The first clues that a baby may develop eczema or food allergies could be hiding in the microscopic organisms living on their skin, according to a study led by researchers in Washington State University's College of Veterinary Medicine.

Blood pressure thresholds commonly used to identify dangerously unstable vital signs in children may not signal trouble soon enough after a traumatic injury, according to a national study of more than 230,000 pediatric trauma patients.

A growing body of evidence shows that exercise improves mood and cognitive function. However, much of this evidence comes from cycling, which allows researchers to precisely control exercise intensity in the laboratory.

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal providing fresh evidence on the effectiveness of medical and surgical treatments for mitral regurgitation (MR).

Announcing a new article publication for BIO Integration. Myocardial infarction (MI) is characterized by extensive immune activation and dynamic remodeling of the cardiac microenvironment, in which myeloid cells play critical roles in regulating inflammation and tissue repair.

Despite the revolutionary impact of immune checkpoint inhibitors on cancer therapy, 60% to 80% of patients with NSCLC still show suboptimal responses.

The strain of Mpox behind the 2022 outbreak was a weakened form of the virus, which may have helped to spread it faster, a new study from the University of Surrey reports.

A new research project launched by Kidney Wales and Aston University will explore how living with chronic kidney disease affects people's financial wellbeing.

In an Arthritis & Rheumatology analysis of data on 60,980 US adults with autoimmune rheumatic conditions who developed COVID-19 between December 2020 and August 2024, those who received booster or updated (2023-2024) COVID-19 vaccines were less likely to be hospitalized for COVID-19 compared to those who received only the initial series vaccines or who were unvaccinated.

Burnout, depression, anxiety, and suicide are increasing in the nursing and overall health care workforce, which adversely impacts health care quality and safety.

New research in the International Journal of Clinical Practice suggests that workplace psychological stress may impair erectile function in young men by affecting certain stress management pathways in the brain and reducing testosterone levels.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine have uncovered a critical biological mechanism that helps explain how inflammation is triggered and sustained in a wide range of diseases-highlighting a promising avenue for future therapeutic development.

New research indicates that people with invasive cancer face an elevated risk of experiencing a stroke, especially in the first few months after diagnosis and especially if they have certain types of cancer.

EpilepsyGTx, a biotechnology company developing gene therapies for refractory epilepsy, and Viralgen, a leading contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) specializing in recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapies, today announced a partnership to support production of EpilepsyGTx's lead investigational gene therapy program targeting patients with focal refractory epilepsy (FRE), EPY201, ahead of first-in-human clinical trials.

A team led by investigators from the University of Osaka uncovers cellular mechanisms that favor long-lived antibody responses, providing insights that may help researchers design vaccines that provide longer-lasting protection against infection.

The review, led by Eva Marija Čad of the University of Ljubljana and Wageningen University & Research, alongside Professor Graham Finlayson of the University of Leeds and colleagues from other institutions in the Netherlands, Denmark, Spain and Belgium, was developed in connection with a 2025 webinar series hosted by the Institute for the Advancement of Food and Nutrition Sciences (IAFNS).

In a nationally representative cross-sectional study of 16,973 Korean adults, researchers identified three distinct eating patterns based on the timing and distribution of daily energy intake. Eating later within a shorter daily window was associated with higher odds of metabolic syndrome, elevated blood pressure, triglycerides, and fasting glucose, while frequent grazing showed a mixed metabolic profile.

A new study led by UCLA Health researchers has identified a specific type of brain cell and a tiny structure on its surface that changes when the body is under stress, which may help explain why stress can lead to anxiety and depression.

T cell receptor, or TCR, therapy is a cancer treatment that genetically reprograms immune cells, called T cells, to hunt down cancer with precision. It's similar to another treatment, CAR T-cell therapy, but with one key difference: CAR T-cell therapy can only spot proteins that naturally appear outside of a cancer cell.

A new UCLA Health study found that treatment of insomnia using cognitive behavioral therapy slowed the pace of biological aging in older adults.
