Journalist Noris Argotte Soto reports from Caracas following two major earthquakes that have devastated the Venezuelan capital, leaving at least 32 dead but with many more feared killed. She says the "situation is critical" in the city, with damaged infrastructure hindering relie

More than 58,000 buildings overall were destroyed or damaged by last week’s twin earthquakes in Venezuela, according to NASA’s data, while tens of thousands are still unaccounted for nearly a week later.

Central and Eastern Europe are now taking the brunt of an extreme heatwave that has swept Europe in recent days as it moves further east. Among the country's seeing temperatures soar is Ukraine, where the war-battered energy grid is struggling to cope amid the surge in demand for

As the death toll in Venezuela nears 2000 following back-to-back earthquakes, the aftershocks of the disaster are beginning to make themselves felt. Almost 60,000 buildings are thought to have been damaged or destroyed, while more than 10,000 have been injured leaving hospitals a

Peat bogs are essential to the environment, holding twice as much carbon as all the world’s forests. But in the UK, 80% are damaged, most of what is extracted is used in horticulture – and some campaigners fear the problem is getting worse‘I don’t see how I can possibly do my job

The immune system depends on molecular alarms that detect danger inside cells. One of these alarms is STING, short for "stimulator of interferon genes." STING helps cells respond to infections, damaged DNA and cancer. When it activates at the right time, it helps protect the body

Adelaide University researchers have carried out the first in-human trial of a new type of treatment for a leading cause of blindness in working age adults, with promising results.

Unlike accidental cell death, some cells can actively decide to die through a controlled process. This is called programmed cell death and can occur in different forms, including apoptosis and necroptosis. Cells use this process when they are damaged, stressed, becoming cancerous

Autophagy is the process by which cells remove damaged proteins, recycle worn-out organelles (e.g., mitochondria), clear cellular waste and provide nutrients during stress. Autophagy is essential for muscles because they are constantly under mechanical stress. If autophagy is too

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz have developed a promising nonhormonal therapy for women experiencing Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM). GSM is a common chronic condition caused by declining estrogen levels that affects the vulva, vagina and urinary tra

Scientists have discovered how damage to the myelin sheath—the insulating layer around nerve fibers—affects brain activity during sleep.

The fever experienced by people with malaria exposes parasites to high temperatures within blood cells. This heat can lead to the accumulation of damaged proteins inside the parasite and trigger protective mechanisms against thermal stress.
