A study that scanned the genomes of thousands of “never-smokers” diagnosed with lung cancer as well as healthy never smokers has found a gene they say could be responsible for a significant number of those cancers.
Researchers have discovered a chemical that may, over the long term, protect the hearts of Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients — a fatal and most common form of muscular dystrophy in children.

Researchers have found two novel ways of killing the bacteria that cause tuberculosis, a disease responsible for an estimated two million deaths each year.
Stomach irritation preventing almost two out of every 10 people from enjoying coffee. Now, scientists report the discovery of several substances that may be among the culprits responsible for brewing up heartburn and stomach pain in every cup.
Health-care personnel influenza immunization rates have remained low, despite recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other leading health-care organizations that all health-care personnel receive annual flu vaccines. Experts say these levels are perilous. Increasing vaccination rates substantially improves patient safety, lowering flu deaths by 40 percent.

What determines whether a scene is remembered or forgotten? According to a new study memory for visual scenes may not depend on attention level or what a scene contains, but when the scene is presented. The study shows how visual scenes are encoded into memory at behaviorally relevant points in time.
“Cold fusion,” a controversial energy source once relegated to the scientific equivalent of banishment to Siberia, is now moving closer toward acceptance by the mainstream scientific community, as evidenced by a special two-day symposium at the American Chemical Society’s 239th National Meeting.
