A common type of human papillomavirus (HPV) could be more dangerous than we thought. The virus, known as beta-HPV, was thought in rare cases to contribute to skin cancer by worsening UV damage, but a new study suggests it can actually hijack the body’s cells to directly drive cancer growth. These fresh conclusions came from a study of a 34-year-old …

Blockbuster weight loss jabs relied on by millions of slimmers could waste away muscles, research has suggested.  Once aimed at diabetes patients, drugs like Ozempic are now famous for bringing about rapid weight loss by reducing appetite.  But the injections often come with side effects, from nausea and constipation and, in most severe cases, life-threatening organ damage. Now, US experts have found …

A father-of-two was left floored after doctors informed him a suspicious-looking lump in his throat was cancer – which they believe was caused by oral sex. Frank Lane said he initially thought that health experts were ‘talking a load of rubbish’ when they informed him of the intimate source of his illness. But after doing some of his own research …

A new study published in The Anatomical Record unveils the first clearly identified juvenile specimen of the extinct genus Pleurosaurus, offering rare insight into the developmental biology of a marine reptile that lived 150 million years ago in what is now southern Germany. The fossil, found in the Mörnsheim Formation near Solnhofen, bridges a longstanding gap in paleontological knowledge about …

Scientists have concluded that peacocks’ tail feathers are capable of emitting narrow beams of light. A team highlighted that the colored tail feathers include tiny reflective structures that can amplify light into a laser beam. Researchers from Florida Polytechnic University and Youngstown State University explored such structures that may emit a very different signature glow after applying a special dye …

Cancer sometimes creeps in slowly, other times it bursts onto the scene without much warning. Either way, the disease hijacks the instructions that tell our cells how to behave, turning helpful teammates into troublemakers. For decades, oncology has focused on destroying those unruly cells. A new line of work asks a different question: what if we could push them back …

The Appalachian Mountains, with their ancient peaks and timeworn ridges, are a familiar sight in Eastern North America. But beneath them, deep within the Earth’s crust, a geological anomaly is slowly but surely reshaping the landscape. Recent research has uncovered the presence of a hot blob of rock, buried 125 miles below the surface, that may have played a significant …
