US Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary signaled Thursday that he is open to revising strict warning labels on hormone replacement therapy, following testimony from experts who said the treatment's risks have long been exaggerated.

The aging liver undergoes dramatic changes in its functional organization and other key attributes, which may underpin its increasing susceptibility to disease, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine. The findings suggest the possibility of future therapies that would block or reduce such changes to treat or prevent age-related chronic liver diseases—effectively making the liver more youthful and resilient.

Acute lymphocytic leukemia is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in children, although it is rare. It begins in the bone marrow and rapidly progresses.

A new study by a Tulane University researcher casts doubt on a widely used shortcut in rectal cancer drug trials, raising concerns that some treatments may be fast-tracked for approval without evidence they help patients live longer.

The mystery of how cancers build up resistance mechanisms and evade the treatments that should have destroyed them is a hugely pressing question. Overcoming cancer treatment resistance—a phenomenon that contributes to as much as 90% of cancer-related deaths—is among the top missions of 21st century medical research.

Breastfeeding is often linked with better health for both mothers and babies, but it does not protect all women against breast cancer. The reason remains unknown. Since breast cancer in young women is on the rise, understanding why breastfeeding is protective in some women but not others is critical.

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a groundbreaking AI technology that reconstructs precise 3D bones and organs models from minimal X-ray images, slashing patients' radiation exposure by up to 99% compared to CT scans.

A new study led by Indiana University School of Medicine researchers revealed a potential strategy to address neurobehavioral challenges associated with neurofibromatosis type 1, or NF1, a genetic disease that primarily affects the skin and nervous system. The findings, recently published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, may also have implications for treating hundreds of other rare genetic diseases.

Mental health conditions are common among autistic adults, with 50% of autistic adults having a co-occurring condition, like attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety or depression.

A new opioid overdose study has identified several key risk factors associated with non-fatal overdoses, as well as a significantly higher overdose rate, drawing from a sample of people who use opioids in New Haven.

Despite an overall decline in prescribed opioid use in Canada over the past decade, a recent study found that people in poorer areas receive three times the prescriptions for opioids than those in wealthier areas.

From poached to panfried, when it comes to eggs, it's all sunny side up, as new research from the University of South Australia confirms that this breakfast favorite won't crack your cholesterol.

Understanding how our brain interprets social hierarchy or facial emotions may be key to advancing our knowledge of anxiety and mood disorders. This is the aim of the project led by researcher Maya Visser at the Universitat Jaume I in Castelló, which studies the role of the anterior temporal lobe (ATL) in the brain network that gives meaning to social and emotional concepts.

When people worry that they're getting sick, they are increasingly turning to generative artificial intelligence like ChatGPT for a diagnosis. But how accurate are the answers that AI gives out?
