Living cells are bombarded with messages from the outside world -- hormones
and other chemicals tell them to grow, migrate, die or do nothing. Inside the
cell, complex signaling networks interpret these cues and make life-and-death...

A new study provides the first evidence that people with higher body mass
index (BMI) may have a greater response to ozone than leaner people. Short-term
exposure to atmospheric ozone has long been known to cause a temporary drop in
lung...

It used to be dogma that the brain was shut away from the actions of the
immune system, shielded from the outside forces of nature. But that’s not how
it is at all. In fact, thanks to the scientific detective work of Kevin Tracey,
MD, it...

It is already known that a
person's social environment can affect his or her health, with those who are
socially isolated — that is, lonely — suffering from higher mortality than
people who are not.
Now, in the first study of its kind,...

Imagine a brain implant device smart
enough to maneuver around inside a person’s skull. On its own, the device can
locate the most functional target area to do its work. The task might involve
deep brain stimulation therapy for a patient with...
