More than 300,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer globally each year.

A new study published in Molecular Psychiatry reveals that the biological underpinnings of autism and ADHD may transcend traditional diagnostic boundaries.

Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have demonstrated that doxycycline, a commonly available and inexpensive antibiotic, can improve survival rates and neurological outcomes in Central Nervous System Tuberculosis (CNS-TB) in a preclinical non-human study.

Teachers in the UK report increased confidence in addressing vaping, but ongoing confusion about its dangers indicates a need for improved prevention materials.

Research on oat protein nanofibril-iron hybrids highlights their potential to significantly improve iron absorption, tackling global nutritional deficiencies.

A large UK survey of adults with type 2 diabetes found that most prefer flexible, food-based diets—particularly moderate calorie restriction or low-carbohydrate plans, over formula-based regimens. Preferences varied by age, lifestyle, and desired outcomes, underscoring the need for personalized dietary support.

Researchers have long established that hormones significantly affect the brain, creating changes in emotion, energy levels, and decision-making. However, the intricacies of these processes are not well understood.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) represents an escalating healthcare burden across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region; however, system-level preparedness remains largely undefined.

Anxiety disorders are some of the most common mental health conditions in America, affecting about one in five people nationwide.

Italian researchers reviewed the chemical composition and biological potential of truffles, identifying them as rich sources of antioxidants, polysaccharides, sterols, and vitamins. The review highlights their promise as functional foods and natural therapeutics, while emphasizing the need for sustainable cultivation and clinical validation.

Researchers at the University of Southampton have identified a new subtype of lymphoma which could pave the way to improved and more targeted treatments for some blood cancer patients.

New research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has revealed a striking disconnect between how recreational athletes perceive their health and fitness, and how they feel about their bodies.

Researchers reviewed nine systematic reviews on paracetamol use during pregnancy and found that while some studies suggested links to ADHD or autism, the evidence was of low quality and confounded by shared familial factors. Sibling-controlled analyses showed no causal relationship between prenatal paracetamol exposure and neurodevelopmental disorders in children.

A research team including a scientist of Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan, has identified a novel principle in biology that mathematically explains why the growth of organisms slows as nutrients become more abundant-a phenomenon known as "the law of diminishing returns."

Adding the PCSK9 inhibitor evolocumab to standard lipid-lowering therapy significantly reduced first major cardiovascular events in adults with atherosclerosis or high-risk diabetes who had never had a heart attack or stroke. The 4.6-year study confirmed durable safety and benefit, supporting earlier, more intensive LDL cholesterol control.

While the exact causes of neurodegenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia are still largely unknown, researchers have been able to identify a key characteristic in affected brains: reduced blood flow.

Infants born deaf or hard of hearing show adverse changes in how their brains organize and specialize, but exposure to sound and language may help them develop more normally, according to new research.

Cancer Center at Illinois (CCIL) Program Leader Erik Nelson's lab made an important discovery about the relationship between cholesterol and breast cancer progression with crucial implications for breast cancer therapeutics.

Can a simple daily audio hypnosis session help women find relief from one of menopause's most disruptive symptoms – hot flashes – without medication? A new clinical trial led by Baylor University's Gary R. Elkins, Ph.D., professor of psychology and neuroscience and director of the Mind-Body Medicine Research Laboratory, suggests it can.

The way we speak in everyday conversation may hold important clues about brain health, according to new research from Baycrest, the University of Toronto and York University.
