New protein interaction map sheds light on how brain cell communication breaks down in Alzheimer's disease

A study published in Nature Communications describes how lymphatic endothelial cells assist in generating robust immune memory, offering new insights into how the immune system functions.

New research has found that newborns exclusively fed colostrum, the breastmilk produced in the first 72 hours following birth, were five times less likely to develop a peanut allergy by 12–18 months, and 11 times less likely to develop multiple food allergies, such as egg or cow's milk, compared with infants who also received formula during that period.

When a new immunization to protect newborns from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) became available in late 2023, pediatricians at Temple University Hospital noted an unusually strong early interest from parents.

Weight-related peer teasing is a strong predictor of disordered eating behaviors in adolescents, particularly those at higher genetic risk, new research shows.

Meningococcal B cases have dropped by more than 70% in the five years since the South Australian Government introduced a publicly funded vaccination program, new data from the University of Adelaide has found.

When the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices met, confusion filled the room.

Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) found that combining a specialized diet with an approved medication interrupts the growth of high-risk neuroblastoma, a deadly pediatric cancer, by reprogramming tumor behavior. The findings were published in the journal Nature.

Fluctuations in brain activity, also known as neural variability, enable us to be flexible in adjusting our behavior to the current situation. A new study shows that neural variability increases throughout development before stabilizing in adolescence. And deviating from this trajectory is associated with worse executive functioning. The study was published Sept. 17 in Neuron.

People who suspect that their sense of smell has been dulled after a bout of COVID-19 are likely correct, a new study using an objective, 40-odor test shows. Even those who do not notice any olfactory issues may be impaired.

A new study in mice reports that concussions sustained early in life can cause subtle brain changes that re-emerge later in life. The findings, published in Experimental Neurology, may have significant implications for understanding the long-term impact of head injuries in children.

A new study from University Hospitals Connor Whole Health found that music therapy interventions involving singing, active instrument play, and relaxation/imagery may be more effective for reducing pain intensity than receptive interventions only involving live or recorded music listening among hospitalized patients with moderate-to-severe pain. The findings from this study were recently published in The Journal of Pain.

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a better way to enhance the clarity and detail of eye images used to diagnose disease by teaching artificial intelligence (AI) software the science behind the imaging process.

Chest pain ranks as the second most common reason for emergency department (ED) visits, making it a key concern for patients and doctors. However, 80% of these cases are considered low-risk and not related to heart disease, and for these patients, anxiety and panic disorders are frequent diagnoses.

Building on her previous research into maternal and infant health during pregnancy and after birth, epidemiology associate professor Nansi Boghossian has published new findings in JAMA.

The Northeast Valley Health Corp. in Los Angeles County could be a poster child for the benefits of sharing health data electronically.

A large-scale study by the University of Bath of more than 17,000 primary school pupils and 2,300 teachers across England has revealed dramatic differences in levels of physical activity in children during the school day, despite all schools following the same national curriculum.

"There's no downside to avoiding Tylenol or acetaminophen use while pregnant," President Donald Trump on Sept. 22, 2025, in a press conference.

Neuroinflammation is linked to a host of detrimental brain disorders, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. A collaborative research team from Houston Methodist and Rice University has developed a way to fight back with a tiny, bioengineered system to deliver anti-inflammatory proteins to specific targets in the brain.
