NYU Langone Health researchers found that a type of cell death caused by a buildup of highly reactive molecules suppresses lung tumor growth.

Like the astronomical explosion that kickstarted the universe, bowel cancer has a "Big Bang" moment which determines how it will grow, according to new research from Cancer Research UK and Wellcome Trust-funded scientists.

In a family-based study, researchers found that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) shared similar gut microbiomes with their relatives but showed distinctly different eating habits. Their preference for sweets and limited vegetable intake suggests behavior-driven dietary choices may influence, rather than result from, microbiome differences.

As the body ages, brown adipose tissue activity decreases, fewer calories are burned, and this can contribute to obesity and certain chronic cardiovascular diseases that worsen with age.

Nerve injuries can have long-lasting effects on the immune system that appear to differ between males and females, according to preclinical research from McGill University.

New prostate cancer research from an international team led by the Center for Genetic Epidemiology at the Keck School of Medicine of USC has yielded discoveries that could improve screening and treatment for patients of African ancestry.

New antivirals and vaccines could follow the discovery by Australian researchers of strategies used by viruses to control our cells.

Cambridge researchers have discovered why living in a disadvantaged neighbourhood may be linked to an increase in an individual's risk of dementia.

A recent study from Houston Methodist sheds light on how Alzheimer's disease may contribute to larger health issues by hijacking the body's ability to regulate its metabolism.

An Osaka Metropolitan University team has used stem cells extracted from adipose, the body's fatty tissue, to treat spine fractures in rats similar to those caused by osteoporosis in humans.

Addressing barriers to cardiac rehab for women is essential. The AHA's guidelines focus on enhancing access and promoting effective heart health strategies.

A growing body of evidence implicates cellular senescence-when cells age and permanently stop dividing-as an important contributor to metabolic dysfunction that can lead to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.

A commonly prescribed antibiotic could help reduce the risk of some young people developing schizophrenia, new research suggests.

Nitrogen metabolism of gut bacteria can provide health benefits. Specifically, gut microbes metabolize dietary nitrates and nitrites and prevent the formation of cancer-causing compounds called nitrosamines.

A poorly characterized protein, historically thought to be a chaperone or enzyme, may actually be a key player in prostate cancer.

What is it that makes a super recognizer – someone with extraordinary face recognition abilities – better at remembering faces than the rest of us?

Certain medicines can cause the environmental toxin PFAS to be eliminated from the body faster, according to a study at the University of Gothenburg.

A hidden structure inside the cell is rewriting how scientists understand leukemia. Beneath the microscope, what looked like disorder turned out to follow a simple physical rule – one that connects several major mutations behind the disease.

A new study by investigators from Mass General Brigham shows that patients with traumatic spinal cord injuries (TSCI) are at a higher risk of developing a myriad of chronic health problems, regardless of age, location of the injury and prior health status.

Research on human brain organoids (HBOs) is directly challenging how biobanks and biomedical institutes recruit volunteers.
