Cells usually viewed as menders may harm the heart

A study has tracked the acute muscle-building response in adults engaged in weight-training exercise who were fed either high-fat or lean ground pork burgers with the same amount of protein in each. The findings surprised the scientists, adding to the evidence that muscle-protein synthesis in response to weight training and a post-exercise meal is as complex as the high-protein foods people consume.

People who use e-cigarettes, cigarettes or both face an increased risk for developing diabetes, according to University of Georgia research published in AJPM Focus.

Experiencing intense anxiety, lethargy, irritability, or sadness can be debilitating when trying to accomplish a simple task. For a task as monumental as caring for a baby, these symptoms of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) affect one in five mothers, many who feel unsupported.

A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Communications, reveals that cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) promote DNA replication licensing in human cells by relieving inhibitory signals from RB tumor suppressor proteins. The findings add a new layer to our understanding of how cancer drugs work and may lead to better targeted cancer therapies in the future.

Every spring, Americans dutifully adjust their clocks forward to daylight saving time, and every fall, back to standard time—but no one seems very happy about it. The biannual time shift is not only inconvenient, it's also known to be acutely bad for our health. The collective loss of an hour of sleep on the second Sunday in March has been linked to more heart attacks and fatal traffic accidents in the ensuing days.

Pediatric brain tumors are the deadliest form of childhood cancer, yet most treatments are adapted from adult care and often miss the mark. A new study led by a second-year medical student at Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin outlines why kids' brain tumors are uniquely hard to treat and where the next generation of therapies is heading.

One fundamental feature of neurodegenerative diseases is a breakdown in communication. Even before brain cells die, the delicate machinery that keeps neurons in touch—by clearing away protein waste at the synapses—starts to fail.

A research team at the University of Missouri is working to predict which patients will benefit most from a specific type of cartilage transplant surgery, and some of the best clues may lie in patients' urine.

For pregnant women, ultrasounds are an informative (and sometimes necessary) procedure. They typically produce two-dimensional black-and-white scans of fetuses that can reveal key insights, including biological sex, approximate size, and abnormalities like heart issues or cleft lip. If your doctor wants a closer look, they may use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which uses magnetic fields to capture images that can be combined to create a 3D view of the fetus.

Cats may have a reputation for independence, but emerging research suggests we share a unique connection with them—fueled by brain chemistry.

As blood cancers are constantly evolving and developing mutations that grow resistance to current treatments, researchers in the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center's Leukemia and Drug Development Lab (LDDL) are constantly working to bring new treatments to patients.

About 4,700 bottles of Bariatric Fusion iron-containing multivitamins have been recalled because packaging does not meet federal safety standards, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

Every time you reach for a nonstick pan, you could be using chemicals that are now on the chopping block in the state of California.

There always seems to be someone on TikTok, YouTube or Instagram showing you a multistep skincare routine they swear by. They might use expensive products like snail mucin or red-light therapy masks that allegedly hydrate your skin or help reduce fine lines.

One in six American parents has delayed or skipped some or all of the standard childhood vaccines, according to a new Washington Post poll released Monday.

A large-scale international study led by the University of Liverpool has found little evidence that sodium valproate significantly impairs male fertility in men with epilepsy or bipolar disorder.

From Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital in Rome comes a report that a third-generation CAR T cell therapy targeting GD2, designated GD2–CART01, induced durable remissions and long-term survival in children with high-risk metastatic, relapsed, or refractory neuroblastoma.

Childhood loneliness is associated with cognitive decline and dementia risk in adulthood, according to a study published online Sept. 12 in JAMA Network Open.
