New research from UCLA Health reveals that women continue to face barriers in accessing lung transplants compared to men, despite recent national policy changes aimed at making organ distribution more equitable.

A test deployed in many fertility clinics to assess the viability of embryos for use in IVF is likely to overestimate the number of embryos with abnormalities, suggests a study published today.

Using data from over 120,000 U.S. children, this Pediatrics study found that the prevalence and risk of peanut and other IgE-mediated food allergies declined significantly after the 2015 and 2017 guidelines promoting early allergen introduction. The findings support these policies as effective public health measures to prevent food allergies in real-world settings.

Researchers tested methanolic extracts from the leaves, bark, roots, stems, and fruits of Ziziphus mauritiana (Bidara) and found the leaves had the strongest antibacterial and antifungal effects. The study highlights the plant’s antimicrobial potential while emphasizing the need for further bioactive compound identification and toxicity testing.

A new trial will evaluate whether integrating autonomous AI screening for diabetic retinopathy into U.S. federally qualified health centers can boost screening completion and accelerate early detection. The DRES-POCAI protocol tests a real-world, point-of-care model that links FDA-cleared AI with electronic health records to close gaps in diabetes eye care.

A new case–control study found that women with stronger adherence to the Mediterranean diet had dramatically lower odds of endometriosis. Diets rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, and legumes were protective, while higher intakes of meat, dairy, and refined whole grains were linked to increased risk.

A Polish study comparing insulin pump technologies in children with type 1 diabetes found that advanced hybrid closed-loop systems achieved superior glycemic stability compared to predictive low glucose suspend systems. Despite technological advances, poor diet and low physical activity still undermine optimal metabolic control.

A 16-year study in the European Heart Journal found that sudden cardiac death (SCD) was the leading cause of death among female bodybuilding athletes. While overall mortality was half that of men, women still had a markedly higher SCD risk than other female athletes, highlighting the need for stricter health oversight and PED monitoring.

Triple-negative breast cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers. The name tells the story: It lacks the three main targets that make other types of breast cancers more treatable with powerful therapies.

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have found that hunger can make virgin female mice aggressive towards pups, but only in certain hormonal states.

More than 50% of lung-transplant recipients experience a rejection of their new lung within five years of receiving it, yet the reason why this is such a prevalent complication has remained a medical mystery.

Scientists have long sought measurable signs in the body, called biomarkers, that reliably reveal our biological age or predict future health issues.

A new paper in Rheumatology, published by Oxford University Press, finds that retired UK male professional football players who reported foot or ankle injuries during their careers were more likely to develop osteoarthritis in retirement.

Every day, your brain makes thousands of decisions under uncertainty. Most of the time, you guess right. When you don't, you learn. But when the brain's ability to judge context or assign meaning falters, thoughts and behavior can go astray.

Feeding in mammals is controlled by a complex neural system. Although several key neural pathways related to total calorie intake have been extensively studied, it is still unclear how food choices are regulated and how they influence overall feeding behavior.

A new case report was published in Volume 12 of Oncoscience on October 6, 2025, titled "A peculiar case of primary lymphoma of pancreas: A rare presentation of Hodgkin lymphoma."

Three copies of chromosome 21 causes Down syndrome (DS), and roughly half of children born each year in the United States with DS-approximately 2,600-also have congenital heart defects (CHDs).

When harmful bacteria that cause food poisoning, such as E. coli, invade through the digestive tract, gut cells usually fight back by pushing infected cells out of the body to stop the infection from spreading.

Nearly half of all babies born with Down syndrome face congenital heart defects, often involving serious malformations that require surgery in the first months of life.

Scientists at the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia, have discovered that the protein CENP-E, long believed to act as a motor dragging chromosomes into place during cell division, in fact plays a completely different role in chromosome movement.
