Long sitting hours raise breast cancer odds for inactive obese women
Prolonged daily sitting is linked to a higher prevalence of breast cancer in obese women, but only among those who are physically inactive. Regular physical activity eliminates this association, highlighting the importance of movement for breast cancer prevention in high-risk groups.
Teen obesity and diabetes may weaken lifelong bone strength
Obesity and type 2 diabetes in adolescence can interfere with bone development, potentially increasing the risk of fractures and osteoporosis later in life, according to a study being presented Monday at ENDO 2025, the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in San Francisco, Calif.
Night shift work linked to irregular periods and hormonal imbalances
Women who work night shifts may have an increased risk for irregular periods and hormonal imbalances, according to a study being presented Monday at ENDO 2025, the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in San Francisco, Calif.
Adding nut extract helps keep pork burgers healthier and safer
Researchers found that adding hazelnut skin green extract to pork burgers significantly reduced harmful lipid oxidation during cooking and digestion. This natural by-product may help extend shelf life and offer a clean-label alternative to synthetic preservatives in meat products.
Visual food cues may lead to overeating even without hunger
Watching others eat tasty foods may lead to overeating, even in the absence of hunger, according to a new mouse study being presented Monday at ENDO 2025, the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in San Francisco, Calif.
Weight loss drugs can boost testosterone in men with obesity or diabetes
Anti-obesity medications can significantly raise testosterone levels and improve health outcomes for men with obesity or type 2 diabetes, according to a new study being presented Monday at ENDO 2025, the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in San Francisco, Calif.
Better stress management predicts increased extroversion and openness
A new study led by Michigan State University found that as people get better at handling stress on a daily basis, they also become more extroverted, agreeable and open to new experiences over a nearly 20-year period.
New autoimmune target identified in pediatric idiopathic nephrotic syndrome
Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is a serious kidney disease in children with no clear cause. In a recent study, researchers have identified a novel autoantibody targeting vinculin—a protein crucial for kidney cell structure—as a significant factor in INS.
Study reveals key role of Egr-1 in controlling autoimmune diseases
Autoimmune diseases, like multiple sclerosis result when the body's immune system starts to attack its own cells. Regulatory T cells, a subtype of T cells play a critical role in suppressing these attacks.
New nanobody-liposome combo stops lung cancer growth and delivers targeted chemotherapy
Researchers engineered a nanobody-conjugated liposome (A5-LNP-DOX) that targets CD155 and delivers doxorubicin directly to lung adenocarcinoma cells, dramatically suppressing tumor growth in preclinical models. This approach not only inhibited cancer cell migration and invasion but also showed strong potential for safer, more precise lung cancer therapy.
Most kids’ packaged foods in Australia are ultra-processed and energy-dense, study finds
A decade-long analysis of packaged foods for Australian children reveals that most new products are both ultra-processed and high in energy density. The study highlights a pressing need for stronger regulations to protect young consumers’ diets.
Nasal antibody spray shields mice from pollen-triggered allergies and asthma
Intranasal delivery of a monoclonal IgG1 antibody targeting mugwort pollen protected mice from allergic rhinitis and asthma symptoms, without lowering systemic IgE levels. This localized, non-invasive approach dampened Th2 inflammation and preserved healthy airway tissue in sensitized mice.
Popular sugar substitute could raise the risk of blood clots and stroke
From low-carb ice cream to keto protein bars to "sugar-free" soda, the decades-old sweetener erythritol is everywhere.
Protein signatures may help predict malaria severity and guide treatment
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified over 250 proteins that are strongly affected by malaria, which could help predict the severity of the disease and thus enable faster treatment for the most critical patients.
Nighttime pistachio consumption affects gut bacteria in adults with prediabetes
Prediabetes affects a third of people in the United States and most of them will develop Type 2 diabetes, yet effective dietary intervention strategies remain limited.
Early antibiotic exposure weakens infant immune development
A new study led by researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) found that early-life exposure to antibiotics can impair an infant's developing immune system, and that a naturally occurring metabolite may hold the key to reversing that damage.
Pregnancy increases rupture risk for brain arteriovenous malformations
At the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery's (SNIS) 22nd Annual Meeting today, researchers presented findings about how pregnancy can worsen the rupture risk for brain arteriovenous malformations, abnormal connections between arteries and veins whose rupture can result in serious brain injury or death.
Early-career physician-scientists receive major support from Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation
The Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation has named five new Damon Runyon Clinical Investigators.
Guideline-based prostate cancer treatment helps most men outlive the disease
Most men who are treated for prostate cancer according to modern guidelines have good survival rates and the majority of these men will die of causes other than prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer cells evade ferroptosis by accumulating lipid droplets
A new research paper was published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on June 25, 2025, titled "Hypoxia induced lipid droplet accumulation promotes resistance to ferroptosis in prostate cancer."
