Severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outcomes in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs).

A whole-organism molecular map of the temporal effects of endurance training in rats.

New data demonstrate the superiority of radial arterial access compared to femoral arterial access for coronary interventions.

Inulin, a type of fiber found in certain plant-based foods and fiber supplements, causes inflammation in the gut and exacerbates inflammatory bowel disease in a preclinical model, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

A type of cell responsible for repairing damaged liver tissue has been uncovered for the first time by a team of scientists, including Professor Rajiv Jalan (UCL Liver & Digestive Health).

An article published in The Faseb Journal describes a Brazilian study analyzing the correlation between two key energy metabolism regulation processes: the absorption and release of calcium ions by mitochondria, the organelles that generate energy for cells; and autophagy induced by calorie restriction. Autophagy occurs when cells break down and reuse their own cytoplasm.

A new study from Trinity College Dublin scientists sheds light on the complexities of achieving optimal vitamin D status across diverse populations.

Study shows that disruptions in the gut microbiota of male mice can negatively affect offspring health, leading to growth issues and increased mortality. However, restoring the father's microbiota before conception may prevent these problems.

A study in the journal Nutrients explored the perceptions of healthy eating among Spanish undergraduate students in nutrition and food science programs, revealing differences by gender and academic year.

Some neurological disorders can be improved through photobiomodulation, a non-invasive technique based on the application of low-intensity light to stimulate altered functions in specific regions of the body.

A recent study in the Journal of the American Heart Association reveals that provoked anger, but not sadness or anxiety, acutely impairs endothelial function, shedding light on the link between anger and cardiovascular events.

Discovered in the 1970s, circadian clocks are essential for the regulation of biological time in most cells in the human body.

Blood vessels in the lungs aren't like the others in the body. This difference becomes clear in pulmonary hypertension, in which only the lungs' blood vessels stiffen progressively, leading to chronic lung disease, heart failure and death.

A recent study explores how adolescents perceive and consume ultra-processed foods during screen time, revealing the strong influence of social, environmental, and psychological factors on these behaviors.

A recent study in Nutrients links flavonoid intake to improved cognitive function, though findings indicate further research is needed to understand its impact across diverse populations.

The Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine is now accepting applicants for an observational trial focused on fertilized anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

The gut microbiota is the microbial community that occupies the gastrointestinal tract. It is responsible for producing enzymes, metabolites, and other molecules crucial for host metabolism and in response to the environment.

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

During the past 40 years, the gap between rich and poor Americans has continued to widen in terms of health and mortality, as well as income.
