When we think of dinosaurs, we often imagine majestic giants that ruled the Earth millions of years ago. But even these ancient creatures were not immune to diseases familiar to humans today, such as osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is relatively rare in today’s wild mammals (less than 1%) but is not uncommon in domestic or working animals like dogs and horses, as well as in birds, with a prevalence

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a method which determines not only whether a chemical or substance is allergenic, but also how strong its potential for causing hypersensitivity is.

Or that nearly three-quarters of all rare diseases are genetic diseases? With more than 6,000 rare diseases known to impact the lives of an estimated 300 million people around the world – rare diseases are all too common. Limited knowledge of these diseases often res
