Research from DTU and Rigshospitalet shows that sugars in breast milk play an important role in the development of the gut microbiota, during weaning or transition from breast milk to solid food.

Published in the open-access journal Ferroptosis and Oxidative Stress, the review by Giovanni Cravin and Giorgio Cozza from the University of Padua examines the growing evidence linking ferroptosis to the pathogenesis of Friedreich's Ataxia (FRDA), a rare inherited neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive neurological decline, cardiomyopathy, and premature mortality.

Dysphagia, a severe comorbidity of many neurological diseases, often lacks targeted therapies. This critical review assessed the clinical effectiveness and safety of electrical stimulation of cranial nerves for treating dysphagia, including implantable (direct nerve stimulation), minimally invasive (pharyngeal electrical stimulation, PES), and non‑invasive (transcutaneous) approaches.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors like anti-PD-1 have transformed melanoma treatment, yet more than half of patients fail to respond or eventually develop resistance.

Lyme disease can be easiest to treat in its earliest stages, but current tests often miss infections during that critical window and cannot tell whether bacteria are still present or were cleared years ago.

UVA Health stroke researchers have identified a distinct and temporary pattern of gene behavior during cervical artery dissections, a leading cause of stroke in young people.

Scientists have discovered a rare genetic condition which causes people to age at a much faster rate, offering fresh insights into the aging process.

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to grow specialized blood vessel cells critical to retinal health for the first time.

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and is generally thought to arise from mutations acquired over a lifetime through environmental exposures.

Mother-to-infant bonding difficulties (MIBD) are commonly associated with postnatal depression. MIBD has been linked to developmental delays and child abuse.

Professor Niamh Nowlan of University College Dublin (UCD) has been awarded a European Research Council (ERC) Proof of Concept Grant for research with the potential to enable new treatments for a broad range of paediatric growth disorders.

445 nm diode lasers have already been used successfully and safely for cholesteatoma surgery.

A recent study found that a combination of dietary fibers effectively alleviated chronic constipation, enhancing bowel function and stool quality in adults.

E-cigarette users with obesity show higher ventilatory demands and breathlessness during exercise, indicating potential long-term respiratory health risks.

Walk into any gym supplement aisle and creatine is there, sold by the tub to people chasing bigger muscles. It is one of the most studied compounds in sports science.

A study published in NeuroMarkers showed that a nanosensor can measure nitric oxide (NO) from patient-derived stem cells to distinguish autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from intellectual disability (ID), even when both conditions share the exact same genetic mutation.

Abhishek Mall from the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter in Hamburg (MPSD) and his colleagues explored the structural dynamics of the protein shells - called capsids - that enclose the genetic material of viruses.

Researchers at Niigata University have conducted the first comprehensive reappraisal in nearly 30 years of the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) associated with APOE-e4 homozygosity (e4*4) in the Japanese population.

Dental enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, protecting teeth from wear, temperature changes, and decay. However, enamel cannot regenerate once damaged. Inherited disorders, such as amelogenesis imperfecta, disrupt enamel formation during development, leaving affected individuals with fragile, discolored, and decay-prone teeth.

French children and adults widely consumed foods likely to contain live microbes, mainly yogurt, unpasteurised cheese, fruits, and vegetables. Higher intake was associated with more nutrient-rich diets and better diet quality scores, but the cross-sectional study cannot prove health benefits.
