Researchers studying antimicrobial-resistant E. coli – the leading cause of human death due to antimicrobial resistance worldwide – have identified a mechanism in dogs that may render multiple antibiotic classes ineffective.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary malignancy of the liver and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Early detection and accurate diagnosis are crucial for effective management and improved survival rates.

Cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CARASIL) is a rare, severe, and deadly genetic disorder characterized by damage to small blood vessels in the brain and which triggers strokes.

An international research collaboration, led by Prof. Dr. Robert Grosse (Centre for Integrative Biological Signalling Studies and Institute of Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Freiburg), Dr. Libor Macurek (Institute of Molecular Genetics, Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague) and Dr. Zdenek Lansky (Institute of Biotechnology, Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague) has uncovered a new mechanism of the crosstalk between microtubules and actin cytoskeleton during cell division and revealed unique characteristics of the previously unexplored protein FAM110A.

Preeclampsia (PE) is a significant contributor to the increase in maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide, with particularly alarming numbers in the United States, where it affects about 2–8% of pregnancies, resulting in premature birth with associated morbidities for their infants as well.

Researchers compared nicotine absorption among children exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke, secondhand vapor, and those with no exposure.

Researchers reviewed and meta-analyzed the randomized clinical trials (RCTs) assessing the effects of Mediterranean diet -based interventions on cardiometabolic biomarkers in children and adolescents.

The Duchossois Family Institute (DFI) at the University of Chicago can manufacture clinical-grade encapsulated bacteria – catalyzing opportunities to better understand the microbiome and its myriad of roles in human health.

Emerging personalized treatment approaches for chronic urticari.

Recent research highlights that omega-3 fatty acids significantly reduce acne severity. Supplementation and a Mediterranean diet improved skin condition in most study participants.

Researchers found that adherence and persistence in T2D patients using oral semaglutide is similar to DPP-4i, but semaglutide users required fewer concurrent medications, indicating higher long-term efficacy.

Researchers in China found significant associations between obesity and reduced semen quality in men, with the greatest declines in those with severe obesity. The study emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy weight for male reproductive health.

A network of proteins found in the central nervous system could be harnessed to increase the effectiveness and reduce the side effects of popular diabetes and weight-loss drugs, according to new research from the University of Michigan.

Researchers found that a low-glycemic index Mediterranean diet improves some aspects of health-related quality of life but not sleep in adults at risk for type 2 diabetes.

A groundbreaking study conducted at the lab of Beth Stevens, PhD, at Boston Children's Hospital has revealed that an immune protein impacts neuronal protein synthesis in the aging brain.

An "unconventional" immune response now identified by scientists from the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery and Innovation (CDI) is a potential new pathway for developing new vaccines for tuberculosis (TB), according to a new publication.

Researchers found moderate evidence of a U-shaped link between serum magnesium levels and dementia, but more studies are needed to clarify magnesium's role in cognitive health.

If a man and a woman each suffer a heart attack, you may assume the symptoms and diagnoses should be the same.

Investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have uncovered new details about the role of a protein called interferon regulatory factor (IRF1) in cancer progression and treatment response, offering new insight that can potentially help improve the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy.

Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have found that children living in areas with high levels of deprivation are three times more likely to have severe tooth decay that requires a dental extraction in hospital, compared with children living in more affluent areas.
