Deep brain stimulation – implants in the brain that act as a kind of 'pacemaker' – has led to clinical improvements in half of the participants with treatment-resistant severe depression in an 'open label' trial.

Successful root canal treatment could reduce inflammation linked to heart disease and improve levels of blood sugar and cholesterol.

Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland and their international collaborators have identified key developmental and molecular differences between the two main subtypes of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, CLL.

Scottish Brain Sciences (SBS), a leading clinical research organization dedicated to transforming the early detection and treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions, today announced that it has opened a new state-of-the-art clinical research center at ONE BioHub, Aberdeen.

This scoping review found that more than 60 percent of infant formulas and baby foods worldwide contain detectable levels of cadmium, lead, and arsenic, with mercury present in more than 30 percent of products. The highest concentrations and regulatory exceedances occurred in baby foods containing fish, rice, and cereals, underscoring persistent global safety gaps.

A new study led by University of Toronto researchers has shown that immune cells in the gut follow an atypical pathway to produce antibodies that provide long-term protection against viruses.
