A study from researchers at the University of Michigan and the University of California San Diego has shed light on a previously poorly understood aspect of breast cancer recurrence: how cancer cells survive in bone marrow despite targeted therapies.

Exposure to specific pesticides is linked to increased rheumatoid arthritis risk, with notable dose-response trends for malathion and carbofuran among older licensed applicators in the Agricultural Health Study.

Cancer cells impair monocyte-mediated T-cell activation by disrupting inflammatory pathways in the tumor microenvironment. Restoring balance through PGE2 inhibition and IFN-I enhancement could renew immune defenses and improve immunotherapy outcomes.

Researchers investigate global trends in childhood diabetes rates and different factors that contribute to its incidence.

When it comes to cancer, aging is a double-edged sword, researchers are increasingly learning.

Affordability and lack of awareness drive low consumption of animal products in Ethiopian children, prompting experts to plan interventions.

Being lonely is a bigger hurdle to a good night's sleep for college students than too much time at a computer or other electronic screen, a new study by Oregon State University suggests.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulties in communication and social behavior. Approximately 20% of cases are linked to a specific genetic mutation, but the origin of the remaining 80%, known as idiopathic autism, remains a mystery.

Researchers at UCSF find a brain signature of resilience in mice that suggests a new way of treating severe depression.

Fructose consumption has increased considerably over the past five decades, largely due to the widespread use of high-fructose corn syrup as a sweetener in beverages and ultra-processed foods.

A new study by the Harvard GenderSci Lab in the British Journal of Sports Medicine reveals systematic biases in a key metric used in estimates of sex disparities in ACL injury rates in sports.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a leading cause of chronic liver diseases, that spreads among individuals through blood or body fluids.

Specially packaged DNA secreted by tumor cells can trigger an immune response that inhibits the metastatic spread of the tumor to the liver, according to a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Korea's Yonsei University.

A new study led by Lund University in Sweden has solved a years-old mystery: which patients with aggressive breast cancer are helped by a targeted cancer treatment that had been under development but was shelved.

New research from Karolinska Institutet and Columbia University shows that the heart has a mini-brain - its own nervous system that controls the heartbeat.

For people with an injured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee, surgical ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is an effective treatment for restoring joint stability, however, many treated patients still develop additional long-term knee problems, such as knee osteoarthritis.

A new method can improve treatment for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia by predicting which medication will be most effective.

Research indicates β-blockers may reduce the risk of motor diagnosis and slow symptom progression in Huntington's disease, suggesting new management approaches.
