Obstructive sleep apnea hugely impacts health and well-being, but as those with the condition know, treatment is very limited. Now, a new nasal spray has shown promise in alleviating the symptoms of the most common sleep-related breathing disorder.

A study has found that playing a soundscape to a common, plant-promoting fungus found in soil caused it to grow more rapidly than fungi that weren’t exposed to sound. The novel ‘eco-acoustic’ approach has the potential to restore damaged ecosystems.

Researchers have discovered that cerebrospinal fluid, the brain's shock absorber, may cause treatment resistance in people with brain cancer. But they identified a sixty-year-old drug that can be repurposed to resensitize cancer cells to treatment.

Researchers have used plasma technology to transform blue-green microalgae into a novel coating that can be applied to dressings and medical devices to protect patients from infection, speed up healing and reduce inflammation.

Bioactive compounds in brown seaweed were found to have more effective anti-skin-aging properties than commercially available anti-aging agents. The finding paves the way for more effective, natural health and skincare products.

Sleep apnea affects around 30 million Americans, but it can be incredibly difficult to treat, even more so given that devices used to alleviate it are given up on by nearly half of those diagnosed. Scientists are now proposing a different approach.

A study has found that breastfeeding can improve mom's cardiovascular health for at least three years. The findings are especially important for women with complicated pregnancies, who are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease later in life.

Scientists have identified an ancient marsupial for the first time, whose special adaptations allowed it to walk huge distances across the Australian continent 3.5 million years ago. And it's a feature you can still see in diverse marsupials today.

One thing that will definitely ruin a wine is an unpleasant aroma. Such malodorous wines could soon be saved, however, with a little bit of help from gold nanoparticles.

Science continues to make advances in smart fabrics. Now, a team of international researchers has created a wearable textile that can self-repair, is antibacterial, and could even be used to monitor a person’s heart rhythm.

In a new study, scientists from China, Europe and Australia have examined how rapid urbanization has affected an often overlooked area of biodiversity, soil biodiversity, and how it has impacted human health.

A trial has tested whether introducing small quantities of boiled peanuts to a child's diet can treat allergies. After the year-long treatment, 80% of children could tolerate peanuts but the researchers caution the therapy is still experimental.
