Stress internalization is a significant risk factor for age-related cognitive decline in older Chinese Americans, according to Rutgers Health researchers.

For cancer- and infection-fighting T cells, glucose offers far more than a simple sugar rush.

Do you find yourself reaching for a cup of coffee at night to stay alert? A new study from The University of Texas at El Paso suggests you might want to reconsider.

Weight loss and diabetes drugs on the market often do not achieve long-term weight loss for patients. GLP-1 drugs target brain neurons that control appetite but frequently cause side effects.

A new study finds that kids with obesity are more likely to have obese parents because they inherit obesity-related genes, and to a smaller extent, are impacted indirectly by genes carried by the mother – even when those genes aren't passed down.

Researchers found that higher levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in human milk are associated with longer sleep duration in exclusively breastfed two-month-old infants. The strongest effects were observed for daytime (diurnal) sleep, especially with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

AXT has partnered with Iconeus to distribute cutting-edge functional ultrasound (fUS) systems in Australia and New Zealand, enabling real-time, non-invasive imaging of brain activity and vasculature. The Iconeus One offers high-resolution vascular mapping and advanced neuroimaging capabilities for research.

A major Norwegian cohort study finds that higher intake of whole milk is linked to increased risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, while low-fat milk shows no such association. The research supports recommendations to prefer low-fat milk for heart health.

A randomized crossover trial in the UK found that both ultra-processed (UPF) and minimally processed food (MPF) diets, when aligned with national guidelines, led to weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity. However, the MPF diet produced significantly greater reductions in weight, fat mass, and food cravings, highlighting the added benefits of limiting food processing.

Researchers identified that triterpene glycosides from the starfish Solaster pacificus can kill drug-resistant prostate cancer cells in vitro by bypassing common resistance pathways. CuC1 showed synergy with existing chemotherapies, though with only moderate selectivity for cancer cells.

A recent study led by a team of researchers at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine examining aging mice has provided what is believed to be the first evidence that amyloid beta protein-small, sticky protein fragment found in people with Alzheimer's disease (AD)-particles build up in the bone marrow of the animals, although not in the exact same form as the large, dense plaques found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease.

New research has revealed that perilipin 2 protein modulates aggressive cancer progression in advanced lung adenocarcinoma, the most common type of lung cancer, by regulating lipid droplet accumulation, which plays an important role in lipid metabolism by making cancer cells store more fat, acting as a fuel source.

As use of the popular anti-diabetic and weight-loss drug Ozempic skyrockets, so have concerns about the medication's side effects.

"Herpotrichone" is a natural substance that has been evaluated highly for its excellent ability to suppress inflammation in the brain and protect nerve cells, displaying significant potential to be developed as a therapeutic agent for neurodegenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

Stem cell research, alongside the rapidly advancing field of biotechnology, has led to remarkable innovations in regenerative medicine.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is an incurable neurological disorder affecting motor neurons-nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement and breathing.

The possibility of having a tool that facilitates population screening for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is getting closer.

Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. In past decades, numerous emerging infectious diseases have markedly affected global health and social-economic development.

Findings suggest a personalized approach to recommending CPAP machines to patients with obstructive sleep apnea may decrease adverse cardiovascular events.

The simple daily habit of standing up more often may impact heart health for postmenopausal women,
