��ɫ��Ƶ researcher Jesse Kurland shows in a new study that aging is a complex process affecting genetic networks, and altering one gene won’t stop it.

Federal regulators approved the first over-the-counter oral contraceptive. ��ɫ��Ƶ’s Amanda Stevenson says the impacts could be sweeping. But she cautions that real threats to contraceptive access in the U.S. still exist.

In the wake of the devastating Marshall Fire, a team of chemists and engineers from ��ɫ��Ƶ undertook a first-of-its-kind study to explore homes that survived the blaze. Their results reveal the potential health hazards that wildfires can leave behind in buildings.

Maciej Walczak, ��ɫ��Ƶ associate professor of chemistry, won a $2 million NIH grant to investigate how certain sugars modify a brain protein associated with neurodegeneration.

New research shows that cancer cells can adapt in as little as one to two hours to new drugs called CDK2 inhibitors. The good news: Adding a second, widely available drug disables this workaround, squelching tumor growth.

An ancient, virus-like protein best known for its essential role in placental development may, when over-expressed, fuel ALS—aka Lou Gehrig's disease—and other neurodegenerative diseases, according to new research. The discovery opens the door to a new class of potential treatments.

A revolutionary technique for editing genomes, called CRISPR-Cas9, has already helped cure sickle cell disease in dozens of people. But it also raises ethical concerns, which a panel of preeminent scientists grappled with at an event on the ��ɫ��Ƶ campus.

A study led by a ��ɫ��Ƶ researcher finds that flavored tobacco products reduce the likelihood of cessation later, but researchers say more investigation is needed.

A new study led by Angela Bryan, a ��ɫ��Ƶ professor and cancer survivor, is among the first to assess how cannabis bought over the counter at dispensaries—rather than government-supplied or synthetic varieties—impacts cancer symptoms or chemotherapy side effects.

The study of 46 million births across nearly three decades is among the first to provide population-level statistical evidence of “obstetric racism,” a term coined recently to describe a concerning pattern of maltreatment of non-white pregnant women, including a disregard for their birthing wishes.
