Digital memory test and a blood sample - this combination will be tested for its potential to identify early Alzheimer's disease in a new research study. Over a hundred healthcare centers are part of the study that is now inviting participants to sign up. At least 3,000, preferably many more participants are needed for the study to be successful.

A recent study in eClinicalMedicine assesses whether individuals with diabetes are more susceptible to developing long COVID, analyzing a UK cohort to explore the prolonged impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection in this population.

Researchers at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson were awarded a $1.8 million grant by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, a division of the National Institutes of Health, to learn how human papillomavirus makes its way to a cell's nucleus.

A study in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health links academic achievement goals to increased risk of depression in adolescents, suggesting that the pressure to outperform peers may heighten depressive symptoms.

Researchers demonstrate that small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) from young mice plasma can reverse aging effects in older mice by enhancing mitochondrial function and energy metabolism.

A study by the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and Biobizkaia proposes using an available, simple, non-invasive tool to monitor this neurodegeneration.

Liver inflammation, a common side-effect of cancers elsewhere in the body, has long been associated with worse cancer outcomes and more recently associated with poor response to immunotherapy.

​Epilepsy, where patients suffer from unexpected seizures, affects roughly 1% of the population. These seizures often involve repetitive and excessive neuronal firing, with the trigger behind this still poorly understood.

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have identified how proteins collect abnormally in neurons, a feature of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.

Blessed thistle (Cnicus benedictus) is a plant in the family Asteraceae and also grows in our climate. For centuries, it has been used as a medicinal herb as an extract or tea, e.g. to aid the digestive system.

While heavy drinking is a well-established risk factor for liver cancer, the specific mechanisms by which alcohol contributes to A-HCC remain unclear.

For the roughly 1.5 million Americans per year who survive a traumatic brain injury, health outcomes vary widely.

The dual role of sodium in water balance regulation and food formulation, noting its significant association with mortality due to excessive intake.

Previous studies in correctional facilities have shown positive effects of yoga on inmates. They experience increased impulse control and improved mental health.

In a new study published today in Nature Biomedical Engineering, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have designed a new method for developing immunotherapy drugs using engineered peptides to elicit a natural immune response inside the body.

In a discovery that could hasten treatment for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), UC San Francisco scientists have discovered a harbinger in the blood of some people who later went on to develop the disease.

Study compares the effects of traditional versus commercial Korean Doenjang on menopausal symptoms, finding that traditional variants with high beneficial microorganisms are more effective in reducing these symptoms and improving cardiovascular and gut health.

Researchers reveal how air pollution increases colorectal cancer (CRC) risk through epigenetic changes, using a large-scale study and Mendelian randomization to demonstrate ambient pollution’s impact on CRC mortality and incidence in China.

Researchers at eBioMedicine project that climate change will significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in China, with human-induced warming potentially causing up to 90% of heat-related CVD deaths by 2090.

Researchers utilized a large-scale unlabeled dataset from the U.K. Biobank to train deep-learning models for accurately monitoring physical activity through wearables, demonstrating enhanced accuracy and generalizability across diverse environments and devices.
