The discovery of an unknown organelle inside our cells could open the door to new treatments for devastating inherited diseases. 

Washington State University and Mayo Clinic researchers have developed an electrochemical catheter hub that could someday help prevent deadly central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) that annually kill thousands of people around the world.

A study from the Keck School of Medicine of USC found that California high school students who frequently saw cannabis and e-cigarette posts on social media, particularly TikTok, were more likely to start using these substances.

Influencer content, which often bypasses regulatory scrutiny, poses additional risks by normalizing cannabis and e-cigarette use among young audiences.

UCLA scientists have uncovered a surprising survival strategy in cancer cells that may help explain how MYC-driven cancers survive and grow despite limited resources.
