New study links blood proteins to Alzheimer's disease and memory loss

There is at present no quick, reliable, and evidence-based way of evaluating the extent of nerve damage and need for surgical intervention after a patient experiences an acute injury.

According to a recent study, older Americans with chronic low back pain who received acupuncture had greater improvement in physical function and reduced pain than those who received usual medical care only, generally prescribed medications or physical therapy.

A simple fitness tracker might hold the key to revolutionizing maternal health care. Scientists at Scripps Research have found preliminary evidence suggesting that common wearable devices such as the Apple Watch, Garmin and Fitbit could remotely monitor pregnancy-related health changes by tracking physiological patterns—like heart rate—that correlate with hormonal fluctuations.

Tumor immunotherapies, especially those leveraging T-cells to identify and eliminate cancer cells, represent a major breakthrough in cancer treatment. However, many tumor-associated antigens are not expressed at a high enough density on the cancer cell surface to effectively activate T-cells, and these antigens are often present at low levels in normal tissues, leading to poor treatment specificity and potential off-target toxic side effects.

A research team from the Department of Pathology at the University of Hong Kong's LKS Faculty of Medicine (HKUMed) has discovered that atorvastatin, a widely used cholesterol-lowering drug, could become a powerful new weapon in the fight against liver cancer.

A simple AI model has been shown to perform on a par with experienced dermatologists when assessing the aggressiveness of a common form of skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma. The research was headed by the University of Gothenburg.

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.

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. But if you acquired the language later in life and then develop dementia—a brain condition that affects thinking, memory and everyday function—you may lose fluency and find the language you spoke as a child takes over again.

The ABC this week revealed more than 600 side effects have been reported in three years to the medicines regulator after Australians took unapproved medicinal cannabis.

With the cold and flu season approaching, Maryland health officials issued guidance Wednesday on who may receive COVID-19 vaccines and whether insurance will cover the shots—a shifting landscape a top regulator described as "confusing."

Following a green-Mediterranean diet—which includes green tea and the aquatic plant Mankai—is associated with slower brain aging, according to a study.

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.
