While we try to not live in the past, our biology often has other ideas. Adding to a growing body of evidence, researchers have found that men who carried around extra pounds in their youth are at a much higher risk of developing 17 types of cancers.

While the use of recycled plastics is normally considered a noble endeavor, a new study says it's time to think twice. In an analysis of the material from more than 10 different countries, hundreds of potentially harmful chemicals were uncovered.

An organic electrode that doesn’t require invasive surgery to implant and is resorbed by the body over time may be a novel way of using electrical stimulation to treat non-chronic conditions such as cancer, nerve injuries and pain.

Aquaponics operations combine aquaculture and hydroponics, with nutrient-rich water from the former being used to fertilize plants in the latter. Soon, such systems could also be powered by methane biogas derived from their own fish feces.

Currently, if someone doesn't receive treatment within a few hours of suffering a stroke, their chances of recovery are greatly diminished. That may one day no longer be the case, however, thanks to newly developed nasal drops.

Surgery to remove brain tumors comes with risks, one being that it may cause damage to the surrounding tissues. Researchers have found that biomarkers found in the blood are a useful new tool for tracking brain tissue damage on a cellular level.

We all know that trees help clean the air in cities, but which trees do so best? According to new research conducted in Sweden, a mixture of deciduous and coniferous trees will give you the most bang for your buck.

The processing of foods typically generates a lot of wastewater, which has to be cleaned up before being released back into local waterways. According to new research, however, that water could first be put to use as a very effective fertilizer for farmed seaweed.

It's well established that exercise can be good for our mental health. Now a new study has uncovered a relationship between the intensity of physical activity and relief from symptoms of anxiety, with those working up the most sweat found to benefit the most.

Blood samples taken from Russian cosmonauts before and after long stints on the ISS have revealed elevations of biomarkers that could indicate brain damage, adding to a growing body of research highlighting the deleterious effects of space travel.
-
Cancer cells are very energy-hungry, which could be a potential weakness. Now, researchers have developed an experimental drug that blocks mitochondrial metabolism, starving cancer cells of energy while leaving healthy cells relatively unscathed.

While it's important for biologists to know which organisms have colonized the seabed in a given area, excavation is both labor-intensive and ecologically unsound. That's where the Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) are made to come in.
