Owning a smartphone before age 13 is associated with poorer mind health and wellbeing in early adulthood, according to a global study of more than 100,000 young people.

Researchers at the University of Oxford and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have uncovered the mechanism by which cells identify and repair a highly toxic form of DNA damage that causes cancer, neurodegeneration, and premature aging.

Popular GLP-1 drugs help many people drop tremendous amounts of weight, but the drugs fail to provide a key improvement in heart and lung function essential for long-term good health, University of Virginia experts warn in a new paper.

Recent research shows that your brain doesn't pay attention in one smooth stream-instead, it switches focus in quick bursts, about 8 times per second.

Some autistic teens often adopt behaviors to mask their diagnosis in social settings helping them be perceived - or "pass" - as non-autistic.

A study comparing the gene expression signature of Alzheimer's disease with those elicited by 1,300 approved drugs found a combination of two cancer medications that could treat the most common form of dementia.

Transitioning from diapers to the toilet is a major step for young children - and their parents.

In a groundbreaking study, a research team at KAIST has uncovered a gut-brain circuit that enables the brain to selectively recognize glucose—beyond simply registering total caloric intake.

Gaining insights into the complex pathways and key cell populations involved in immune dysregulation can aid the development of therapeutic approaches to treat polytrauma, which is associated with poor patient outcomes.

Study shows erythritol adversely affects brain microvascular cells, increasing oxidative stress and impairing nitric oxide production, linked to stroke risk.

A new genetic analysis using data from over five million people has provided a clearer understanding of the risk of going on to live with obesity.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a deadly cancer with particularly high prevalence in East Asia.

Findings on sperm RNA suggest new biomarkers for IVF success, potentially improving embryo selection and reducing cycles needed for desired fertility outcomes.

This review explores how creatine, HMB, prebiotics, and probiotics may support muscle and bone health in older adults with osteosarcopenia. While creatine shows the strongest evidence, all interventions require further research to determine their optimal use.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are transforming acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) management, enabling earlier detection, precision risk stratification, and tailored therapies. Emerging AI techniques promise to improve outcomes, but real-world clinical validation and integration remain critical challenges.

Dairy products, especially low-fat and fortified goat milk, significantly improved muscle mass, reduced inflammation, and positively modulated gut microbiota in a mouse model of sarcopenia. These findings suggest tailored dairy interventions could help delay age-related muscle loss.

DeNovix announces the release of three new cell counting applications for the CellDrop FLxi Automated Cell Counter.

A meta-analysis of nearly 3.9 million participants shows people with allergies have significantly lower odds of developing lung cancer. Allergic rhinitis is particularly protective, while eczema’s effect appears limited to men.

A new meta-analysis shows that probiotic supplements can modestly improve sleep quality and reduce depressive symptoms in people with insomnia, with no significant safety concerns. However, effects on total sleep time and sleep efficiency remain uncertain, and evidence strength varies across outcomes.

Repetitive reaching tasks in mature female rats triggered persistent pain-like and sickness behaviors linked to a surge in IL-6-driven inflammation throughout muscles, blood, and the brain. These findings reveal how overuse injuries provoke both physical and mood-related symptoms through a neuroimmune cascade.
