Using cannabis may cause changes in the human body's epigenome, a study of over 1,000 adults suggests. The epigenome functions like a set of switches, activating or deactivating genes to change how ...
About half of Americans between 45 and 84 have atherosclerosis without knowing it. Diseases linked to atherosclerosis are the leading cause of death in the United States. The condition develops when ...
