Certain oral microbes tied to increased risk of pancreatic cancer

If you could, would you pay to live forever? Some Silicon Valley billionaires aren't just making tech products—they've set their sights on immortality.

A multidisciplinary team has used advanced imaging and computational modeling to analyze the "crosstalk" between neurons and their supporting glial cells in the human brain. This approach highlights the brain's interconnected cellular network.

Apple has announced a package of health features, alongside the launch of the new Apple Watch Series 11, including an alert that the wearer may have high blood pressure, also known as hypertension.

What does wearing SPF50+ sunscreen every day do to your vitamin D levels? Our study, recently published in the British Journal of Dermatology, provides some answers.

Colorectal cancer remains a leading cause of cancer death, with incidence rising among older adults. One of the most pressing clinical questions has been whether elderly patients should receive oxaliplatin, a standard component of adjuvant chemotherapy that is known to cause serious side effects.

The investigational drug elinzanetant significantly reduces hot flashes and night sweats for postmenopausal women, a large, international clinical trial has found.

More than a third of the world's population is affected by metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, or MASLD, the most common chronic liver disease in the world.

A brain imaging technique developed by Columbia researchers has identified areas in the brain's cerebral cortex—just behind the forehead—that are most damaged by the repetitive impacts from heading a soccer ball. Their study also found that the damage leads to cognitive deficits seen in soccer players who head the ball frequently.

A new study, led by researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, captured details of glioblastoma that had never before been seen and revealed a surprise finding: Glioblastoma cells that "cluster" together with other cells of the same type are less deadly than those that disperse from these clusters. The findings were also corroborated in breast cancer samples and point to a possible new general principle of solid tumor biology.

Taking vitamin D2 might lower the body's levels of the more efficient form of vitamin D, vitamin D3, according to new research from the University of Surrey, John Innes Center and Quadram Institute Bioscience. Many people take vitamin D supplements to support their bone and immune health and meet the UK government recommendation of 10 micrograms (µg) each day, especially during the winter months.

The impact of chronic conditions on human health has become a research topic of growing focus in recent years. The prevalence of individuals living with two or more chronic diseases at the same time, combined with an aging population, has placed growing demands on the U.S. health care system.

A team led by Christian Baumgartner of the Institute of Health Care Engineering at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) has developed a highly detailed digital twin of the A549 lung cancer cell line. The twin builds on bioelectric processes and calcium dynamics in the cell interior in innovative new ways.

In the field of health, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) may mean major breakthroughs in personalizing diagnoses and treatments, but there is a need to promote bias-free AI with a more diverse and inclusive vision so that everyone can benefit from it.

Debate continues over the role of artificial intelligence in treating mental health conditions, but new research shows that machine learning models can help predict whether a person might benefit from certain treatments.

Researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine, Eskenazi Health, Regenstrief Institute and other partners have demonstrated the feasibility of conducting dementia prevention trials among older adults with limited formal education, a group at heightened risk for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.

Seeing your child in emotional distress is an overwhelming fear for any parent. Layer on language barriers and cultural differences, and it becomes an even bigger block to knowing where and how to get the mental health supports your child and family need.

Achalasia is a disease caused by impaired movement of the esophagus. Patients experience food getting stuck and regurgitated, as well as chest pain. Currently, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and high-resolution manometry are commonly used for diagnosis; however, these techniques are invasive.

Despite improved statin use and cholesterol control, cardiovascular disease risk rose in Mexico between 2016 and 2023, according to a study presented at ACC Latin America 2025 that used region-specific tools to more accurately predict the local disease burden.
