They’re young. They’ve been injured in an assault. They’ve landed in the ER. And nearly one in four of them has a gun. What happens next?

Some people feel so “creeped out” that they would decline an organ—even a blood transfusion—if they knew it came from a murderer or thief, according to a new U-M study.

Video: U-M doctors made history recently when they used computer modeling and laser technology to design, fabricate, and implant a customized tracheal splint into a gravely ill infant. The groundbreaking procedure required emergency clearance from the Food and Drug Administration.

An international team of physicists has found the first direct evidence of pear-shaped nuclei in exotic atoms. The findings could advance the search for a new fundamental force in nature and explain why the Big Bang created more matter than antimatter—a pivotal imbalance in the history of, well, everything.

Every cell in our bodies runs on a 24-hour clock, tuned to the night-day, light-dark cycles that have ruled us since the dawn of humanity. New research shows that clock may be broken in the brains of people with depression.
