GPS technology reveals that football practices can be up to 40% more demanding than games

The basic principle of weight loss is straightforward: if you consume fewer calories than you burn, you'll lose weight. In practice though, this isn't usually so easy or simple.

Humans have been fighting each other since the earliest stages of our species' history.

Sudden cardiac death is responsible for an unusually high proportion of deaths in female bodybuilders worldwide, according to research published in the European Heart Journal.

Garment workers face some of the most precarious working conditions in the world and are increasingly at risk from extreme heat stress caused by climate change.

A recently completed study indicates that the positive effects of a fatty acid called eicosapentaenoic acid vary significantly between individuals. The study emphasizes the importance of metabolism in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. It is published in the journal JCI Insight.

A research team has successfully developed a next-generation coil interface capable of efficiently and safely stimulating peripheral nerves. This breakthrough is significant in that it greatly enhances the efficiency and feasibility of non-contact nerve stimulation technology, enabling stimulation through magnetic fields without the need for direct contact between electrodes and nerves.

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have achieved a significant breakthrough by employing scatterometry, a technique originally used to measure semiconductor microstructures, for the analysis of neurons. By incorporating machine learning, the researchers enhanced the accuracy of structural analysis based on the diffraction patterns of light projected onto the samples.

A surveillance study compared international cancer incidence trends of 13 cancer types in younger and older adults.

Within the last two decades, multiple stem cell transplants and immunotherapy have been added to intensive chemotherapy as the standard of care for high-risk neuroblastoma, drastically improving survival of this childhood cancer.

With a simple standard MRI scan of the brain, it may soon be possible to predict which people with mental illnesses will gain weight after their initial diagnosis—thereby increasing their risk of physical diseases—and which ones will not.

Research from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, clarifies the complex interaction between gut bacteria and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Experiments demonstrate that gut bacteria can produce the important substance serotonin. The finding may lead to future treatments.

There are currently no available treatment options for more than 90% of the approximately 7,000 rare diseases identified to date. However, if these conditions result from correctable cellular or genetic defects, cell and gene therapies (CGTs) can significantly improve patients' quality of life and often represent their only hope for betterment of their condition. The catch is that CGTs come at a substantial cost to both payers and patients.

Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) is a common treatment for joint injuries. The invasive therapy involves extracting bone marrow—often from the hip—and concentrating it to preserve stem cells and growth factors, which help promote wound healing and tissue regeneration. The concentrated mixture is then injected into the injury site to speed up tissue repair and reduce inflammation. BMAC can be used on its own or in conjunction with surgery to repair ACL, MCL, and meniscus tears and other injuries.

The obesity rate has been steadily climbing and so have scientific efforts to understand why. A new study, published in Nature Communications, takes a closer look at the genes behind body weight and how they might point toward future treatments for obesity.

Researchers from the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology have found that two targeted immunotherapy drugs lead to high remission rates and long survival with reasonable side effects for older patients with a tough-to-treat form of leukemia.

A new study shows that preeclamptic and hypertensive pregnant women's risk of getting cardiovascular disease is linked to their baby's birthweight.

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) prescribed glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have significantly lower one-year mortality, especially those also diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), according to a study presented at CHEST 2025, the annual meeting of the American College of Chest Physicians, held from Oct. 19 to 22 in Chicago.

The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) released today the ESMO Guidance on the Use of Large Language Models in Clinical Practice (ELCAP), the first structured set of recommendations to bring AI language models into oncology safely and effectively. The publication of ELCAP in the journal Annals of Oncology coincides with a session on Chat GPT and cancer care at the ESMO Congress 2025 in Berlin, underscoring the growing role of AI in oncology.
