BY KATE AENLLE Is there such a thing as a normal amount of facial hair in women? Not exactly. "Normal" amounts of facial hair vary from person to person. Some individuals have very little facial and body hair, while others — women included — can have a fair amount. Facial and body hair are part of our genetic makeup, which means that your genetics can even play a role in in determining your facial hair patterns. Also related to genetics, your ethnicity can also determine whether or not you'll have more facial and body hair than another woman. Unfortunately for most women, facial and body hair is frowned upon and can even be an embarrassing problem that needs to be solved — permanently. Of course, there are a number of ways to remove body and facial hair, depending on your personal preference. But, if you're experiencing the sudden appearance of excessive facial hair, there are other things to consider before running to the nearest salon. Shaving ...

By Catharine Paddock PhD   Fact checked by Paula Field Scientists have identified biological changes in apparently normal airway tissue that could potentially predict the development of lung cancer. The changes alter gene and cell activity in the immune system. A team from Boston University School of Medicine in Massachusetts led the study that made these findings. The researchers examined samples of precancerous lesions from the airway tissues of people who smoke or used to smoke. The team followed the individuals for a number of years to see whose lesions became cancerous. In a Nature Communications paper, they describe how they identified "four molecular subtypes" of precancerous lesions with "distinct" tissue and immune system differences. It is possible to detect the differences in airway tissue before it develops precancerous signs, says senior study author Avrum E. Spira, who is a professor of medicine, pathology, and bioinformatics at ...
