A new study finds public specialized gambling addiction treatment services are underused in Quebec, pointing to a need to better reach people with gambling disorder.

New in JNeurosci, Xia Zhang, from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, led a study exploring the relationship between heart issues and cognitive function.

A Science Immunology Review explains how memory B cells acquire diverse molecular, epigenetic, and tissue-specific programs that shape long-term immune protection. It highlights lung-resident memory B cells as a key target for mucosal vaccines, potentially improving control of airborne infections and reducing transmission.

One day, tiny swimming robots may travel through the human body to deliver drugs. The medication would target only areas of need-chemotherapy drugs for a tumor, for example-avoiding healthy tissue and minimizing side effects.

Researchers from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago identified a distinct subtype of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) – a chronic allergic inflammatory disorder in which the esophagus narrows, interfering with food going down properly.

Following the release of data from Assumption Parish earlier this year, researchers at LSU's Pennington Biomedical Research Center have published the first set of data from the Risks Underlying Rural Areas Longitudinal, or RURAL, Heart and Lung study in Franklin Parish. The data book for Franklin Parish is now available to explore.

Between 2015 and 2022, men were more likely than women to be diagnosed with regional and/or distant stages of 20 nonreproductive solid cancer types in the United States, according to a study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR).

Millions of people rely on statins - a medication used to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Lyme disease can be easiest to treat in its earliest stages, but current tests often miss infections during that critical window and cannot tell whether bacteria are still present or were cleared years ago.

Genetically engineered CAR T cells expressing artificial receptor proteins are increasingly used in the clinic to boost the immune system's response against leukemias and other cancers.

A new study from Virginia Tech suggests patterns of repetitive negative thinking explain how anxiety develops into deeper stress for caregivers of people living with dementia, and that mindfulness training may help identify and interrupt that progression.

The research, published in the journal Maturitas, links trauma experienced to the onset of the menopause up to 20 months earlier and an increase in hot flushes, depression and cardiometabolic health problems.

New research has uncovered persistent disparities in preventive cancer care across different sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) populations.

Emerging discoveries in liquid biomarker research promise to transform early detection, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring of colorectal cancer (CRC), according to a new study, offering less invasive alternatives to traditional methods that often require surgical interventions or tissue biopsies.

A study conducted by the Sant Pau Research Institute (IR Sant Pau) and Hospital de Sant Pau has identified for the first time in living individuals a brain pattern related to the tau protein that changes according to the stage of Huntington's disease.

ReproNovo, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to addressing critical gaps in male and female fertility as well as women’s health, today announced that the first participant has been dosed in the Company’s EU Phase 2 clinical trial of RPN-002, entitled Nolasiban Optimized Regimen Dosing for Inhibition of Uterine Contractility (NORDIC).

Professor Stephen Euston and Dr. Hector Mora Gallego from the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences are working with industry collaborators New Food Innovation and AB Mauri, to develop a new way to cut the saturated fat in the layered dough used in sausage rolls.

When watching a drama, we quickly learn who is friends with whom–and, just as importantly, who stands against whom.

New research led by Mass General Brigham investigators suggests that the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine - which is delivered through the skin to prevent tuberculosis - may remodel the human brain's immune environment, offering a potential biological explanation for previously observed associations between BCG vaccination and lower Alzheimer's disease risk.

A study reveals narrowing gaps in blood pressure and cholesterol between obesity and normal BMI, highlighting evolving cardiometabolic risks over three decades.
