“style=”;” /> I thought “beauty sleep” was one of those things people said when they had matching PJs, eight hours without a break and no kids shouting YouTube shorts at 6.02am.

These days, between Woohoo, hormones, family life, and a super-puppy who needs his daily energy burn, sleep seems less like a luxury and more like a minor miracle. But here’s the good news: even if your sleep isn’t perfect, your skin is still doing some pretty smart stuff while you sleep.…
At some point, most of us have been told to “eat healthy.” Sounds simple enough, right? But what that means may look different from person to person. For some, it’s about cutting back on junk food and adding more fruits, vegetables and whole grains. For others, it may mean watching sodium intake, choosing foods that support heart health, or managing cholesterol levels. Regardless of your health history, eating well is something we’re all encouraged to do, especially during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, when your body supports both you and your baby. But if you’re living with an eating disorder, pregnancy…
Just as the human body relies on organs like the heart or liver for essential functions, cells depend on their own tiny organs, or organelles, to perform vital tasks, including transporting nutrients, removing waste, and regulating genetic activity. Now, a team of UCLA researchers has developed a new method for making programmable artificial organelles inside living cells using RNA as both the material and the blueprint. The approach allows researchers to design droplet-like cellular compartments that assemble in predictable ways and can be controlled in terms of how and where they form, as well as which molecules they recruit. A…

Rachel Rebouché & Adrienne Ghorashi For the past six weeks, access to abortion in the state of Texas has been unclear at best and unavailable at worst. Dueling court orders between a federal trial court and the district’s federal appeals court lifted the ban on nearly all abortions — which the state considers “non-essential” health care — only to reinstate it days later. After four court orders (and a withdrawn petition to the US Supreme Court), abortion care resumed in the state. But the US battle over abortion access is far from over, and Texans are still fighting…

Leading medical organizations recommend that women at average risk for breast cancer start annual mammo40. Our biggest concern is the continued confusion about screening guidelines. For most women, breast cancer screening should begin with annual…
