Texas Tech University faculty Peter Keyel and Kai Zhang are teaming up to build foundational knowledge concerning leishmaniasis, a common, but neglected protozoan parasitic disease.

Despite growing evidence that GLP-1 medications improve health and are worth their cost, many insurance plans still limit coverage. University of Mississippi researchers are examining why, and where that leaves patients.

In 2023, nearly 51 million people were injured and 1.34 million died from road injuries, making road injuries one of the leading global causes of premature death and disability, according to a new study published today in The Lancet Public Health.

Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago have identified a molecular switch that helps determine whether cancer cells remain soft and difficult to destroy or become stiff enough for the immune system to attack.

Patients with moderate-to-severe disabilities before a stroke are frequently excluded from endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), despite representing a substantial proportion of patients with large vessel occlusion stroke.

A new UCLA Health study examining more than 1.5 million emergency department (ED) visits found that female physicians request more imaging and laboratory tests and admit more patients to the hospital than their male counterparts working alongside them.

A nationwide analysis led by a UC Riverside (Calif.) professor provides one of the clearest pictures yet of where mothers are least likely to begin breastfeeding their babies in the United States and what circumstances associate with lower rates.

Researchers compared semaglutide with liraglutide in 57,456 insured adults without recorded diabetes or cardiovascular disease who initiated formulations indicated for chronic weight management. Semaglutide users had a lower risk of incident diabetes, particularly beyond six months of follow-up, but limited cardiovascular events prevented a precise comparison of cardiovascular risk.

A meta-analysis of 38 placebo-controlled trials involving 703 participants found that beetroot juice supplementation was associated with a small improvement in VO2max or VO2peak during aerobic exercise. Benefits were most consistent in recreationally active adults, while evidence in highly trained athletes remained limited and uncertain.

Nationally representative US data show GLP-1RA use rose 230% among adults with diabetes and 643% among those without reported diabetes between 2017 and 2022, largely driven by semaglutide. Mean annual out-of-pocket payments decreased, but mean total annual payments per user increased, raising concerns about long-term affordability.

Gut microbiome-derived metabolites may influence stress-related mental disorders through neural, immune, endocrine, and epigenetic pathways. Evidence is strongest for depression and preclinical models, while larger longitudinal human studies are needed to establish causality and clinical value.

Your intestine completely rebuilds its inner lining every few days—one of the fastest renewal processes in the human body.

Antimicrobial resistance in children is rising globally and will worsen over the next decade, threatening the effectiveness of life‑saving antibiotics, according to a world-first monitoring platform.

Many neurological diseases damage specific parts of the brain, even though the harmful protein involved is present throughout the brain.

The single-cell "atlases" that are increasingly used to map the human body and as training data for artificial intelligence models, may not represent the world's populations fairly, according to a study led by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

Researchers from University of California San Diego have found that injuries involving electric bicycles, or e-bikes, have increased dramatically across California, rising from just two reported collisions in 2018 to 1,506 in 2024.

A review article by a University of Nebraska Medical Center/Child Health Research Institute research team underscores and describes how altering fundamental brain development processes can be detrimental for the developing baby.

The brain is the machine that perceives, analyses, sorts, stores and prioritizes our memories. However, not all experiences and perceptions are stored in the same way, and not everything is remembered equally, especially when under pressure or emotional stress.

Many fractures are early-warning signs of osteoporosis. Yet in everyday clinical care they often go unrecognized and undocumented as warning signs, according to a new nationwide Austrian study by the Complexity Science Hub (CSH) and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Osteology (LBI Osteology). Men are affected more often.

Treatment with a "polypill" that combines multiple medications into a single daily dose significantly enhanced cardiac function and reduced hospitalizations for patients with heart failure, according to a study led by Michigan Medicine and UT Southwestern Medical Center.
