Do you have a memory so vivid you can relive it as if it's happening all over again, re-experiencing the physical sensations and emotions just as you did in that moment?

Immediate skin-to-skin contact between newborns and their mothers offers a better start in life, improving a number of key health metrics, according to a newly updated Cochrane review.

While artificial intelligence (AI)-powered screening has been validated for diabetic retinopathy, applying the technology to glaucoma has proved more challenging because glaucoma is not one disease. A glaucoma diagnosis is based on a constellation of symptoms, diagnostic tests, and longitudinal data.

A study published in Science Advances by University of Utah Health researchers sheds light on the long-term effects of the ketogenic diet, raising important questions about its safety and efficacy for improving metabolic health.

A new Gerontological Society of America report, "Concentric Value of Vaccination: Intersecting Health, Economic, and Societal Benefits," provides evidence on the advantages of immunization for individual and population health, economic outcomes, and societal well-being.

Prostate cancer relies on genetic "switches", called enhancers, that can turn on tumor-promoting genes.

Any parent will tell you that raising a child isn't easy. While the experience can be filled with joy and love and fulfilment, emotional, financial and marital stress will present challenges to any family.

Measuring how well blood flows to the brain is crucial for understanding a wide range of neurological issues, from strokes to migraines to traumatic brain injuries. Obtaining such measurements noninvasively, however, remains a challenge. The scalp and skull not only obstruct viewing the brain directly but also have their own blood supply, further complicating cerebral blood flow measurements.

Daily consumption of freeze-dried strawberries for 12 weeks improved antioxidant defense, reduced inflammation, and lowered fasting glucose in adults with prediabetes. The randomized crossover trial highlights strawberries’ potential as a simple, food-based strategy to enhance metabolic and vascular health.

Early-pregnancy home blood pressure patterns reveal that even small cumulative elevations, not just high averages, raise the risk of low birth weight. Tracking daily readings above thresholds may improve early warning and maternal–fetal outcomes.

Researchers have identified Limosilactobacillus mucosae and Ligilactobacillus ruminis as human gut bacteria capable of producing serotonin by decarboxylating 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). Their activity enhances intestinal motility and enteric nerve density, linking microbial serotonin synthesis to gut function and potential IBS mechanisms.

Researchers provide a comprehensive overview of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), detailing its cellular architecture, transport mechanisms, and role in protecting the brain from toxins. The paper highlights how BBB dysfunction contributes to neurological diseases and explores emerging technologies to overcome drug delivery challenges.

People with obesity who also have high muscle mass may be less likely to have obesity-related organ damage.

A major study has found that babies born between eight to ten weeks early can be fed with milk through a tube in their stomach straight after birth rather than being given intravenous feeds through a drip.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes paralysis in roughly one million people worldwide, with incident cases rising yearly.

The prevalence of metabolic syndrome, a dangerous and potentially deadly condition, increases with menopause.

Brain connectivity patterns and environmental factors predict which older adults will successfully increase physical activity after receiving a cardiovascular diagnosis.

The ability of immune cells-particularly CD8+ T cells-to launch a rapid burst of proliferation inside tumors is key to the success of modern day cancer immunotherapies.

Know someone who's been diagnosed with breast cancer? There's a good chance that person has received hormone therapy.

New longitudinal research reveals that severe stress caused by changes in family structure like divorce or separation experienced during the first year of life may triple the risk of developing psoriasis later in life.
