Researchers investigate the underlying mechanisms of endothelial insulin resistance involved in obesity-associated diabetes.

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism - a novel genomically recoded organism (GRO) with one stop codon - using a cellular platform that they developed enabling the production of new classes of synthetic proteins. These synthetic proteins, researchers say, offer the promise of innumerable medical and industrial applications that can benefit society and human health.

Around 1 in 5 UK medical students considers dropping out of medical school, with mental health issues a key contributor to their intention to abandon medicine, suggest the results of an observational study published in the open access journal BMJ Open.

The use of fertility-tracking technology increased in some states after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade despite warnings that reproduction-related data might not be secure, a new study has found.

Despite extensive research, the origins of COVID-19 remain elusive.

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen-like perception, thinking, memory storage and decision-making.

Despite decades of efforts, tuberculosis remains a global health crisis, claiming over 1.3 million lives annually.

A first-of-its-kind study provides a snapshot of the substantial mental health burden on nurses around the world.

Opioid prescriptions in the emergency department (ED) were associated with small increases in later opioid prescriptions and hospital admissions, found new research published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) https://www.cmaj.ca/lookup/doi/10.1503/cmaj.241542.

Why do our mental images stay sharp even when we are moving fast? A team of neuroscientists led by Professor Maximilian Jösch at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) has identified a mechanism that corrects visual distortions caused by movement in animals.

Adults with high levels of playfulness showed strong resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to less playful individuals, new research shows.

Integrated care – a coordinated approach that addresses patients' physical, mental and social health needs – has been shown to improve patient outcomes, reduce health care costs and address health disparities.

Researchers found that gut microbiome composition is strongly linked to metabolic health across different life stages, with greater effects seen in older adults.

A new study led by researchers at the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute found that a 2019 Medicare opioid safety policy showed initial reductions in opioid prescribing to high-risk populations.

A poorly positioned menstrual cup to capture monthly blood flow may lead to more serious complications than leakage alone, warn doctors in the journal BMJ Case Reports, after treating a young woman with uterohydronephrosis-a swollen kidney caused by blocked urine flow into the bladder.
