Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital and four other institutions have devised a novel method to test for prostate cancer using biomarkers present in urine, funded in part by the National Institutes of Health.

Researchers mapped the global healthspan-lifespan gap across 183 countries, showing people live longer but not healthier, with Africa experiencing the fastest widening gap. Distinct disease-burden clusters explain regional differences and highlight the need for region-specific health strategies.

Researchers found that AI applied to OCT imaging can standardize detection of thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) and identify post–heart attack patients at higher two-year risk. Whole-segment AI analysis outperformed lesion-focused human review, offering stronger prognostic value and reassurance for low-risk patients.

Trial shows that raspberry leaf tea blunts sucrose-induced glucose and insulin surges, offering a natural strategy for moderating blood sugar without the side effects of pharmaceutical enzyme inhibitors.

Nearly three out of four adults fear going to the dentist, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association.

Researchers at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center have discovered a potentially powerful weapon in the fight against head and neck cancers.

An invitation to attend a comprehensive screening examination for the early signs of cardiovascular disease (CVD) did not reduce all-cause death among men aged 60 to 64 years, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2025.

A new study published in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, the journal from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons, suggests that prenatal detection of congenital heart disease (CHD) has improved in recent years largely due to advances in ultrasound screening practices.

Medicines containing a type of PFAS or 'forever chemical' called fluorine are not leading to higher numbers of adverse drug reactions according to new data analysis.

Clinicians' ability to diagnose and treat chronic diseases is limited by scientific uncertainty around factors contributing to disease risk. A study published September 2nd in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by Drs. Emily Van Syoc, Emily Davenport, and Seth Bordenstein at The Pennsylvania State University, United States, uncovers evidence of the first ternary relationships between human genetic variation, variation in gut mycobiome, and risk of developing chronic disease.

Researchers working independently at the University of Hawaii Cancer Center and the National Cancer Institute have discovered, and validated, a new variant of mesothelioma that may lead to more successful treatments.

Platelets are probably best known for their role in blood clotting, making scabs and related, if less salubrious, contributions to heart attacks and strokes.

Scientists from Trinity College Dublin have discovered that electrically stimulating "macrophages" – one of the immune systems key players – can "reprogramme" them in such a way to reduce inflammation and encourage faster, more effective healing in disease and injury.

The liver is remarkable for its ability to regenerate after injury, yet when this process fails, acute liver failure (ALF) carries devastating outcomes.

A groundbreaking study by researchers from Wuhan University, York University (UK), and Peking University has uncovered how Escherichia coli (E. coli) persister bacteria survive antibiotics by protecting their genetic instructions.

A new research paper featured on the cover of Volume 17, Issue 8 of Aging (Aging-US) was published on July 30, 2025, titled "Exosomes released from senescent cells and circulatory exosomes isolated from human plasma reveal aging-associated proteomic and lipid signatures."

In a new study, researchers from the University of Chicago discovered that zeaxanthin, a plant-derived carotenoid best known for protecting vision, may also act as an immune-boosting compound by strengthening the cancer-fighting activity of immune cells.

Researchers reveal how diseases interact at the genetic level

Researchers from the University of Birmingham, U.K., have identified bioactive peptide sequences in PEPITEM molecule, and demonstrated the biological of activity of the full PEPITEM molecule in counteracting key changes caused by osteoporosis.

Today, the American Cancer Society (ACS) released Prostate Cancer Statistics, 2025, a report on current prostate cancer occurrence and outcomes in the United States.
