A new, comprehensive map of all the genes essential for blood infections in Plasmodium knowlesi (P. knowlesi), a parasite that causes malaria in humans, has been generated by researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and colleagues.

Mild electrical brain stimulation did not further improve motor recovery in stroke survivors, according to late-breaking science presented today at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2025.

University of Calgary's Hotchkiss Brain Institute researchers with the Calgary Stroke Program at Foothills Medical Centre revolutionized treatment for stroke with the ESCAPE Trial, proving that a clot retrieval procedure known as endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) can dramatically improve patient outcomes after an acute ischemic stroke caused by a blockage in a large-sized blood vessel.

Research indicates that salt substitutes reduce stroke recurrence and death risk, offering a safe dietary intervention for improving stroke patient outcomes.

Maternal vitamin D status in early pregnancy is crucial for fetal growth and may reduce the risk of preterm birth, according to recent research findings.

Researchers evaluate the effects of school phone use policies on adolescent mental health.

Researchers examine the association between sugar-sweetened beverage intake and gut microbiota-mediated changes that may mitigate the risk of diabetes.

Researchers identify key geographic and health factors that may predict the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant gonorrhea in the United States.

Research reveals that δ-receptor agonists like KNT-127 alleviate IBS symptoms by modulating gut-brain interactions and reducing stress-induced hypermotility.

Researchers explore the cellular and molecular adaptations associated with human secondary lymphoid tissue in adults during viral infection.

Research shows that classical music in the third trimester enhances fetal heart rate stability, potentially influencing neurodevelopment and movement patterns.

Despite new medication, cystic fibrosis often leads to permanent lung damage. Working with an international team, researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have discovered that the disease causes changes in the immune system early in life, presumably even in newborns.

Why do some people who consume a few glasses of alcohol a day develop advanced liver disease while others who drink the same amount don't?

The distinct population of endothelial cells that line blood vessels in the insulin-producing "islets" of the human pancreas have been notoriously difficult to study, but Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have now succeeded in comprehensively detailing the unique characteristics of these cells.

Fewer people than before are being diagnosed with and dying from cancer in Appalachia, but cancer incidence and death rates remain substantially higher, especially in certain areas of Central Appalachia, compared to elsewhere in the U.S.

Breast cancer is the world's most prevalent cancer. Although earlier detection and targeted treatment have resulted in high survival rates, many breast cancer survivors experience fear of cancer recurrence. For some survivors this fear is occasional, for others it is persistent and often debilitating.

In a groundbreaking theory, scientists at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute propose a unifying explanation for the molecular chaos driving Alzheimer's disease.

Warning signs at dispensaries about the potential health effects of cannabis use in pregnancy may not be effective, according to a new report in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, based at Rutgers University.

The hormone adrenomedullin disrupts insulin signaling in blood vessel cells, contributing to systemic insulin resistance in obesity-associated type 2 diabetes, according to a new study.

The University of Barcelona has participated in an international study that has found new evidence linking traumatic experiences and stressful events with endometriosis, a chronic systemic inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus.
