Researchers at The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have identified a role for the youth-associated protein TIMP2 in supporting the healthy function of microglia, the brain's resident immune cells.

Measuring waist size may be one of the simplest and most effective ways to detect obesity-related health risks, according to a study by Rutgers Health researchers.

Swansea University researchers have led major European study investigating how socio-economic circumstances influence survival among children born with major congenital anomalies.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) mainly affects premature and low-birth-weight (LBW) newborns and carries poor outcomes once surgery is required.

As temperatures continue to soar and amber heat-health alerts are issued across England, warnings are reaching the public but still failing to change behavior.

Brain stimulation can produce very different effects at different moments, even when the stimulus is delivered the exact same way.

Epilepsy remains a major public health challenge, but its burden is changing in ways that reveal health inequalities.

Bone healing is a complex process that depends on the coordinated activity of many different cell types.

A research project at UiA is working to combat one of the world’s most neglected tropical diseases. A mobile app has now been developed to train healthcare workers in Africa to detect the disease.

Glycoprotein VI, or GPVI for short, is a surface receptor found exclusively on platelets and their precursor cells, megakaryocytes in the bone marrow.

AI-based "tissue clocks" can estimate the biological age of human organs from histological images, researchers at the CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Network Medicine (LBI-NetMed) at the University of Vienna showed.

Outfitting cells in "invisibility cloaks" may offer an easier, less damaging treatment pathway for people with diabetes undergoing cell therapy, according to researchers at Penn State.

New research shows how the immune system actually behaves throughout pregnancy – cell by cell. In women with lupus, the immunological differences also persist after birth.

What do "epigenetic clocks" actually measure? These lab tests have become popular tools for studying biological aging, or how the body's cellular function changes at a faster or slower rate than expected.

Advanced wastewater treatment technologies are widely used to remove pollutants and pathogens before treated water is discharged or reused.

More Americans are choosing not to have children and remain childfree. But is it a nationwide trend? Researchers at Michigan State University have found that childfree people are more common in some states than others.

A brain must constantly cope with the highly variable, fast-paced nature of the world when trying to judge what's going on around it.

Three minutes of sprinting can do something that 90 minutes of moderate exercise apparently cannot: dramatically reshape the molecular contents of the bloodstream.

Most people in the UK already monitor their own health and wellbeing, and an overwhelming majority would be happy to do more if advised by the NHS, according to a new University of Manchester led study.

In a 30-year study of 973 middle-aged Swedish male automotive workers, alcohol consumption was associated with lower all-cause mortality and longer estimated time to death, while beer consumption was linked to a higher likelihood of myocardial infarction. No significant association was found between alcohol consumption and stroke, and the authors cautioned that socioeconomic differences, self-reported intake, and other unmeasured factors may have influenced the findings.
