Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) have identified an innovation in stem cell therapy to regenerate neural cells in the brain after cardiac arrest in an animal model.

A recent review highlights the need for innovative influenza vaccines that combine T-cell and antibody responses to enhance protection across multiple strains and seasons.

Study reveals that raw meat-based pet diets (RMBDs) often harbor multidrug-resistant bacteria, posing significant health risks to both pets and humans, unlike conventionally processed pet foods.

Researchers documented the first observed case of a wild Sumatran orangutan actively treating a wound using a medicinal plant, offering insights into the origins of self-medication in non-human species.

A recent study reveals that males bear a higher disease burden overall, while females experience a higher burden from seven specific conditions, emphasizing the need for tailored health interventions.

Researchers evaluate the ability of ChatGPT to extract structured data from unstructured clinical notes.

Despite reducing exposure to air pollution, a study found that using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in cooking did not improve fetal growth compared to traditional biomass fuels in resource-limited settings.

Study finds that the LS7 and LE8 scores predict all-cause and cardiovascular mortality with similar efficacy in the overall U.S. population. However, the PCE score is better at predicting mortality in individuals aged 40 to 79.

COVID-19 may also affect body composition, even in those who did not acquire the infection.

Study found that a high-fat diet exacerbates age-related cognitive decline in rats, even when microglia cells are removed from the equation, suggesting other pathways may play a role.

Study found a significant rise in electric scooter-related dental injuries in the UK from 2020 to 2022, with unprovoked falls being the most common cause, and many injuries linked to lack of helmet use and intoxication.

Researchers at the University of Toronto have found naturally occurring compounds in the gut that can be harnessed to reduce inflammation and other symptoms of digestive issues.

New data reveals that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can be safely performed before, during, or after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD).

According to Rutgers Health researchers, training correctional officers in Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) for adults, a 7.5-hour national education program from the National Council of Mental Wellbeing, may help provide them with the necessary skills to effectively identify signs and symptoms of mental distress and advocate for incarcerated individuals facing mental health crises.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of blood cancer that forms in the soft marrow of the bones, typically attacking cells that would otherwise form the key component of the body's immunodefense system, white blood cells.

A team of chemists and bioengineers at Rice University and the University of Houston have achieved a significant milestone in their work to create a biomaterial that can be used to grow biological tissues outside the human body.

Activated T cells that carry a certain marker protein on their surface are controlled by natural killer (NK) cells, another cell type of the immune system.

Through a quirk of anatomy, women are especially prone to urinary tract infections, with almost half dealing with one at some point in their lives.

The Wistar Institute assistant professor Filippo Veglia, Ph.D., and team, have discovered a key mechanism of how glioblastoma -; a serious and often fatal brain cancer -; suppresses the immune system so that the tumor can grow unimpeded by the body's defenses.
