Study uncovers how certain E. coli bacteria in the gut promote colon cancer
Scientists have uncovered how certain E. coli bacteria in the gut promote colon cancer by binding to intestinal cells and releasing a DNA-damaging toxin.
Multitarget stool DNA test shows promise for early colorectal cancer detection
A recent prospective cross-sectional study in Thailand demonstrates that multitarget stool DNA testing is highly sensitive and specific for detecting colorectal cancer (CRC) among Thai individuals.
World’s first comparative study shows safety of single-port robotic thymectomy
A Joint research team (Prof. Jun-hee Lee, Hyun-koo Kim, Jin-Wook Hwang, Jae-Ho Chung, the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Korea University College of Medicine) Announced the world's first compartive results of single-port robotic thymectomy using the single-port robotic system.
Saturated fats accelerate neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis
Targeting ceramide synthase enzymes may reduce multiple sclerosis severity by limiting ceramide C16 synthesis, offering potential neuroprotective strategies.
Work stress increases risk of unfavorable cardiovascular health measures
In a large multi-ethnic group of adults in the United States without cardiovascular disease, those with work-related stress were more likely to have unfavorable measures of cardiovascular health.
Researchers receive CAD 45 million to study new psychosis treatments
One out of 100 people will experience a psychotic episode in their lifetime, and these usually appear in late adolescence or early adulthood.
New research explores how omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids may impact cancer rates
This study highlights the relationship between polyunsaturated fatty acids and cancer risk, suggesting blood biomarkers may be key for accurate assessment.
Polyphenol-rich Mediterranean diets could help keep the brain younger
A study reveals that Mediterranean and green-MED diets rich in polyphenols may slow brain aging and reduce neurodegeneration through improved glycemic control.
Vitamin D supplements during pregnancy strengthen children's bones
Children whose mothers took extra vitamin D during pregnancy continue to have stronger bones at age seven, according to new research led by the University of Southampton and University Hospital Southampton (UHS).
How a ketogenic diet could reduce autoimmune disease severity through host-microbiome interactions
This study uncovers the ketogenic diet's effects on the microbiome, revealing its potential to mitigate autoimmune diseases through metabolic pathways.
Sleep apnea raises dementia risk in older women
Researchers determine the differential risk of dementia among men and women based on the presence of obstructive sleep apnea.
AI-powered MRI predicts outcomes in prostate cancer
Researchers determine whether artificial intelligence-based MRI data could predict prostate cancer patient outcomes.
AI outperforms doctors in diagnostics but falls short as a clinical assistant

Exploring the circadian influence of immune cells on metabolic health and fat storage
Recent research reveals that the immune system interacts with the body's internal clock, influencing both fat storage and temperature regulation. These insights carry substantial implications for individuals with irregular work, eating, or sleep patterns driven by the demands of modern life.
Targeted bacteriophages offer standardized and scalable GI therapy
In a new study, researchers at the University of Copenhagen have been cultivating 'good viruses' from feces. The goal is to replace fecal capsules now being used in so-called fecal transplants. Their new technique has shown potential in studies with mice and the hope is that it will improve this life-saving treatment through standardization and pave its way toward mainstream medicine.
A novel synthetic lethal target for ATM inhibitors in pancreatic cancer
A novel discovery in the field of pancreatic cancer treatment has been unveiled, revealing the epigenetic silencing of BEND4 as a potential synthetic lethal marker for enhancing the efficacy of ATM inhibitors in pancreatic cancer treatment.
Deciphering the mechanisms of immune response with probabilistic graphical networks
Over the past two decades, new technologies have helped scientists generate a vast amount of biological data. Large-scale experiments in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and cytometry can produce enormous quantities of data from a given cellular or multicellular system.
Advances in neutropenia research could pave the way for better treatments
Neutropenia is a condition in which there are not enough neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, in the blood.
