Years before tau tangles show up in brain scans of patients with Alzheimer's disease, a biomarker test developed at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine can detect small amounts of the clumping-prone tau protein and its misfolded pathological forms that litter the brain, cerebrospinal fluid and potentially blood, new research published today in Nature Medicine suggests.

A new mathematical model sheds light on how the brain processes different cues, such as sights and sounds, during decision making.

The study finds a connection between trauma and endometriosis, suggesting that addressing psychological factors could improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes.

Microplastics pose a threat to heart health, causing harmful changes in vascular cells and increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases like atherosclerosis.

Screening for risk factors of ovarian cancer using artificial intelligence, UniSA researchers found that the oral contraceptive pill reduced the risk of ovarian cancer by 26% among women who had ever used the Pill, and by 43% for women who had used the Pill after the age of 45.

In just a decade, the drug-resistant fungal pathogen Candida auris (C. auris) has emerged as one of the most formidable threats to health care settings worldwide.

A systematic review finds that following the Mediterranean diet is linked to better physical, mental, and social well-being, particularly in aging populations and those with chronic conditions.

AI-enabled ECG biological age (ECG-BA) improves disease risk classification beyond chronological age, enhancing early detection of aging-related conditions like heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and cancer.

Researchers developed a ‘periodic cooking’ method using alternating hot and cold water cycles to cook eggs evenly while preserving nutrients and optimizing texture.

As many as 40% of Americans are obese, putting them at an increased risk for high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, heart disease and certain cancers, according to the CDC.

Doctors at Queen Mary University of London, Barts Health NHS Trust, and University College London have led the development of a simple, minimally invasive Targeted Thermal Therapy (Triple T) that has the potential to transform medical management of a common, but commonly overlooked, cause of high blood pressure.

Five years removed from the COVID-19 outbreak, scientists around the world are still studying its effects and, more importantly, ways those effects can be mitigated in the future.

Removing a blood clot from a large brain artery, then injecting the clot-dissolving drug tenecteplase into the artery resulted in stroke survivors being more likely to have better function 90 days after their stroke than those receiving standard clot removal, according to preliminary late-breaking science presented today at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2025.

The clot-dissolving medication, alteplase, improved stroke patients' recovery by more than 50% when given up to 24 hours after the beginning of an ischemic stroke, according to preliminary late-breaking science presented today at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2025.
