Here's what dermatologists are saying about your skin care routine: Keep it simple

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.

Fibroblasts, cells that repair heart damage, might cause a cycle of stiffening and scarring in certain heart conditions.

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.

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.

Only slightly more than half of women with epilepsy see a neurologist during pregnancy, a gap that could put both mother and baby at increased risk, according to new research presented at the 150th Annual Meeting of the American Neurological Association (ANA).

The timing of hormone replacement therapy may make a big difference in a woman's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Starting treatment within five years of menopause may lower the risk by as much as 32%, but delaying it until 65 or later can increase the risk by 38%, according to new research presented at the 150th Annual Meeting of the American Neurological Association (ANA).

Scientific evidence supporting the health benefits of male circumcision—surgical removal of the foreskin from the penis—dates back hundreds of years to observations made by physicians of their circumcised patients. More recently, research has continued to confirm that the procedure reduces penile inflammation, urinary tract infections, and acquisition of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, such as genital herpes and HPV (known to cause oral, cervical and penile cancers).

A new study shows that a TXA autoinjector delivers lifesaving treatment for severe bleeding as effectively as traditional IV methods—but in under five minutes and without the need for medical expertise. This breakthrough could transform trauma care in emergencies, making rapid, easy-to-administer treatment available in settings ranging from battlefields to roadside accidents, where every second counts.

In a new study, University of California, Irvine chemical and biomolecular engineering researchers report the creation of biomolecules that can help grow light-sensitive heart muscle cells in the laboratory. The development enables a biotechnology that could deliver light-triggered signals to the heart, improving its function, without requiring genetic modifications or invasive procedures.
