Middle-ear infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria remain among the most common pediatric illnesses worldwide. When the eustachian tube-responsible for balancing pressure and clearing mucus-fails to function properly during…

High in the Ecuadorian Andes, at altitudes thousands of meters above sea level, humans face environmental pressures very different from those at lower altitudes.

The human body can acclimatize, physiologically, to the lower levels of oxygen in…

By engineering nanomaterials that boost mitochondrial biogenesis, researchers show how stem cells can become powerful “mitochondrial biofactories,” offering a new strategy to repair cellular energy failure at its source.
