The intervention, called Navigate-Kidney, utilizes community health workers (CHWs) to help patients undergoing hemodialysis understand and work through challenges that come with treatment, including socioeconomic factors, particularly food insecurity as well as lack of culturally responsive care, and disparities in access to health insurance and health care.

Researchers from the Institute of Human Virology (IHV) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have discovered how a specific type of immune cell may contribute to the persistence of HIV infections.

Cancer-fighting antibody drugs are designed to penetrate tumor cells and release a lethal payload deep within, but too often they don't make it that far.

Around the world, doctors, nurses and pharmacists are turning to evidence-based integrative approaches such as acupuncture, yoga, exercise, massage and nutrition counseling to help people with cancer manage the harsh side effects of treatment.

A study led by University of Cincinnati Cancer Center researchers sheds new light on how pancreatic cancer cells resist treatment and points to potential new combination therapies to make treatments more effective.

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered how to reverse aging in blood-forming stem cells in mice by correcting defects in the stem cell's lysosomes.

Researchers at the LSU LCMC Health Cancer Center have published groundbreaking findings in NPJ Breast Cancer that sheds new light on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer.

Every year, nearly 10 million Americans experience a broken bone. A quarter of patients with lower leg fractures face delayed healing, and one in 10 patients will develop a nonunion, a break that requires additional major surgery to heal.

One in two people in the United States, just over half of the population, is affected by a neurological disease or disorder, according to a new systematic analysis by the American Academy of Neurology and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation published on November 24, 2025, in the journal JAMA Neurology.

In a study led by researchers at Mass General Brigham, pregnant individuals who stopped taking popular weight loss GLP-1 medications before or early in their pregnancy tended to gain more weight and have higher risks of diabetes and hypertensive disorders during pregnancy, and experienced preterm delivery more so than people who had never taken GLP-1 drugs.

New research reveals that people with untreated obstructive sleep apnea have a higher risk of developing Parkinson's disease. However, they can significantly reduce the risk by improving the quality of their sleep by using continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP.

Arginine reduced amyloid beta aggregation in vitro and in both Drosophila and AppNL-G-F mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease, leading to fewer dense-core plaques and improved behavior. The study provides preclinical evidence that oral arginine may modulate amyloid pathology, although high dosing requirements and model limitations constrain human translation.

Older women who follow a strongly anti-inflammatory Mediterranean diet report far fewer subjective memory complaints than those who do not. The AnMED pattern outperforms both traditional Mediterranean and MIND diets, showing a clear advantage for protecting early cognitive symptoms.

Black cumin seeds contain diverse secondary metabolites, including thymoquinone, flavonoids, triterpenoids and alkaloids, that demonstrate broad antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activity. Early preclinical and limited clinical evidence shows therapeutic potential across chronic diseases, supported by mechanistic and structure activity relationship findings.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP), a condition whose development is shaped by both genetic and clinical risk factors, significantly impairs women's quality of life, yet genetic insights into non-European populations and comprehensive risk models that integrate genetic and clinical data remain insufficiently explored.

Eating a vegan diet increases consumption of plant-based foods-including those defined as "unhealthy" by the plant-based diet index-leading to greater weight loss than the Mediterranean diet, finds a new analysis by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine published in Frontiers in Nutrition.

Detailed mapping of CD4⁺ T cells from children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has revealed distinct immune cell subsets with likely roles in disease pathogenesis, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have uncovered a new way to understand how children fare after liver transplantation: by focusing not on medical test results, but on how differently parents and children perceive the child's well-being.

Some tumors are almost impossible to treat. That's especially true for carcinomas, which don't behave like other malignancies.

Rutgers neuroscientist Peng Jiang was visiting his hometown of Qianshan, a city in China's Anhui province, when a neighbor came to his parents' house with a story that would stay with him.
