Pet cats may be excellent animal models for the study of obesity origins and treatment in humans, a new study of feline gut microbes suggests – and both species would likely get healthier in the research process, scientists say.

Children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes are at significantly higher risk of a number of mental health issues, including mood and anxiety disorders, a study from a team in the UK and the Czech Republic has found.

Western diets pose a greater risk of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer, according to a milestone review of what people eat around the world.

Relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a so-called blood cancer, has an extremely poor prognosis because of resistance to anti-cancer drugs and frailty of the patient's organ functions.

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as the primary treatment strategy for severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) in the older population (>75 years of age) with high-risk surgical profiles.

In the brain, synaptic plasticity - the ability to change neuronal connections over time - is fundamental to learning and memory.

Platelets play an essential role in wound healing. Underproduction can cause devastating bleeding, while overproduction increases the deadly risk of thromboses.

Researchers use machine learning techniques to develop and test a predictive prognostic model to predict dementia early using real-world patient data.

Researchers investigates the effects of polyethylene terephthalate microplastics on the neuronal population in the porcine jejunum.

The prevalence of any gambling activity, specific gambling activities, risk gambling, and problematic gambling among adults and adolescents globally.

Scientists at the University of Sydney and Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine have made a remarkable discovery: a commonly used blood thinner, heparin, can be repurposed as an inexpensive antidote for cobra venom.

A new editorial paper was published in Oncotarget's Volume 15 on July 2, 2024, entitled, "Using early on-treatment circulating tumor DNA measurements as response assessment in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer."

The artificial sweetener content of children's commonly consumed food products.

You join a swing dance class, and at first you're all left feet. But – slowly, eyes glued to the teacher – you pick up a step or two and start to feel the rhythm of the big band beat. A good start.

A distinct signaling pathway called TNF-α drives the transformation of epithelial cells into aggressive tumor cells.

A new gene therapy treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy shows promise of not only arresting the decline of the muscles of those affected by this inherited genetic disease, but perhaps, in the future, repairing those muscles.

Most influenza viruses enter human or animal cells through specific pathways on the cells' surface. Researchers at the University of Zurich have now discovered that certain human flu viruses and avian flu viruses can also use a second entry pathway, a protein complex of the immune system, to infect cells.

Researchers compared the distribution of sialic acid receptors in the respiratory tract and mammary glands of dairy cattle naturally infected with the highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) virus.

A recent study has developed nanovesicles (NVs) from activated neutrophils, showcasing their ability to perform molecular debridement and accelerate healing in infectious wounds.

​A drug commonly used to treat cystic fibrosis improved outcomes for patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia and could be used to treat other respiratory infections, according to clinical trial results from researchers at UCL, UCLH and the Francis Crick Institute.
