People with leukemia have a weakened immune system due to the disease itself and treatment, which leads to an increased susceptibility to infections.

Accounting for nearly 90% of all pancreatic cancers, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a five-year survival rate of just 13%. Late-stage diagnosis, limited surgical options, and toxic chemotherapy regimens contribute to its poor outcomes.

People who skip breakfast and eat late dinners may have an increased risk of developing osteoporosis, according to a new study published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society.

Many modern cancer treatments are highly effective at reducing or eliminating tumors, but they can also cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms that impact patients' quality of life or lead to discontinuation of treatment.

A new study from University of Colorado Anschutz and Denver Health researchers, published today in JAMA Network Open, introduces a more individualized approach to restarting methadone treatment for people with opioid use disorder.

Traumatic injuries of the central nervous system (CNS)-such as traumatic brain injury (TBI) and traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI)-are characterized by oxidative damage and neuroinflammation.

It's well known that alcohol misuse can harm not only drinkers themselves but also those around them. Now, a new report in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs shows that, among college students, harms such as lower grades, mental distress and even suicidal thoughts are linked to being exposed to a drinker's poor behavior.

A recent study published in Engineering has shed light on the complex interactions between probiotics and drugs, particularly focusing on the effects of the probiotic Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Zhang (LCZ) on the cholesterol-lowering drug lovastatin.

The most comprehensive quantitative review of research into complementary and alternative treatments for autism has found no strong evidence to support their use, and that the safety of these treatments was rarely assessed.

Next to cancer recurrence or progression, cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death in cancer survivors.

A new study co-authored by a University of Wisconsin-Madison professor finds that life expectancy gains made by high-income countries in the first half of the 20th century have slowed significantly, and that none of the generations born after 1939 will reach 100 years of age on average.

A new study has uncovered a key difference between the immune system of males and females - and it comes down to a single gene.

During childhood and adolescence, our brain goes through a lot of changes. But studying those changes in juvenile mice is challenging because scientists don't have a way to repeatedly image the same animal's neural pathways as they grow.

A tiny fish with transparent embryos is helping University of California, Davis, researchers shed light on how exposure to crude oil and flame retardants can affect behavior, skeletal growth, cardiac health and other internal functions in offspring and subsequent generations.

A new study found that Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander people had the highest rate of stroke among people from other race and ethnic groups, with a rate more than three times higher than that of white people.
