Nearly half of drug-caused deaths by health care workers involved drugs that were obtained from their place of work, new research finds.

Aging skin stretches, contracts and buckles under pressure—and that's how wrinkles form, according to new experimental evidence from scientists at Binghamton University, State University of New York.

With an estimated 1.5 million new cases and 397,000 deaths worldwide, prostate cancer is the world's second most frequent cancer and the fifth leading cause of cancer death among men in 2022. Hormone therapy based on the inhibition of androgen receptor signaling (ARPi) is the mainstay of treatment for metastatic prostate cancer (mPC).

Precancerous cells must adapt to and overcome cellular stress and inflammation in order to progress and form malignant tumors. Now, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have identified a link between stress and inflammation and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), one of the most aggressive and lethal types of cancer.

Winter is here, and with it come higher rates of respiratory illnesses. If you've been struck down recently with a sore throat, runny nose and a cough, or perhaps even a fever, you're not alone.

A new study, led by experts at the University of Nottingham, has found that the COVID-19 pandemic may have accelerated people's brain health, even if they were never infected with the virus.

New research from the University of Pittsburgh reveals how the immune system defends against intestinal parasitic worms, or helminths, one of the most common infections worldwide in communities with limited access to clean water and sanitation.

In November 1922, archaeologist Howard Carter peered through a small hole into the sealed tomb of King Tutankhamun. When asked if he could see anything, he replied: "Yes, wonderful things." Within months, however, Carter's financial backer Lord Carnarvon was dead from a mysterious illness. Over the following years, several other members of the excavation team would meet similar fates, fueling legends of the "pharaoh's curse" that have captivated the public imagination for just over a century.
