Study sheds light on the molecular workings at play when oxygen exceeds normal levels

It only takes holding your breath for slightly too long to understand that too little oxygen is bad for you. But can you also have too much? Indeed, breathing air with a higher oxygen level than your body needs can cause health problems or even death.

Scientists decode key factor in T cell lymphoma growth, paving way for new treatments

A team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has decoded the factor that makes T cell lymphomas grow comparatively rapidly: A missing "emergency shut-off switch" results in the lymphomas processing particularly large amounts of sugar and triggers other processes as well.

Is your body out of sync? Study finds organs age at varying rates

Research uncovers that human organs age at varying rates, with some showing accelerated aging compared to chronological age, significantly impacting overall health and disease risk. The study used advanced blood plasma proteomics to analyze organ-specific aging in nearly 5,700 adults, linking it to increased risks of heart failure and Alzheimer's disease.
