Although the avian flu (H5N1) virus may not be making the news as frequently, it is still working hard behind the scenes, attempting to evolve into more and more effective versions. Since the highly pathogenic avian flu was detected in Canada in 2021, it has led to the infection of over 180 million domestic birds in Canada and the United States. New evidence published in Science Advances, indicates that the H5N1 virus has been intermixing with low-pathogenicity avian influenza viruses (LPAIVs) to expand its host options and geographical range.

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) reports its latest AI model aimed at helping researchers better understand how cells behave by focusing on the key networks that control cell behavior, making complex biological problems, like cancer, easier to solve.

The term "oral health" refers to the health of the mouth, teeth, gums, and other related structures, and it is closely linked with our well-being and quality of life.

If memories are the black box of our past, they can also shed light on the present by giving meaning to new situations. But how does memory retrieve either surface matches (based on same places, same people) or deeper, more conceptual ones (based on similar intentions or actions)?

The World Health Organization defines IGD as a pattern of persistent or recurrent gaming behavior that takes precedence over other life interests and activities, resulting in significant impairment or distress.

Recently, I found myself pouring my heart out, not to a human, but to a chatbot named Wysa on my phone. It nodded—virtually—asked me how I was feeling and gently suggested trying breathing exercises.

If you are one of the 39 million Americans in the U.S. living with migraines, there's a good chance an intense headache will begin when the weather shifts.

The National Cancer Institute and University of Oxford report that oral contraceptive use is not associated with increased liver cancer risk, based on a population-based analysis of more than 1.5 million women and a review of 23 previous studies.

University of Warwick researchers have led the development of a new AI tool that can help doctors make the difficult and high-stakes decision of whether to intubate a patient in acute respiratory failure.

Susan Monarez is one step closer to becoming the next director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The life-saving impact of global vaccine stockpiles to address outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases has been demonstrated in new Burnet Institute research.

We've long known there's a link between alcohol and violence, but when it comes to homicide the stories behind the statistics are harder to grasp.

Some mammals are capable of hibernating during periods of low food availability in an effort to conserve energy and survive. While it is easy to understand why species have evolved this survival mechanism, exactly how these animals regulate their metabolism and body temperature remains a mystery.

Even four years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, California residents aren't living as long as they used to.
