Chemists from the University of Warwick and Monash University have discovered a promising new antibiotic that shows activity against drug-resistant bacterial pathogens, including MRSA and VRE.

Maternal peanut and peanut butter consumption during pregnancy and breastfeeding shaped DNA methylation patterns in children, particularly in genes regulating neurodevelopment and inflammation. These findings suggest maternal diet can prime offspring epigenetic sensitivity to breastfeeding duration.

Study reveals that group B [FeFe]-hydrogenase is the primary enzyme driving fermentative hydrogen production in the healthy human gut, mainly through Bacteroides species. These genes are significantly depleted in Crohn’s disease, indicating a metabolic shift and altered hydrogen cycling dominated by respiratory bacteria

Using a new time-resolved Mendelian randomization approach in over 360,000 UK Biobank participants, Karlsson et al. revealed that the causal impact of obesity changes across life, with distinct age- and sex-specific risk patterns for diabetes, heart disease, atrial fibrillation, and osteoarthritis.

Older Japanese adults who ate cheese at least once a week had a 21–24% lower risk of developing dementia over three years. The association remained significant even after adjusting for lifestyle and socioeconomic factors, suggesting a modest but meaningful protective effect.

New study results from a large international all-comer population of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) candidates found that utilizing a strategy of sirolimus-eluting balloons with bailout stenting only if necessary was noninferior to routine drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation as part of the treatment for de novo coronary artery disease.

A University of Massachusetts Amherst public health researcher has received four grants totaling $17.9 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to continue groundbreaking research that implemented and assessed medical treatment programs for incarcerated people with opioid use disorder, as well as develop a new program for HIV prevention and treatment.

Organ donation following medical assistance in dying (MAiD), also known as euthanasia, is a relatively new practice both in North America and worldwide.

Simple, low-cost interventions could help reduce heat stress for the millions of people who work in garment factories in Bangladesh, where extreme temperatures make conditions unbearable, according to Australian researchers.

Updated COVID-19 vaccines are still providing effective protection against infection, emergency department visits, hospitalization and death, according to new research published today in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Children can sometimes develop health, behavioral, and attachment issues that persist when their needs are not met by their caregiver.

Using psychedelics to treat psychiatric diseases has become less controversial as scientists continue to reveal their underlying mechanisms.

Difficulty completing everyday tasks. Failing memory. Unusually poor concentration.

New Cleveland Clinic research reveals that up to 5% of Americans – approximately 17 million people – carry genetic mutations or "variants" linked to increased cancer susceptibility, regardless of risk factors like personal or family cancer history.

In a new study, researchers found high levels of ultrashort-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in blood samples taken from Wilmington, N.C. residents between 2010-2016.

A major new study, which has recently begun recruiting, is hoped to lead to earlier detection of lung cancers.

Self-affirmations – brief exercises in which people reflect on their core values, identity and positive traits – can increase people's general well-being and make them happier in small but significant ways, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.

A new research paper documents the outcomes of five volunteers who continued to receive 40Hz light and sound stimulation for around two years after participating in an MIT early-stage clinical study of the potential Alzheimer's disease therapy.

A new research paper was published in Volume 17, Issue 9 of Aging-US on September 17, 2025, titled "Depletion of the TRF1 telomere-binding protein leads to leaner mice with altered metabolic profiles."

Older adults face a high risk of isolation, especially after they retire. A recent study from the University of Georgia suggests smartphones, computers and tablets may help older adults stay connected.
