Traditionally, Forensic Science relies on Human DNA for contact evidence and individual identification, but limitation arises when the blood cells obtained from the crime scene are degraded or not.
The human ear is often described as one of the most sophisticated sensory systems in biology. Within a structure no larger than a seashell, the auditory system can detect frequencies ranging from the faint rumble of distant thunder to the subtle harmonic texture of a violin string
For the elite athlete, an injury is more than a clinical setback, it is an existential interruption. The pursuit of physical excellence has long been haunted by the inherent fragility of the human frame, where a single ligament tear or a chronic strain can dismantle years of disciplined optimization. Historically
What if one of the most powerful models for understanding the human brain were less than an inch long, transparent, and living in a small tank? Meet Danio rerio, the zebrafish.
Environmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs) are natural and synthetic chemicals that interfere with endocrine system function by altering hormone synthesis, transport, metabolism, and receptor binding.
Epigenetics is transforming how scientists understand the bridge between genes and behavior, opening the door to a new era of mental health treatment.
Professional cycling is a sport defined by marginal gains. At the highest levels of competition, the difference between victory and the middle of the pack can be measured in seconds, watts, or subtle physiological advantages accumulated over months of preparation.
The gut microbiomeover 100 trillion microorganisms, communicates with the brain via the gut–brain axis, influencing mood, cognition, immunity, and stress regulation. Dysbiosis is linked to depression, anxiety, autism spectrum disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases, emphasizing its critical role in mental and neurological health.
In this study, I explore how cancer risk is distributed across the animal kingdom, emphasizing the role of life-history traits, reproductive strategies, and social behavior in shaping susceptibility to disease. Drawing on recent findings in comparative oncology, the article examines patterns that challenge traditional assumptions, such as the relationship between body size and cancer, and highlights evolutionary mechanisms that may confer resistance in certain species.
Small fruit fly is an excellent model organism used by scientists to study various aspect of human health and diseases such as development, regeneration, wound healing, cancer and stem cell research
Understanding the human brain remains one of the greatest challenges in modern science. With billions of neurons forming intricate networks and constantly changing connections, the brain’s complexity makes it extremely difficult to study directly.
A future without transplant waitlists? Tissue engineering blends biology and engineering to build living, functional human tissue.
We have all witnessed the physiological "decoupling" that occurs late in a race, where at mile 20 of a marathon, a pace that felt like a metabolic steady-state two hours ago suddenly demands an all-out effort.
Environmental pollution in densely populated regions remains a persistent challenge, particularly where cultural, religious, and social practices intersect with fragile ecosystems. While industrial emissions and vehicular pollution have received substantial scholarly attention, the environmental impact of everyday ritual and community practices
This architecture is essential for shielding neurons from toxins, pathogens, and fluctuations in the bloodstream, but it also creates a devastating bottleneck for modern medicine. More than 98% of small-molecule drugs and nearly all large biological therapeutics fail to cross the BBB in meaningful amounts, leaving many promising treatments for neurodegenerative disorders, brain tumors, and inflammatory diseases stranded in the circulation.
See what thyroid function tests measure, including TSH, Free T3, and Free T4. Learn how these blood tests diagnose thyroid disorders and monitor thyroid health.
Tiny but powerful, basement membranes support cells, regulate barriers, and drive disease when disrupted—key players in health, aging, and cancer.
Can algorithms predict sickness before you feel it? Explore how AI is using smartwatch data and ECGs to detect diseases like Alzheimer's and AFib early.
See what kidney function tests measure, including creatinine, eGFR, and urinalysis. Discover how these tests help detect kidney disease and monitor kidney health.
Ageing is accompanied by a gradual decline in physiological functions, among which deterioration of the immune system termed immunosenescence—has profound implications for human health.
