Unique mutations in the H5N1 strain enhance replication in human cells and cause severe disease in mice. The virus has spread from birds to mammals, including dairy cows, and infected humans, with one ...

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence tool that not only ...

Most people typically get between seven to nine hours of sleep each night. Now, science says some people could thrive on just four hours of sleep, feeling completely rested and ready to go. It sounds ...

(via SciShow) There are a lot of places, conditions, and situations that just don't seem all that survivable for most people. But for certain populations of humans, conditions that would be fatal for ...

Explore the new AI model that links genetic mutations to disease outcomes, revolutionising genetic diagnosis and treatment.

Investigations suggest V2P may be efficiently applied for the automated identification of causal variants in simulated and actual patient sequencing data across phenotypes.

Human eggs appear to be protected against a certain type of age-related mutation. In a small study, researchers found no signs that mutations accumulate in the mitochondrial DNA of human egg cells as ...

Research on SARS-CoV-2 in zoo tigers, lions, and hyenas shows rapid viral evolution and adaptation, offering insights into cross-species transmission dynamics.
