Eccrine sweat is a water-like fluid secreted by eccrine sweat glands that comprises various kinds of biochemical components such as electrolytes, metabolites, organic molecules, and drugs.

BraDiPho (Brain Dissection Photogrammetry) is an innovative tool for the study of white matter connections in the human brain. The realistic map was developed by a group of researchers from the University of Trento, the Provincial Healthcare Service of Trento, Fondazione Bruno Kessler and the Universities of Bordeaux and Sherbrooke.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and “protein language” models can speed the design of monoclonal antibodies that prevent or reduce the severity of potentially life-threatening viral infections, according to a multi-institutional study led by researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a pioneering method to mend damaged hearts without open-heart surgery, an advance that could one day transform the treatment of heart failure.

A newly discharged American military veteran struggles emotionally to quiet memories from the battlefield. He smokes cannabis, increasingly, to fall asleep at night and to get through the day.

An Osaka Metropolitan University team has used stem cells extracted from adipose, the body’s fatty tissue, to treat spine fractures in rats similar to those caused by osteoporosis in humans. These cells offer the advantages of being easy to collect, even from elderly individuals, and causing little stress to the body, suggesting a noninvasive way of treating bone diseases.

Scientists have known for decades that opioids relieve pain by binding to molecular switches in the brain called mu-opioid receptors. What they didn’t know—until now—was exactly what happens next.

The pursuit of a longer life may currently be trending for tech bros, but the notion of a fountain of youth, or even immortality, has intrigued people for millennia. Yet, some of the more evidence-based methods to increase longevity, such as dieting, are decidedly unpleasant to maintain over time.

Engineers at MIT say they developed a flexible drug delivery patch for promoting healing and tissue regeneration after heart attacks.
