High-resolution digital tracking reveals how daily habits, meal timing, sleep, and physical activity shape metabolic risk for type 2 diabetes. Meal timing, sleep patterns, and activity windows each play distinct roles in insulin resistance and glucose control.

Researchers co-designed and user-tested the ‘OurFutures Vaping’ digital program to prevent e-cigarette use among Australian adolescents. The four-lesson intervention, developed with students and teachers, showed high acceptability and addresses critical gaps in youth vaping prevention.

People with higher levels of trust-in both others and institutions-report higher levels of subjective well-being, an important indicator of quality of life and predictor of health and longevity, than those with lower levels of trust, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.

A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 5, on May 3, 2025, titled "APOE genotype and biological age impact inter-omic associations related to bioenergetics."

From counting sheep to white noise and weighted blankets, people have tried innumerable ways to get a good night's sleep.

Scientists with the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have created an engineered model of the supportive tissue found within a lymph node to study human health.

Thanks to lab-grown miniature intestines, researchers at Uppsala University have successfully mapped how aggressive Shigella bacteria infect the human gut.

Hyponatremia, or low blood sodium concentration, is typically viewed as a symptomless condition-until recently.

The American Cancer Society estimates that more than 313,780 cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2025, resulting in approximately 35,770 deaths.

Hyperthermia, a cancer treatment using controlled heat to kill tumor cells, shows promise but faces limitations due to some tumor cells' unexpected heat resistance.

Pancreatic cancer is a severe illness and major challenge in cancer medicine since it is difficult to diagnose, while potential therapies are scarce.

A rich and varied mix of microbes in the mouth, particularly bacteria, is not only important for our oral health, but may hold clues for other conditions.

Telehealth can make health care easier to access for patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who need treatment, but experts worry about an increased risk of substance use disorder for patients being prescribed controlled medications such as stimulants for ADHD during these appointments.

The study highlights the impact of maternal diet on child neurodevelopment, linking nut consumption to better decision-making and fish to impulsivity.

Leg amputation rates caused by arterial disease are four times as high in the most disadvantaged areas in England.

Using advanced single-nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) and a widely used preclinical model for Alzheimer's disease, researchers from Mass General Brigham and collaborators at SUNY Upstate Medical University have identified specific brain cell types that responded most to exercise.

A new study reveals striking international differences in how doctors approach the sensitive issue of tracheostomy invasive ventilation (TIV) for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Polystyrene nanoplastics impact gut health by modifying microbiota interactions via extracellular vesicles, raising concerns about environmental nanoplastics.

A new large-scale study has mapped the first molecular events that drive the formation of harmful amyloid protein aggregates found in Alzheimer's disease, pointing towards a new potential therapeutic target.

New research in the June 2025 issue of JNCCN-Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network found that older people with cancer had better daily functioning, improved mood, stronger illness understanding, and a higher quality of life if they participated in a telehealth-based care program called Geriatric Assessment-Guided Intervention-Supportive Care (GAIN-S).
