Time-restricted eating impacts body composition and performance, with early eating linked to greater weight loss and late eating enhancing anaerobic power.

Greek yogurt supplementation post-training significantly reduces inflammation markers in young males, offering insights into effective recovery nutrition.

A new study involving the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) provides strong evidence that sugary drinks affect not only metabolic but also mental health – especially in women. This effect is probably mediated by the sensitive microbiome of the intestine.

A new case report was published in Volume 12 of Oncoscience on September 15, 2025, titled "When strokes reveal a hidden malignancy: An atypical case of metastatic colorectal cancer with extensive thromboembolism."

A recent study links exposure to radiation from medical imaging to a small-but-significant risk of blood cancers among children and adolescents.

PicoQuant GmbH announces its investment in FluoBrick Solutions GmbH, a newly founded Berlin-based start-up focused on giving life science researchers in academia and pharma diagnostics access to the power of single molecule techniques.

CAR T cells are patient-derived, genetically engineered immune cells. They are "living drugs" and constitute a milestone in modern medicine. Equipping T cells, a key cell type of the immune system, with a "chimeric antigen receptor" (CAR) enables them to specifically recognize and attack cancer cells.

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have successfully 3D printed lifelike human tissue structures that can be used for medical training for surgeons and doctors.

A new study from Finland shows that low labor market participation for non-retirement related reasons may be an early indicator of dementia already years before the first evident symptoms occur. The study also identified other social markers that may be indicative of dementia up to ten years before a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia or vascular dementia.

Researchers studying a Swedish aging cohort found no overall link between air pollution and telomere shortening, a key marker of biological aging. Intriguingly, dementia patients exposed to higher pollution showed longer telomeres, though results were statistically non-significant.

A new study published in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, a journal from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS), offers rare insight into what it's like to grow up as the child of a cardiothoracic (CT) surgeon mother, revealing a powerful blend of challenges, inspiration, and resilience.

A study from the Medical University of South Carolina, published in the Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, reveals that shorter storage durations of donor human milk are linked to reduced gastrointestinal complicatoins in premature infants, including necrotizing enterocolitis.

When a woman becomes pregnant, the outcome of that pregnancy depends on many things - including a crucial event that happened while she was still growing inside her own mother's womb.

Being racially or ethnically discriminated against may increase the risk of later developing psychotic symptoms, finds a major review of international evidence led by UCL (University College London) researchers.

A new Canadian study is offering a powerful message to older adults and those who care for them: it's never too late to bounce back.

Researchers assessed future urban heat exposure and adaptive capacity in 1,563 major cities worldwide, using high-resolution climate projections, local climate zones, and socioeconomic indicators. By 2100, hundreds of millions may live in cities exceeding habitability thresholds, with adaptation gaps greatest in low-income regions.

​A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign shows, for the first time, that severe flu infection in pregnant mice leads to a breakdown in placental and brain barriers, leading to the accumulation of potentially harmful molecules in the fetal brain.
