September is National Sickle Cell Awareness Month, and a University of Cincinnati College of Medicine hematology researcher has received new grant funding to study one of the disease's painful, under-recognized complications: bone damage.

On the wooded University of Montana campus, resident Cooper's hawks are helping people recover from stroke.

Urinary tract infections, or UTIs, are among the most common bacterial infections, caused mostly by the uropathogenic bacterium Escherichia coli. But even after antibiotic treatment, a large number of patients experience another UTI.

Researchers in The Netherlands have found that about 30% of presentations to emergency departments of patients with chest pain could be avoided if a highly sensitive troponin test is used in combination with other parameters by ambulance crews during pre-hospital triaging.

Between August 2024 and June 2025, Réunion Island experienced a massive chikungunya epidemic, with more than 54,000 confirmed cases and 43 deaths, making it the second major Chikungunya virus outbreak on the island after the 2005-2006 epidemic, which had affected about a third of the islands' population.

A new research perspective was published in Volume 13 of Oncoscience on September 17, 2026, titled "Emerging pharmacological agents for glioblastoma multiforme: An update on active clinical trials (2025–2026)."

Researchers at Cornell University have documented the first molecular characterization of Marfan syndrome in domestic cats in a paper in Scientific Reports.

As antibiotic resistance makes everyday infections tougher to treat and emerging pathogens drive challenging infectious-disease outbreaks, researchers in Kansas from multiple disciplines and institutions are teaming up to target pathogens and overcome antibiotic resistance.

What can mathematics reveal about Alzheimer's disease? Mississippi State Associate Professor Shantia Yarahmadian is using mathematical modeling to examine how common metals may influence a protein that forms plaque associated with Alzheimer's disease-and how potential therapies could alter these processes.

Pancreatic cancer is among the most aggressive malignancies, and in China it accounts for a substantial and rising share of cancer deaths.

Researchers often use antibodies to detect specific molecules or biological markers, as they are remarkably precise at recognizing their targets.

The risk of death for patients treated in the emergency department increases by one per cent for every ten per cent increase in occupancy, according to research that will be presented at the European Emergency Medicine Congress.

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified a previously unknown pathway that prostate tumors leverage to suppress the immune system by reshaping the tumor microenvironment to resist treatment.

Atypical meningiomas are tumors originating in the meninges and are associated with a high risk of recurrence.

Seventy-five percent of workers in emergency medical departments and services have witnessed violence in the past year, according to a survey of over 1,300 health professionals in 81 countries worldwide.

A new study by researchers at Lund University in Sweden found that 85 percent of patients with aura-dominant migraine experienced a reduction in monthly aura days by at least half following treatment with the anti-epileptic drug lamotrigine.

A world-first test developed by researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has identified the genetic cause of inherited muscle disease in people who remained without answers after years, sometimes decades, of standard testing.

A collaborative team led by Professor Jie Zhou at Tianjin Medical University School of Basic Medicine and Professor Qiang Liu at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital published a comprehensive review in Volume 2 of the journal Immunity & Inflammation on September 8, 2026.

A previously unknown protein, hidden in RNA thought not to encode proteins, helps cells divide correctly. The RNA molecule that encodes the protein also has a function of its own in cell division.

Researchers at Texas Children's Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI), Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions show in Nature Cancer that stroke promotes glioma growth and uncovered cellular and molecular mediators involved in the process, linking brain injury to malignant brain tumors.
