Wisdom Bioscience establishes Scientific Advisory Board to advance oral cancer diagnostics and screening
Wisdom Bioscience, Inc., a biotechnology company pioneering non-invasive oral cancer diagnostics, today announced the formation of its Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) following the close of an initial funding round.
Living in deprived neighborhoods reshapes the gut microbiome
This study reveals links between socioeconomic deprivation and gut microbiome changes, highlighting potential pathways to mental and metabolic health issues.
Ultraprocessed foods are engineered like cigarettes
The parallels between ultraprocessed foods and tobacco raise concerns about addiction and health risks, urging policymakers to implement effective regulations.
Forecasting disease intensity through genomic risk
Approximately 60,000 Danes live with chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Some experience limited discomfort, while others go through a debilitating disease course involving surgery and a stoma. Add to this the fear of leaving home due to urgent toilet needs.
Targeted fluorescent probes for high-contrast cancer detection
Cancer is a universal issue that affects uncountably many people around the world. Many will turn to surgery in the hope that a surgeon will be able to completely remove a tumor, leaving healthy tissues unaffected. Various tools and techniques have been developed over the years to improve the way these surgeries are performed, and visual imaging methods such as glowing dyes have proven to be very useful.
The surprising neurological benefits of GLP-1s
For people with chronic migraine, taking glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, or GLP-1 drugs, for other conditions such as diabetes and weight loss, was associated with fewer emergency department visits and hospitalizations overall, and with less need for medications used to stop and prevent migraine attacks, according to a preliminary study released March 1, 2026, that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 78th Annual Meeting taking place April 18-22, 2026, in Chicago and online.
A new standard for preventing post-surgery kidney cancer relapse
Patients with a common form of kidney cancer called clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) who have a high risk of recurrence after surgery showed significantly improved disease-free survival when treated with an oral combination regimen that includes belzutifan, a HIF-2α inhibitor, given with standard immune therapy pembrolizumab.
Common cardio drugs proven safe in myeloma patients
Commonly prescribed cardiovascular medications—such as statins, diuretics, and blood pressure drugs—appear to have little or no negative impact on survival among people living with multiple myeloma, according to new international research.
Investigating microglia’s role in Alzheimer’s pathology
Announcing a new article publication for BIO Integration journal. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder and the leading cause of dementia worldwide. Microglia, as central nervous system (CNS) resident macrophages, are key to AD pathology. Indeed, microglia aggregation around amyloid-β (Aβ) deposits is an AD hallmark.
Decoding the brain’s love for tempting snacks
Research from the University of East Anglia (UEA) may finally explain why we still reach for the biscuit tin, even when we're full.
Machine learning predicts who will decline faster in Alzheimer’s disease using routine clinic data
Researchers developed and validated ElasticNet machine learning models that predict 12-month MMSE and BADL outcomes in Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment using routinely collected clinical data. The cognitive model demonstrated external validation in ADNI, showing that individualized progression forecasting is feasible without biomarkers or neuroimaging.
Living near nuclear power plants is associated with higher cancer mortality, national US study reports
A nationwide ecological study of US counties from 2000 to 2018 found that greater proximity to operational nuclear power plants was associated with higher cancer mortality rates, particularly among adults aged 65–74 years. The analysis used inverse-distance weighting within 200 km and adjusted for demographic, socioeconomic, environmental, and healthcare factors, but did not measure individual radiation exposure.
How zinc deficiency could worsen heart inflammation and what that means for patients
This review examines how zinc regulates inflammatory and redox signaling pathways involved in myocarditis and pericarditis, highlighting mechanisms such as NF-κB inhibition and the redox zinc switch. The authors conclude that maintaining optimal zinc status may support cardiovascular resilience, while emphasizing that clinical translation requires further targeted trials.
Higher tyrosine levels linked to shorter lifespan in major UK Biobank analysis
Researchers analyzed over 272,000 UK Biobank participants and used Mendelian randomization to investigate whether circulating phenylalanine and tyrosine influence lifespan. Genetically predicted higher tyrosine levels were linked to shorter lifespan, particularly in men, while phenylalanine showed no independent effect after adjustment.
Study aims to understand molecular origins of CTNNB1 neurodevelopmental syndrome
On the occasion of Rare Disease Day, the Biofisika Institute (CSIC, EHU) presents the progress of a project aimed at understanding the molecular origin of CTNNB1 neurodevelopmental syndrome, a rare disease caused by mutations in the beta-catenin protein.
Study maps how NF-κB regulates gene expression in cells
To further the quantitative understanding of cellular decision making, Dr. Gregory Reeves and his team in the chemical engineering department have worked to interpret how a transcription factor dictates the alteration of gene expression in cells.
NIH grant funds evaluation of expanded Medicare Advantage benefits
Today, more than half of older Americans receive their Medicare coverage through private Medicare Advantage plans. In 2020, that program made a sweeping policy shift, allowing those plans to offer supplemental benefits beyond traditional medical care, including groceries, meal deliveries, utilities, transportation, pest control, and air filters.
NIH’s continued investment fuels TMJ pain research
Chronic pain is one of the most common health conditions worldwide. Back pain is the most frequently reported type, followed closely by head and face pain linked to the jaw joint, in the form of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder.
Colorful japonica rice varieties show unique health-promoting lipids
Rice feeds more than half of the world's population, yet we still only partly understand the nutrients it contains.
UCL study reveals environmental cost of dental nitrous oxide use
Nitrous oxide used for sedating patients during dental appointments has a significant environmental impact, with wide variation in use and wastage across the UK, according to a new study by UCL (University College London) researchers.
