Matcha latte for the likes: How 'performative eating' is changing our relationship with food

Two new studies from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have investigated how mutations that occur in muscles and blood vessels over time can affect aging. The studies, which are published in Nature Aging, show that such mutations can reduce muscle strength and accelerate blood vessel aging. The results can be of significance to the treatment of age-related diseases.

Too much fat can be unhealthy: how fat cells, so-called adipocytes, develop, is crucial for the function of the fat tissue. That is why a team led by researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn investigated the influence of primary cilia dysfunction on adipocyte precursor cells in a mouse model.

We often hear about the financial losses associated with internet scams, but new Griffith University research is shining a light on the toll it can take on a person's mental health.

Throughout her career, Laurie Heller has listened closely—not just to words, but to sound itself. In the Auditory Lab at Carnegie Mellon University, the psychology professor explores how the brain interprets everything from environmental clatter to the subtle noises that can spark deep feelings of safety, connection, or in some cases, rage.

In a large-scale multinational study involving over 400,000 women and men aged 37 to 70 years from six European countries, researchers from the University of Vienna, in collaboration with the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) (France) and the Kyung Hee University (Republic of Korea), investigated dietary habits and disease trajectories. The comprehensive data analysis shows that a plant-based diet is associated with reduced risk of multimorbidity of cancer and cardiometabolic diseases. The study is published in the journal The Lancet Healthy Longevity.

How severely a person experiences tinnitus is shaped by their mood, sleep quality and even personality traits, a new study has found.

Europe has registered a record number of outbreaks of mosquito-borne illnesses such as chikungunya and West Nile virus this year, the EU health agency said Wednesday, saying climate change was contributing to a "new normal."

A small Australian trial that used psychedelic-assisted therapy to improve the mental health and well-being of terminally ill patients is in the news today.

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have used artificial intelligence (AI) to design two new antibiotics effective against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, or "superbugs."

Personality tests have become increasingly popular. From hiring to dating, they promise to help us understand who we are and how we are similar, or different, to others.

If you suffer from psoriasis, vibrant, clear skin is no longer out of reach.

Talking about suicide can feel scary. But new data has found 1 in 3 Australian teenagers have thought about, planned or attempted suicide in the last 12 months—so starting the conversation is crucial.

A University of Queensland study suggests the antivenom given to people bitten by Eastern Brown Snakes may not be as effective as it could be, prompting a review of hospital cases.

Here's a hot tip for summer health: Pay attention to how warm your bedroom gets.

Cleveland Clinic researchers have discovered a connection between elevated blood levels of TMAO (trimethylamine N-oxide)—a byproduct of gut bacteria digestion of nutrients found in red meat and other animal products—and a higher risk of abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Blocking brain damage triggered by a glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, may slow the growth of the cancer and allow the brain to keep working better for longer, according to a new study led by UCL (University College London) researchers.

All cells in the body contain the same DNA, but different cell types express different genes; skin cells express genes for the skin, liver cells express liver genes, and so on. This coordination is crucial to help cells differentiate into their assigned roles, but a new study by researchers at the University of Chicago shows how cells can randomly "shake up" regions of the genome to express genes normally reserved for other cell types.

Routine testing for a specific lipoprotein known as Lp(a) would be a cost-saving way to significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and save lives, according to an international research taskforce led by Monash University.
