Select gut bacteria protect mice against post-influenza virus secondary bacterial pneumonia, according to a study published by researchers in the Institute for Biomedical Sciences at Georgia State University.

A new study demonstrates the effectiveness of a widely-used eye injection to manage the previously untreatable rare condition, hypotony, in a project by clinical researchers at University College London (UCL) and Moorfields Eye Hospital.

Mutations in the tumor suppressor TP53 are a common cause of cancer, making the altered protein an attractive target for therapeutics.

A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Communications, reveals how rhythmic brain waves known as alpha oscillations help us distinguish between our own body and the external world.

Smoking tobacco is known to worsen symptoms of periodontitis and reduce responsiveness to treatment. Using high-resolution spatial transcriptomics, researchers identified differences between smokers and non-smokers in the expression of genes that weaken gum epithelial integrity and cause bone damage through inflammation.

A previously unknown mechanism that makes it possible for aggressive so-called triple-negative breast cancer to fine-tune its production of proteins has been discovered by researchers at Umeå University, Sweden.

Bullying in the United States remains a serious public health issue with consequences that extend far beyond the school grounds.

A new study finds that worrying about police brutality and harassment is associated with physical markers of cardiovascular health risk in Black women in the United States.

A new study by the National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) has identified several sets of genes related to the predisposition to develop pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (the most common type of pancreatic cancer), as well as the prognosis of the disease once it has appeared.

Rates of multiple myeloma (MM), the second most common blood cancer in the United States, are increasing and are twice as high in men than in women

Researchers examine how the effectiveness of weight-loss medications may depend on the patient adherence.

In about 5–10% of colorectal cancer patients, hereditary factors play a role, with higher percentages among younger patients.

Researchers from University of California San Diego report that an expanded, school-based tobacco prevention program in California was associated with significantly lower rates of smoking and vaping among middle and high school students.

It is well known that obesity typically leads to inflammation and dysfunction of fat tissue that increases the risk of developing metabolic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have led the first clinical trial in the world to show that cancer drug treatments can be safely and effectively personalized based on the unique DNA of a patient's tumor.

High HPV vaccination rates in Swedish schools significantly lower cervical cancer lesion rates, highlighting the importance of universal immunization programs.

Physical exercise is one of the main recommendations for maintaining good health. However, when practiced compulsively and without control, it can become a problem: exercise addiction.

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

People of normal weight may also be at risk of diabetes and similar diseases. A study from the University of Gothenburg reveals that those with an unexpectedly high so-called metabolic BMI have up to a five times higher risk level.

Veteran male athletes who have spent years training at high intensity may be at greater risk of serious heart problems while exercising, new University of Leeds research shows.
