A study from the University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center may have, at last, cracked the cold case of immunotherapy resistance.

A team of researchers led by University Hospitals Connor Whole Health have identified an association between spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) and a reduced likelihood of butalbital prescription and medication overuse headache (MOH) for patients experiencing tension-type headaches (TTH). Their retrospective study, published in Health Science Reports, includes more than 6,200 patients from a national US database spanning 2013 to 2024.

The Wistar Institute's David B. Weiner, Ph.D. -; Executive Vice President, director of the Vaccine & Immunotherapy Center and W.W.

With a new five-year, $3.2 million grant from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communications Disorders, researchers at Case Western Reserve University and Mass Eye and Ear will study what causes acquired hearing loss (AHL) and seek new ways to protect against it.

Chronic fatigue syndrome creates conditions where pathogen-killing immune T cells become exhausted, according to a new Cornell University study.

Breast, bladder, and pancreatic cancers are increasingly being treated with a broad range of therapies before a patient undergoes surgery, and cancer stage at diagnosis continues to be a leading factor in determining a person's survival rate for all types of cancer, according to the first-ever annual cancer report from the National Cancer Database (NCDB) of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Cancer Programs.

Scientists reveal that coffee consumption influences gut microbiota composition, with a strong link to the bacterium Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus, independent of caffeine.

Researchers find that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein persists in the skull-meninges-brain axis, driving neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and heightened vulnerability to brain injuries.

A recent study in Nature Materials introduces an inhalable nanozyme treatment for viral pneumonia, showing promising results in reducing inflammation and viral load in various mouse models. The nanozyme, CeTA-K1tkP, demonstrates broad-spectrum effects and biocompatibility, offering a potential new approach to treating pneumonia and other inflammatory conditions.

A randomized controlled trial found that carrageenan, a common food additive, may cause subclinical inflammation and insulin resistance in overweight individuals, mediated by gut permeability and inflammation. Effects were linked to BMI but not observed in non-overweight participants during short-term exposure.

A study by Baycrest found that high blood sugar may impair brain health even in people without diabetes.

A recent study by Baycrest reveals that an area of the brain distinct from the stroke lesion may play a significant role in causing the life-altering symptoms survivors are often left with, which can include severe challenges with speech, mobility and cognition.

A new UTHealth Houston study focused on finding the best surgical technique for reconstruction of the acromioclavicular joint (ACJ), where the collarbone meets the shoulder blade, has the potential to enhance recovery and long-term shoulder health for young athletes.

Severe COVID-19 arises in part from the SARS-CoV-2 virus's impact on mitochondria, tiny oxygen-burning power plants in cells, which can help trigger a cascade of organ- and immune system-damaging events, suggests a study by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine, Johns Hopkins Medicine, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, along with other members of the COVID-19 International Research Team.
