FDA publishes full texts of response letters to drug applications

There are few scientific methods more elegantly simple than "just sprinkle it on top." Researchers at Tohoku University and Nagoya University developed a fluorescent probe that can quickly show synapses, the connection points between brain cells.

According to survey data from the Stanford Center on Early Childhood, families—across all income levels, races, ethnicities and regions—are increasingly considering how extreme weather conditions affect them. More than half of families with young children across the state are worried about its effects, according to data from the center's RAPID Survey Project, which examines early childhood and family well-being. Heat, in particular, is a significant concern.

Humans can remember various types of information, including facts, dates, events and even intricate narratives. Understanding how meaningful stories are stored in people's memory has been a key objective of many cognitive psychology studies.

Researchers from KU Leuven, the University of California Davis Medical Center, the University of Cologne, and over 20 collaborating institutions report that the antifungal olorofim demonstrated efficacy and tolerability in patients with invasive fungal disease who had exhausted most other treatment options.

Research led by the University of Arizona Health Sciences found a potential link between growth problems among infants and high levels of toxic metals and other elements in the breast milk of Mayan women in Guatemala's Lake Atitlán watershed region.

Already in 2025, the United States has reported more measles cases than in any full year since the early '90s, according to federal data. And that record-setting case count has been driven by a massive outbreak that began in Texas.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction models have improved the ability to stratify adults across the CVD risk spectrum. Researchers at Sutter Health and colleagues at Stanford University tested the performance of the American Heart Association's Predicting Risk of CVD Events (PREVENT) equations in the six largest Asian subgroups as well as in Mexican and Puerto Rican Hispanic subgroups.

Young patients with advanced Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system, now have a better chance of having their own children after treatment.

New research led by the University of South Australia has found that frequently attending in-person events can significantly boost well-being.

A new weekly injectable drug could transform the lives of more than eight million people living with Parkinson's disease, potentially replacing the need for multiple daily tablets.

Women diagnosed with premenstrual symptoms have a slightly increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease later in life. This is shown by a new study from Karolinska Institutet published in Nature Cardiovascular Research.

To simulate blood flow inside brain aneurysms, researchers from Japan have developed a computational method that combines 4D flow MRI, computational fluid dynamics, and data assimilation, which provides greater accuracy and efficiency. By focusing only on the aneurysm region, this approach significantly reduces computational cost while improving flow estimation. When validated on patient data, it outperforms conventional models—offering a practical tool for patient-specific risk assessment and treatment strategies.

A new federal estimate shows a rise in prediabetes among American adolescents, a finding that is spurring concerns about the health of U.S. children—and the way Trump administration health officials are conducting research and communicating information, experts said.

A new study finds socioeconomic disparities in rates of emergency department (ED) visits for concussion among children and youth.

Approximately 40% of the European population are allergic to pollen, and their symptoms cause an estimated loss of 100 million school and workdays every year.

The involvement of children's social care services was a common factor in nearly a third of UK maternal deaths occurring during, or within a year of, pregnancy between 2014 and 2022, finds research published in BMJ Medicine.

Children from ethnic minority backgrounds and those living in areas with higher levels of child poverty were more likely to die in intensive care than white children and those from the least deprived areas.

Being consistently physically active in adulthood is linked to a 30–40% lower risk of death from any cause in later life, while upping levels from below those recommended for health is still associated with a 20–25% lower risk, finds a pooled data analysis of the available evidence, published online in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
