High-risk neuroblastoma is one of the most aggressive forms of solid tumors affecting children, originating in the nervous system.

Nearly one-third of U.S. adults report sleeping less than seven hours a night, below the minimum amount recommended for most adults, while nearly one in five has trouble staying asleep most days or every day.

Researchers at the Greenwood Genetic Center (GGC) led the discovery of an unexpected connection between inherited blindness and a gene known for causing a rare metabolic disorder.

Understanding and treating chronic neuropathic pain has remained challenging due to its complex nature. New research from the lab of Clifford Woolf, MB, BCh, PhD, at Boston Children's Hospital's FM Kirby Neurobiology Center describes a novel approach for reducing pain by disrupting interactions within pain-sensing nerve cells called nociceptors

The timing of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery is a critical factor in preserving cognitive function for Parkinson's disease patients with a specific genetic mutation, according to a new study by an international team of researchers.

A new research paper was recently published in Volume 18 of Aging, titled "Spatially fractionated mini-GRID radiotherapy differentially modulates radiation-induced senescence in murine glioma and normal cells."

Critical Path Institute (C-Path) today announced a research collaboration with the University of Arizona to investigate the cellular mechanisms that drive Parkinson's disease in women.

Ischemic stroke can leave lasting neurological damage after the initial vascular event, with oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, neuronal death, and disruption of neural connectivity contributing to impaired recovery.

New modeling led by interdisciplinary scientists at the University of British Columbia (UBC) could help public health officials better factor in the long-term impacts of infectious disease when determining optimum vaccine coverage rates.

Early gastric cancer (EGC) represents the most critical yet biologically least understood stage in gastric carcinogenesis.

Just days of e-cigarette vapor exposure can injure the lungs' most delicate tissue and leave it more vulnerable to viral infection, according to a study led by National Jewish Health researchers and published in JCI Insight.

Our birthdays tell us how long we have lived, but not necessarily how our bodies are aging. Biological age reflects the condition and function of our cells and tissues, shaped by genetics, lifestyle, environment, and disease.

Low back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide, according to the World Health Organization.

In hypophosphatasia, a rare inherited condition that weakens bones and teeth, early tooth loss can be the first, or even the only obvious sign.

People who are overweight or obese when they are diagnosed with dementia are likely to live longer than those in a normal weight range, according to a new study by Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and NYU School of Global Public Health.

In a new study, researchers modeled the transmission of Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) infections among patients in hospital cancer units.

Terumo Corporation today announced the global commercial launch of its K-Pack Embrace™ active safety needle. The new safety injection needle is packaged in a rigid cap and case container, designed to facilitate the downstream co-packing processes and protect the needle through the product life cycle until the point of use.

Chronic exposure to cigarette smoke may reprogram different populations of lung stem cells, which maintain and repair lung tissue, in ways that make them vulnerable to specific cancer-causing gene alterations and ultimately helps determine the type of lung cancer that develops.

Vaccine perceptions can influence acceptance and uptake. Dr. Dror Walter, with the Department of Communication at Georgia State University in Atlanta, and colleagues examined these perceptions using data from a national probability sample of 1,763 US adults surveyed in November 2024.

Cranberry juice's effectiveness against UTIs varies among women due to metabolic differences, impacting urinary anti-adhesion activity and pathogen response.
