Neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest found to be similar across income levels
People who have a cardiac arrest in their own homes have similar neurological outcomes regardless of socioeconomic background, according to research presented at the European Emergency Medicine Congress today (Wednesday).
Second round of exercise boosts muscle growth in mice
New research offers potential good news for those who've lapsed at the gym. The study found that mice that voluntarily ran on an exercise wheel for four weeks, stopped for four weeks and ran again for another four weeks saw unexpected gains.
New molecular sensor for taste-based detection of influenza
Flu season is fast approaching in the northern hemisphere. And a taste-based influenza test could someday have you swapping nasal swabs for chewing gum.
New insights into how antimicrobial peptides kill bacterial cells
New research into antimicrobial peptides, small chains of amino acids able to damage bacterial cells, shows why some peptides are more effective at doing that and also why some cells are more vulnerable.
Intensive sports in adolescents trigger complex heart adaptations
Adolescent athletes' cardiovascular system may adapt to increased cardiorespiratory fitness by increasing blood pressure, arterial stiffness and heart growth, a new study shows.
Fitter hearts beat less: How exercise may add years to life
Forget the myth that exercise uses up your heartbeats. New Australian research shows fitter people use far fewer total heartbeats per day - potentially adding years to their lives.
Study identifies PTX-3 as potential marker for long COVID and tissue damage
A research team working at MedUni Vienna has demonstrated that a specific component of the immune system (PTX-3) remains at significantly higher levels in the blood of patients who have suffered from severe COVID-19, even months after the acute infection has subsided.
Long-term exposure to industrial solvent associated with elevated Parkinson's disease risk
Long-term exposure to the industrial solvent trichloroethylene (TCE) outdoors may be linked to an increased risk of Parkinson's disease, according to a large nationwide study published in the October 1, 2025, issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
Genetic risk score can help identify women at higher risk of invasive breast cancer
Studying a person's genetic makeup can predict if they will go on to develop invasive breast cancer after abnormal cells have been found in their breast tissue.
Ozone exposure weakens lung function and reshapes the oral microbiome
Ozone exposure reshapes the oral microbiome and reduces lung function, particularly in men, revealing significant health risks associated with pollution.
Processed food addiction is more common than alcohol or tobacco in older Americans
The addiction to ultraprocessed foods in older Americans is linked to health issues, with over 20% of women aged 50-64 meeting addiction criteria.
Yogurt and sleep in infancy may shape memory skills by age four
A study links early-life habits, like yogurt intake and sleep duration, to memory development in preschoolers, highlighting their impact on cognitive skills.
New study reveals molecular basis of Long COVID brain fog
Even though many years have passed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of infection with SARS-CoV-2 are not completely understood.
Poor sleep habits associated with faster aging of the brain
People who sleep poorly are more likely than others to have brains that appear older than they actually are.
Children face higher risk of long COVID after reinfection
Children and adolescents were twice as likely to experience long COVID after catching COVID for the second time, compared to their peers with a single previous infection, according to a large study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and published in Lancet Infectious Diseases.
Science and artificial intelligence could help personalize brain stimulation for smokers
Science and artificial intelligence combined at the Medical University of South Carolina in a study that could lead to personalized repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, or rTMS, for smokers who want to quit.
Boosting the immune system to prevent cancer recurrence and improve survival
In experiments with mouse models of breast, pancreatic, and muscle cancers, researchers at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital report new evidence that a novel means of boosting the natural immune system prevents cancer recurrence and improves survival.
Targeting the cerebellum to ease alcohol withdrawal symptoms
By targeting a specific area of the brain, researchers at Washington State University may now hold the key to curbing the debilitating symptoms of alcohol withdrawal that push many people back to drinking.
The neurological complexity of Mamba snake venoms uncovered

Study shows prediabetes remission does not always require weight loss
Remission of prediabetes can occur even without weight loss, protecting against type 2 diabetes in up to 22% of individuals. Metabolic improvements, healthier fat distribution, and enhanced β-cell function, not body weight change, drive this benefit.
