| Parkinson's: Vitamin B-3 may stop brain cell death A Parkinson's study using human cells and a fly model found that a form of vitamin B-3 prevented the death of brain cells by preserving their mitochondria. | Seven (or more) things you didn't know about your brain The brain is the main organ of the central nervous system. It regulates thought, emotion, and our physiological processes. What do we really know about it? | Tea tree oil may replace antibiotics in the fight against infections Using antibacterial molecules derived from tea tree oil, researchers have created a bioactive coating that can keep bacteria away from medical devices. |

Fatty breast tissue appears grey or black on images, while dense tissues such as glands are white. Benign and cancerous tumors, cysts, fibroadenomas, and calcifications also look white. Here, learn more about mammograms. | Eating sensibly may slash death risk for cancer survivors New research shows that a balanced, diverse diet can cut the risk of premature mortality by 65 percent for people who survived different forms of cancer. |
