Mutations in the BRCA1 gene that are either inherited (germline) or acquired (somatic) might not be key to the initiation of prostate cancer, as previously thought, suggests the first study of its kind, published online in the open access journal BMJ Oncology.

Scientists are exploring how animal models—hibernators, extremophiles, and small organisms—can help counteract the health risks of long-duration space travel, using AI-driven monitoring to translate these findings into astronaut solutions.

Kyushu University researchers have uncovered a surprising layer of complexity in aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs)-adrenal gland tumors that drive high blood pressure.

Higher LDL cholesterol levels (≥130 mg/dL) were linked to longer survival in Sardinian nonagenarians, challenging the conventional belief that lower cholesterol is always better. However, very high cholesterol levels, particularly in women, did not show additional longevity benefits.

The brain may play a role in helping the ear regulate its sensitivity to sound and compensate for hearing loss by sending a signal to a structure in the inner ear known as the cochlea, according to a study that was just published in the Journal of Neuroscience.

A largescale study has found huge variation between GP practices on whether they are likely to pick up prostate cancer using a blood test.

Melatonin supplementation may help offset the DNA damage associated with night shift work by boosting the body's ability to repair it, suggest the findings of a small clinical trial published online in the journal Occupational & Environmental Medicine.

Having one or more common gynecological disorders, such as endometriosis or heavy or irregular periods, may be linked to a heightened risk of heart disease and conditions that affect blood flow to the brain (cerebrovascular disease), finds a pooled data analysis of the available evidence published online in the journal Heart.

A team led by Mount Sinai researchers has identified stem cell populations and mechanisms underlying age-related degeneration in glands that are vital to eye function.

There's an arms race in medicine – scientists design drugs to treat lethal bacterial infections, but bacteria can evolve defenses to those drugs, sending the researchers back to square one.

Researchers at The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and colleagues at Massachusetts General Hospital, have found that people with diabetes can achieve the same positive results using advanced insulin technology when trained by their primary care providers (PCPs) or through telehealth as they would by seeing a specialist in person.

Researchers say they found that infection with a common virus that can be transmitted from mother to fetus before birth significantly worsens an often-fatal complication of premature birth called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in experiments with mice.

Stress from work can often leave people feeling tired and overwhelmed. Anxiety in other parts of life could make this even worse, according to a new study from the University of Georgia.
