How tea, chocolate and apples could help lower your blood pressure
We're constantly told to "eat healthy"—but what does that actually mean? Even doctors sometimes struggle to offer clear, practical advice on which specific foods support health, why they work and what real benefits people can expect.

373. Peripheral nerve regeneration driven by hundreds of unknown RNA molecules

  • 1 week ago schedule
  • medicalxpress.com language

Unlike the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerve cells, whose long extensions reach the skin and internal organs, are capable of regenerating after injury. This is why injuries to the central nervous system are considered irreversible, while damage to peripheral nerves can, in some cases, heal, even if it takes months or years. Despite decades of research, the mechanisms behind peripheral nerve regeneration remain only partially understood.

375. A 'Google Maps' for tau movement sheds light on why some brain regions resist Alzheimer's

  • 1 week ago schedule
  • medicalxpress.com language

It's been recognized for some time that Alzheimer's disease affects brain regions differently and that tau—a protein known to misbehave—plays an important role in the disease. Normally, tau helps stabilize neurons, but in Alzheimer's disease, it begins to misfold and tangle inside neurons. It spreads across the brain forming toxic clumps that impair neuronal function and ultimately lead to cell death.

  • 1 week ago schedule

For years, people living with obesity have been given the same basic advice: eat less, move more. But while this mantra may sound simple, it's not only ineffective for many, it can be deeply misleading and damaging.

  • 1 week ago schedule
  • medicalxpress.com language

As psychiatrists practicing within medical schools, we provide care not only for general patients but also for medical students struggling with emotional distress. Most aspects of medical school—academic, clinical, and personal (or more accurately, the absence of personal life)—are undeniably stressful. Yet despite being exposed to similar pressures, only a subset of students goes on to develop significant mental health issues. Why?

  • medicalxpress.com language

Cedars-Sinai investigators led an update of staging guidelines for HPV-positive throat cancer—now more common in the U.S. than cervical cancer, according to the American Cancer Society—that will make treatment of early-stage disease more consistent and appropriate. Their study was published in The Lancet Oncology.

383. High glucose levels in people with diabetes linked to tripling of eye disease risk
