A faulty ion channel function is a consistent biological feature of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), providing long-awaited validation for hundreds of thousands of Australians living with the debilitating illness.

Scientists have discovered that blocking a key cellular enzyme thought to protect against fatty liver disease may instead increase the risk of chronic liver damage and cancer as we age.

Scientists have discovered that a part of the brain may be behind high blood pressure.

Researchers examine how considering age and regional factors to QALY estimates can improve healthcare policy decisions and resource allocation.

Apathy, social withdrawal, and loss of motivation — the so-called ''negative'' symptoms of schizophrenia — are among the most disabling and hardest to treat.

A decade-long study links breastfeeding to lower anxiety and depression in mothers, suggesting long-term mental health benefits beyond the postnatal period.

Higher intake of certain food preservatives is associated with increased cancer rates, particularly breast and prostate cancers, highlighting safety concerns.
