Tumors are not a comfortable place to live: oxygen deficiency, nutrient scarcity, and the accumulation of sometimes harmful metabolic products constantly stress cancer cells.

University of Arizona researchers may have uncovered a connection between chronic pain and a somewhat uncommon immune condition, opening the door to future research on immune biomarkers for chronic pain.

Scientists have discovered that mental health patients who have skin conditions may be more at risk of worse outcomes, including suicidality and depression.

In an exciting scientific first, researchers at the Allen Institute successfully designed a new gene therapy that reversed symptoms related to SYNGAP1-related disorders (SRD) in mice.

New research reveals that 'third-sector' services, such as those run by housing associations, are far more effective than government work programmes at helping the long-term unemployed in deprived areas.

Women performed best on cognitive tests during ovulation but physical activity level had a stronger influence on brain function, according to a new study from researchers at UCL.

Researchers at Cleveland Clinic Children's have helped identify a previously unknown gene that increases the risk of developing osteosarcoma, the most common type of malignant bone tumor in children and young adults.

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and Vividion Therapeutics have identified chemical compounds that can precisely block the interaction between the major cancer-driving gene RAS, and a key pathway for tumor growth.

Shame can lead people to avoid getting treatment for dental issues, potentially worsening oral health inequalities, a new study warns.

The first global standard which harmonizes what outcomes to measure in dengue treatment trials has been published this week in The Lancet Infectious Diseases. Co-led by researchers at King's and the University of Oxford, this solves a longstanding discrepancy in terms of what is measured in these trials.

A study led by University of Massachusetts Amherst researchers demonstrates that their nanoparticle-based vaccine can effectively prevent melanoma, pancreatic and triple-negative breast cancer in mice.

Errors in a gene known to cause a serious neurodevelopmental condition in infants are also linked to the development of Parkinson's disease in adolescence and adulthood, according to new research.

A new research paper was published in Volume 17, Issue 9 of Aging-US on August 22, 2025, titled, "The impact of long-term social housing on biconditional association task performance and neuron ensembles in the anterior cingulate cortex and the hippocampal CA3 region of aged rats."

Watching short inspirational videos may be just as effective at reducing stress as meditation, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.

Adding genomic sequencing to newborn blood screening would detect hundreds of additional childhood conditions, providing much earlier diagnosis and treatment, according to a new study. A baby's genome, which stays with them for life, could also be re-examined if a health issue arises during their lifetime.

Around 25% of people with cancer in the U.S. are active smokers when they are diagnosed, and studies have found that many of them continue to smoke during treatment.

A popular class of therapies for treating diabetes and obesity may also have the potential to treat alcohol and drug addiction, according to a new paper published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society.

Poor blood sugar control in adolescence increases the risk of painful future complications for people with type 1 diabetes, research co-led by University of Michigan suggests.

A new study led by Break Through Cancer's Accelerating Glioblastoma (GBM) Therapies Through Serial Biopsies TeamLab has revealed that an engineered virus therapy, CAN-3110, triggered powerful immune responses deep inside glioblastoma tumors that were invisible to standard imaging like MRI, according to early analyses of two patients with recurrent GBM.

Long-term exposure to fine air pollution can impair metabolic health by disrupting the normal function of brown fat in mice. A study co-led by the University of Zurich shows that this occurs through complex changes in gene regulation driven by epigenetic mechanisms.
