Many women going through menopause report struggling with memory lapses, trouble concentrating and slower thinking, a set of symptoms often described as "brain fog."

Cancers actively remodel their surrounding cells and tissues to create a microenvironment that favors their growth, survival, and spread.

A Rutgers-led international collaboration has identified 36 genes that substantially raise the risk for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and chronic tic disorders – providing what two researchers said is the most detailed biological understanding of how these conditions develop – and how they might eventually be treated.

Enteroviruses (EVs) are a diverse group of viruses and a common cause of multiple infections in children.

A study by the University of Eastern Finland found that quality of life in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) is strongly associated with their walking performance and functional capacity.

A recent study by the University of Eastern Finland identified three distinct body mass index (BMI) trajectories among people with type 2 diabetes.

The neuroactive potential of bacteria living in the human gut is associated with levels of key chemicals in the brain, according to a new study from the University of Surrey and the University of Roehampton.

Gynecological tumors, including cervical cancer (CC), endometrial cancer (EC), and ovarian cancer (OC), represent a significant global health burden for women.

Immediate coronary angiography did not improve 30-day survival compared with a deferred strategy in patients without an ECG ST-elevation after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

A therapeutic approach pioneered in Mainz for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) is taking an important step toward clinical application.

UZH researchers have developed a novel therapy for multiple sclerosis that is designed to stop the misguided immune response without suppressing the immune system as a whole.

BeOne Medicines, Ltd., a global oncology company, today announced a voluntary agreement with the U.S. Government to expand access to innovative cancer medicines for American patients while strengthening our U.S manufacturing footprint and further expanding the capabilities needed to deliver medicines at scale.

A prospective cohort study of 1,935 mother-child pairs examined whether baby swimming during the first 6 months of life was associated with IQ and cognitive performance at ages 4 to 6 years. Swimming participation was associated with modestly higher scores across several cognitive domains, but the researchers cautioned that the observational findings cannot establish causation and may partly reflect socioeconomic and family-level differences.

One of Australia's largest real world studies of younger adults with advanced bowel cancer has identified important differences between cancers diagnosed before and after the age of 50, which could help doctors tailor treatments for younger adults more effectively.

A narrative review suggests GLP-1-based therapies deliver metabolic, cardiovascular, renal, and other systemic benefits, raising interest in whether lower fractional doses could improve tolerability and treatment continuity. However, direct evidence for GLP-1 microdosing remains extremely limited, and researchers say prospective studies are needed to determine whether lower doses preserve long-term benefits.

New research from the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine provides insight into how binge alcohol exposure during adolescence may cause lasting changes in brain function that persist into adulthood, potentially identifying a new target for future treatment approaches.

Regular aerobic exercise – the kind that gets your heart pumping – can improve important thinking skills called executive functions, and the benefits appear especially strong for women after menopause, according to Rutgers researchers.

A cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 9 found that greater caregiver-reported daily screen time was associated with lower contrast sensitivity and differences in how age related to visual-search performance. The associations varied by visual feature and task demands, suggesting that screen exposure may relate differently to lower-level visual processing and selective attention across middle childhood.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of nine randomized controlled trials involving 6,239 adults with overweight or obesity without diabetes found that subcutaneous semaglutide produced substantially greater reductions in body weight, waist circumference, and C-reactive protein than placebo. The higher dose of 7.2 mg semaglutide showed potential for greater weight loss, although the evidence is largely based on a single trial and requires confirmation.

Parents are an important line of defense against teen vaping, yet many lack the knowledge and tools needed to recognize vaping products, understand their risks and prevent their children from using them.
