritis of the big toe joint), with watchful waiting in reducing walking pain.

As new Alzheimer's drugs move from clinical trials into everyday care, families are asking whether these treatments are safe, how long patients can stay on them and whether they truly slow the disease outside tightly controlled studies.

Recent technological advances have enabled the development of increasingly sophisticated, sharper displays for electronic devices. Many modern displays use light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, tiny semiconductor-based components that emit light when an electrical current passes throug

Approximately 68,000 women in Germany are living with breast cancer that has metastasized—meaning that the tumor has spread to other organs. At this stage, the cancer is no longer curable. With the help of modern therapies, however, the disease can be temporarily controlled and l

The interaction between X-rays and matter can be actively controlled, according to an international research team led by the University of Hamburg and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory that has succeeded in producing bright X-ray images with significantly less damage. In an ar

Rice University engineers have developed a new strategy for controlling how therapeutic peptides are released from gelatin-based materials, a step that could make the small but powerful molecules more useful in tissue engineering and drug delivery.
