Low levels of mercury exposure impact molecular processes
A new study reveals the impact of low-level exposure to heavy metals such as mercury on skin tissue.
Risk of cancer doubles for people with 'skewed' blood cells
Scientists have discovered that people who have a ‘skewed’ pattern in their immune blood cells are twice as likely to develop cancer later in life.
Molecule in fat tissue could be linked to severe COVID-19, study finds
Low levels of a key molecule in fat tissue are linked with health conditions that are risk factors for severe COVID-19.
X chromosome differences in women could affect accuracy of genetic tests for health risk
Researchers have found that the X chromosome in women shows up differently in different parts of the body as they age, meaning that technologies that predict...
