Researchers at the Advanced Research Unit on Metabolism, Development & Aging (ARUMDA), in the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR, Mumbai and TIFR Hyderabad), have unveiled a comprehensive understanding of the harmful effects of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) on human health, using a preclinical mouse model that closely mimics human consumption patterns.

Almost half of patients diagnosed with depression classify as being 'treatment-resistant' as new research suggests that many don't respond to multiple antidepressant options.

Though we learn so much during our first years of life, we can't, as adults, remember specific events from that time.

A recent study by the University of Eastern Finland Business School indicates that elderly neurological patients show a willingness to accept remote monitoring (RM) in the home environment even in the pre-implementation phase.

​The UPV/EHU study, recently published in the journal Scientific Reports, has analyzed and compared the fatty acids in the blood of individuals with schizophrenia, of those with cannabis use disorder and of those with both diagnoses, with the aim of shedding light on new biomarkers and improving the understanding of the biological relationship between the two disorders.

Every second, an adult generates around five million new blood cells to replace aging or dying ones, making the blood system a highly regenerative organ.

Having lost a great deal of weight appears to offer some protection against ill health even for those who have regained some of their weight loss.

Since 2021, when lung cancer screening guidelines began to include younger people and those with a lower smoking history, the number of screenings climbed, but significant gaps remain, especially among people with limited access to healthcare, according to a new study led by researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the urgent need for effective therapeutic agents against SARS-CoV-2.

Genetic information collected through research studies like Geisinger's MyCode Community Health Initiative can provide important-and previously unknown-information to participants about their risk for disease.

A team of researchers from Cleveland Clinic Genomic Medicine share insights from an early set of 19,000 patients to receive immune checkpoint inhibitor treatments for colorectal cancer in the U.S.

A large scale study by researchers from the Regenstrief Institute and the Indiana University School of Medicine has found that patient pain upon arrival to the Emergency Department (ED) as well as the use of hallway beds and radiology studies in the ED are associated with patient experience, although not in the same ways.

A new study in The Journal of Immunology reveals how a high-fat diet may impair the immune system's ability to respond to infection by impacting the function of neutrophils, one of the first immune cells to respond to bacteria or viruses.
