The MIRA2 study conducted at the University of Helsinki investigated bone metabolism and the intake of nutrients critical to bone health, such as calcium, vitamin D and protein. The study involved children residing in Helsinki aged between two and seven who followed a vegan, vegetarian or omnivorous diet, as well as their caregivers.

To move forward or migrate, the different cells in our body must exert forces or interact with their surrounding environment. Interestingly, however, a fault in these interactions can also be the reason for the spread of deadly cancer cells, such as in a brain tumor, or glioblastoma. While the importance of these interactions is well-understood, the machinery involved in these interactions at the molecular level remains a mystery.

University of Western Australia's Burn Injury Research Unit with the Fiona Wood Foundation reports that topical pan-lysyl oxidase inhibition with PXS-6302 was generally well tolerated over three months and altered extracellular matrix measures in mature scars.

Researchers at Emory Goizueta Brain Health Institute and partner institutions have found new clues in the blood that could help explain why Alzheimer's disease develops and how it affects memory.

An international team of scientists led by researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS), Imperial College London and the University of Cologne have discovered that microbes associated with tumors produce a molecule that can control cancer progression and boost the effectiveness of chemotherapy.

Running has a huge number of benefits. The popular workout can prevent disease, improve mental health and even slow the biological aging process.

Detroit kids 17 and under were nearly three times more likely to be hospitalized for asthma than other kids in Michigan, according to data from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services released on Sept. 2, 2025. The data examines the years 2019 to 2023.

You may have lived in Australia for most of your adult life, speaking English every day.

On the night TJ McGee overdosed from a mixture of drugs and alcohol in his freshman year at UC Berkeley, his friends found him passed out in the hallway by their shared dorm room.

The cerebellum, a brain region located at the back of the head that has long been known to support the coordination of muscle movements, has recently also been implicated in more sophisticated mental functions. Purkinje cells are the only neurons located in the cerebellum that integrate information in the cerebellar cortex and send it to other parts of the nervous system.

With limited treatment options for stroke patients available, two UConn researchers are developing an experimental drug that is capable of protecting the brain and improving recovery after a cerebral vascular accident also known as a brain attack.

Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo shocked America's medical establishment last week when they said they would try to remove requirements that kids get vaccinated to attend school.

Flavored drinks without sugar can be perceived as sweet—and now researchers know why. A new study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, published in the journal Nature Communications, reveals that the brain interprets certain aromas as taste. The paper is titled "Tastes and retronasal odours evoke a shared flavour-specific neural code in the human insula."

A school-age child has died from a rare complication of measles contracted in infancy, Los Angeles County health officials said Thursday.

School closures during the COVID-19 pandemic imposed enormous long-term costs while other measures delivered better health outcomes for far less money, according to new research led by Oxford University's Department of Statistics and the Leverhulme Center for Demographic Science analyzing non-pharmaceutical interventions in the United States.
