Food systems are key drivers of the world's most urgent challenges, from chronic diseases and rising inequality to accelerating climate change and biodiversity loss, according to the 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission on Healthy, Sustainable, and Just Food Systems.
Down syndrome is associated with accelerated aging. It is estimated that up to 90% of individuals with the condition develop Alzheimer's disease before the age of 70. A study by researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil identified high levels of neuroinflammation in young individuals with Down syndrome, an additional factor explaining the high prevalence of Alzheimer's disease in older people with the condition. The discovery paves the way for strategies to prevent and monitor the disease.
Most patients receiving chemotherapy with taxanes or platinum salts develop pain and loss of sensitivity in their hands and feet—a severe side effect that can interfere with proper treatment. Addressing this unmet clinical need, researchers at the Institute of Research, Development and Innovation in Health Biotechnology of Elche (IDiBE) at Miguel Hernández University (UMH) have coordinated an international clinical trial demonstrating the effectiveness of an innovative topical cream developed at UMH to relieve these symptoms and improve cancer patients' quality of life.
A study conducted by The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has demonstrated that a genetic variant, TREM2 H157Y, significantly increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in individuals of ethnic Chinese descent. The research reveals that this variant confers a risk level comparable to that of the strongest known genetic risk factor for AD, APOE-ε4, and is associated with more rapid clinical progression and more severe neurodegeneration.
How to identify the next dangerous virus before it spreads among people is the central question in a new Comment in The Lancet Infectious Diseases. In it, researchers discuss how AI, combined with the One Health approach, can contribute to improved prediction and surveillance.
In 2020, right when Jane Baude was starting her Ph.D. research at UC Santa Barbara, she learned that a critical component of her experiment—the gel needed to grow and test mammary epithelial cells—wouldn't be available for nearly a year because of pandemic-related production issues. So, she and her advisor, professor Ryan Stowers, decided to pivot: Baude would engineer her own gel to study cells.
In a paper published in Nature Communications, researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center's Department of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery leveraged two main studies—one focused on behavior and one focused on genetics—to highlight the correlation between participants' musical rhythm abilities and developmental speech-language disorders.
What if the presence of a well-known but misunderstood viral protein explains why some people living with HIV (PLWH) never recover their health, even with antiretroviral treatment?
Cancer researchers focused on improving the success of cancer immunotherapies introduced a new tool in a Yale study published in Nature Chemical Biology.
An association between higher education and better brain health can still be seen in people over 90, according to a new study. In contrast, midlife risk factors for cardiovascular disease were not found to be linked to memory function at this advanced age.
The European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) has released its ninth special report on indications for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. The report provides updated guidance for clinicians treating hematological diseases, solid tumors, and immune disorders.
