Positive social experiences were associated with longer survival, while childhood adversity predicted shorter survival in a 1,309-person longitudinal cohort followed for nearly 15 years. Epigenetic aging, particularly GrimAge2, emerged as the strongest potential pathway linking social experiences with mortality risk.

A naturally occurring gut molecule that could strengthen chickens' immune response against a wide range of bacterial infections, has been identified by University of Bristol-led research.

What if one of the keys to a healthier metabolism is understanding how and when the liver communicates with the rest of the body?

Men are less likely than women to seek help after experiencing intimate partner violence, and new research from George Mason University found that the main barriers include viewing it as a private matter, fear of retaliation, shame, and concerns about not being believed.

Use of hormone therapy later in life was associated with lower risk of developing dementia, according to a study published August 12, 2026, in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

Intensive, long-term blood pressure-lowering treatment reduced the risk of recurrent stroke by 38%, without increasing serious adverse events, in people who have survived an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Men are more likely than women to catch tuberculosis (TB), finds a new study led by UCL (University College London) researchers.

Orthoflaviviruses reshape mitochondrial structure, metabolism, redox signaling, and quality control differently across human and mosquito models, helping explain their contrasting infection outcomes. The review highlights mitochondrial pathways that may support acute cellular damage in vertebrates but persistent, non-lethal infection in mosquitoes, pointing to potential antiviral targets.

Social media can support connection, self-expression, help-seeking, and community among adolescents and young adults, but problematic use is associated with depression, anxiety, loneliness, poor sleep, and body image concerns. The review finds that mental health effects depend less on screen time alone than on how social media is used, what content people encounter, and their individual, developmental, and cultural context.

Google researchers developed AMIE, a Gemini-based multi-agent system combining real-time audio-visual perception, clinical reasoning, and low-latency dialogue for simulated video consultations. In a randomized OSCE across 100 clinical scenarios, AMIE Video matched or exceeded primary care physicians across core clinical measures, while patient actors preferred video over text, although real-world clinical validation is still needed.

A cancerous tumor is not a single enemy. It is made up of many different cell populations that can behave in very different ways.

Habitual cannabis users experienced about 9% fewer premature heartbeats on days they inhaled cannabis compared with days they abstained, a counterintuitive finding that adds to the complex and evolving understanding of how cannabis affects the heart, new UC San Francisco-led research found.

Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have found that pediatric-onset rheumatic and inflammatory diseases have distinct genetic architecture compared with adults.

Scientists have combined Artificial Intelligence (AI), genetics and gut microbiome analysis to shed new light on one of the most serious complications of Crohn's disease: intestinal fibrosis, the irreversible scarring of the bowel that often leads to surgery.

Triple-negative breast cancer accounts for approximately 15% of all breast cancer cases. It is characterized by the absence of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2 expression, rendering it insensitive to conventional endocrine and targeted therapies.

Anyone who has run while pushing a stroller knows stroller running can feel cumbersome and hard on the body. But does it increase the risk of injury? According to a new study from researchers at Penn State Berks, the answer appears to be no.

A new study published in the Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing reveals that four in ten inpatient psychiatric mental health registered nurses (PMH-RNs) experience high burnout.

The study found that workplace culture and day-to-day working conditions were among the strongest factors influencing whether nurses in the later stages of their careers chose to stay in the NHS.

A new research paper was published in Volume 18 of Aging on July 27, 2026, titled "Transcriptomic aging clock analysis identifies key genes in opioid dependence."

Research from scientists at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and collaborators has shed new light on how the human brain coordinates working memory, the process in which the brain encodes information for immediate or short-term use.
