Major test of new method to control dengue mosquito shows community health benefit

University of Arizona researchers may have uncovered a connection between chronic pain and a somewhat uncommon immune condition, opening the door to future research on immune biomarkers for chronic pain.

A study led by researchers at Queen Mary University of London has found that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may help reverse changes in the immune system caused by menopause, potentially boosting immune health. The research reveals new evidence that menopause significantly alters women's immune system, increasing their vulnerability to infections.

Researchers at King's have found that certain breast lesions identified during routine screening may not always require removal. The findings could help reduce unnecessary procedures while maintaining high standards of patient safety.

The health risks from toxic exposures at Ground Zero of the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks are well documented, and diseases caused by those exposures continue to plague WTC responders as we approach 25 years since 9/11. A new study, led by researchers affiliated with the Stony Brook WTC Health and Wellness Program, centers on responder disease incidence for one of the deadliest cancers—lung cancer.

It might sound like a contradiction, but if you're feeling lonely, you're not alone.

Imagine you're away from home but forgot to pack your towel, razor or toothbrush.

Researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine have discovered a new way to regulate blood glucose levels using a lab-designed protein, possibly opening the door to a new treatment avenue for people with type 1 diabetes.

There may be a way to protect brain energy to preserve cognition—and the secret could lie on your plate. Think fish and seafood, meat, non-starchy vegetables, berries, nuts, seeds, eggs and even high-fat dairy products.

The 2025 darts World Grand Prix is currently well underway. One of the favorites to win the title is Luke "The Nuke" Littler, who in January became the youngest World Champion in history at just 17 years old.

A research team in Japan has developed an innovative system that can accurately detect genetic mutations in brain tumors within just 25 minutes. Genetic mutations are crucial markers for diagnosis of brain tumors.

Human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) are insidious. They can evade the immune defense and antiviral drugs by becoming "latent." In this state, they are largely invisible and unassailable. As long as these dormant viruses persist, there is no cure for HIV/AIDS. However, researchers at Ulm University Hospital have discovered a new way to reactivate latent HI viruses. This is made possible by the body's own protein RBP4, a transporter for vitamin A—and provides a new starting point for HIV cure approaches.

A Minnesota-based company is recalling two types of organic frozen spinach sold nationwide because they may be contaminated with Listeria, a bacteria that can cause serious or even life-threatening illness.

Adding genomic sequencing to newborn blood screening would detect hundreds of additional childhood conditions, providing much earlier diagnosis and treatment, according to a new study. A baby's genome, which stays with them for life, could also be re-examined if a health issue arises during their lifetime.

More than 200 health centers in eastern Congo are running out of essential medicine due to ongoing fighting and a lack of humanitarian aid, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) warned.

Societal stigma against autistic people may influence how much effort individuals put into 'prosocial' or charitable behaviors, according to a new study.

Immersive virtual reality experiences can reproduce visual hallucination effects, miming those induced by the use of psychedelic substances.

A study led by University of Massachusetts Amherst researchers demonstrates that their nanoparticle-based vaccine can effectively prevent melanoma, pancreatic and triple-negative breast cancer in mice. Not only did up to 88% of the vaccinated mice remain tumor-free (depending on the cancer), but the vaccine reduced—and in some cases completely prevented—the cancer's spread.

Novo Nordisk said Thursday it was buying US biotech firm Akero Therapeutics, which is developing treatments for a number of metabolic diseases, for $4.7 billion.
