Protein is everywhere nowadays. From yogurt to breakfast cereal, bread to pasta or even chocolate bars, the obsession with making sure we get enough protein has seemingly taken over our diets.

The World Health Organization said Thursday that 31 of 38 confirmed Ebola cases have resulted in deaths in southern Congo, where authorities are battling a new outbreak of the deadly virus.

Postpartum hemorrhage, severe bleeding after childbirth, is a leading cause of maternal mortality around the world. But many of these deaths can be prevented—and a real-time blood-monitoring technology called viscoelastic testing (VET) could play a crucial role. Though used in parts of Europe, VET is not yet a standard part of maternity care in the United States.

Scientists at the University of Liverpool, working with international collaborators, have discovered Novltex, a groundbreaking new class of antibiotics with potent activity against some of the world's most dangerous multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria.

When you lift weights, walk up a steep hill or ride a bike, your body is continuously sending sensory signals to your brain.

Asking people to imagine future regret could be a powerful tool for increasing flu vaccination rates, according to new research from SMU.

Thousands of people with dementia are prescribed powerful medications for longer and at higher doses than recommended, raising concerns about safety and quality of care, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.

Thanks to in-utero blood transfusion technology, what was once a fatal diagnosis in the womb can now result in live births.

This year, 10 days of extreme heat in Europe killed roughly 2,300 people, severe flooding on the New South Wales coast left more than 48,000 stranded, and wildfires in Los Angeles destroyed at least 16,000 homes and other buildings.

As a clinician and researcher in cardiac rehabilitation, I've learned that the most important tool in our work is not a stethoscope or a treadmill—it is our ability to listen. Not just to the words patients say, but to the nuances of their experiences, fears, and hopes after a heart event. Listening carefully is what allows us to understand recovery in a holistic way, and it is at the heart of qualitative research in health care.

If you could, would you pay to live forever? Some Silicon Valley billionaires aren't just making tech products—they've set their sights on immortality.

A multidisciplinary team has used advanced imaging and computational modeling to analyze the "crosstalk" between neurons and their supporting glial cells in the human brain. This approach highlights the brain's interconnected cellular network.
