Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) are an important treatment option for people with chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

Patients who have been treated for heart failure and experience an improvement of their pump function, are still at higher risk of heart-related death or hospitalization if they stop taking heart failure medications.

Being born with a heart defect may be associated with an increased cancer risk for babies and their moms, according to new research published today in the American Heart Association's flagship journal Circulation.

Hot weather is responsible for an average of almost 50,000 years of healthy life lost to cardiovascular disease every year among people in Australia, according to research published in the European Heart Journal today (Monday).

When we accidentally touch something familiar, like a warm pan, our brains already know what feeling to expect and how much it might hurt.

A JAMA Network Open study finds that better cardiovascular health (CVH) in older adults is linked to lower levels of neurodegenerative biomarkers, particularly neurofilament light chain (NfL). These benefits are consistent across races and especially impactful for individuals carrying Alzheimer's-related genetic risks.

A new meta-analysis finds no overall difference in cancer risk between red and white wine consumption, though white wine may raise skin cancer risk. Both wines are linked to higher breast cancer risk, debunking the myth that red wine is a "healthier" alcoholic choice.

A new study in Atherosclerosis shows that soil and water pollution, including microplastics and toxic chemicals, significantly raise cardiovascular disease risks. The research highlights how emerging contaminants and poor environmental practices drive global health threats.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a staggering 16.8 million person-years of life lost across 18 European countries, with nearly 60% of those years expected to be lived without disability. The research highlights both direct COVID-19 deaths and indirect impacts like healthcare disruptions and rising non-COVID mortality.

A new study finds that combining transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with aerobic exercise significantly reduces cigarette cravings and smoking-related brain activity in chronic smokers. The combination also boosts motivation to quit, offering a promising path for future smoking cessation therapies.

Experts call for an EU-wide, mandatory Nutri-Score label to promote healthier diets and curb industry influence on policymaking. The paper highlights how corporate lobbying has delayed EU action on front-of-pack nutrition labeling despite strong scientific evidence.

Mushrooms may help cut salt in processed meats by up to 61% while preserving taste, thanks to their natural umami compounds. Researchers also highlight mushrooms’ potential to improve nutrition and sustainability in meat products.

Bioengineering professor and The Grainger College of Engineering's Dean, Rashid Bashir, led a team of researchers in a project that's resulted in new technology that offers rapid, highly sensitive detection of multi-drug-resistant bacteria and other pathogens at low concentrations.

​The smoke from fires that blaze through the wildland-urban interface (WUI) has far greater health impacts than smoke from wildfires in remote areas, new research finds.

A new research study led by Jonathan D. Santoro, MD, Director of the Neuroimmunology Program at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, shows evidence of dysfunction of the blood-brain barrier and inflammation in the central nervous system in individuals with Down syndrome Regression Disorder (DSRD).

In Nature Neuroscience, UConn School of Medicine researchers have revealed a new scientific clue that could unlock the key cellular pathway leading to devastating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease, and the progressive damage to the brain's frontal and temporal lobes in frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) and the associated disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Autistic people often face an uphill battle when searching for a job, especially during interviews. New Virginia Commonwealth University research underscores the enduring value of employer neurodiversity training when coupled with candidates' disclosure of their autism diagnosis during the hiring process.

Alternative RNA splicing is like a movie editor cutting and rearranging scenes from the same footage to create different versions of a film.

A University of Minnesota research team was recently awarded a five-year, $3.8 million grant from the U.S. National Institutes of Health to develop a new cell therapy to combat Alzheimer's disease.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in people experiencing a heart attack is a time-dependent medical emergency requiring immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
