Children with a rare and often fatal genetic condition may benefit from early treatment with vitamin B3, halting their significant deterioration, according to a new study.

As global climate change intensifies, heatwaves are becoming more frequent, longer, and more severe, emerging as an important environmental stressor for human health.

Researchers from the Universities of Hildesheim, Bonn, and Freiburg have now uncovered how human skeletal muscle responds to resistance exercise at the molecular level.

Cancer cells survive by hiding from the immune system's surveillance. A KAIST research team has developed a new anticancer platform that makes cancer cells send out their own danger signal—prompting immune cells to attack—while simultaneously delivering gene therapy.

Scientists have discovered two new mechanisms for how a well-established antibiotic works, paving the way for potential development of new antibiotic treatment.

Investigating lifestyle factors, this study highlights their role in quality of life for women with endometriosis, advocating for personalized care strategies.

Sleep disturbances are far more common among workers in mid-later life than previously believed, according to a study that links work-related stress to a range of wellbeing issues.

A new pan-European study has identified the key behavioral factors that influence whether healthcare professionals prescribe new, novel or non-routine treatments for patients with neurodegenerative diseases.

How do blood vessels form to reliably supply the body with oxygen and nutrients? A research team at the University of Basel has uncovered a key mechanism by which cells join to build new blood vessels.

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven, together with international collaborators, have discovered that blocking autophagy - the body's natural recycling system for worn-out cell components - in specialized blood vessels can reduce inflammation in mice with psoriasis.

Research shows that social media use, especially problematic and consumption-focused, is linked to materialism, influenced by culture and media literacy.

A study on caffeine's impact reveals product-specific effects on anxiety, memory, and stress among university students, highlighting mental health implications.

A study on SuperAgers shows exceptional memory isn't solely due to lower Alzheimer's genetic risk, highlighting the role of biological and lifestyle factors.

A review of 37 publications found that grape- and blueberry-derived polyphenols were associated with modest improvements in cardiovascular risk markers, particularly endothelial function. However, most studies were small or short-term, frequently tested concentrated products, and measured biomarkers rather than cardiovascular events.

This narrative review finds that adequate iodine supports thyroid hormone signaling, leukocyte metabolism, antioxidant defenses, and antimicrobial activity in humans and domesticated mammals. Both deficiency and sustained excess may impair immunity or promote thyroid inflammation, but precise immune-specific intake thresholds remain uncertain.

Plant-based diets are good for you. They promote gut, immune, metabolic and cardiovascular health, in part by cultivating a diverse community of intestinal bacteria.
