Not all processed foods are bad for you. Here's what you can tell from reading the label

Teenagers who experience moderate or severe period pain are significantly more likely to develop chronic pain in adulthood, including pain beyond the pelvis, according to a major new study from the University of Oxford.

The first complete activity map of the brain has been unveiled by a large international collaboration of neuroscientists. The International Brain Laboratory (IBL) researchers published their findings in two papers in Nature, revealing insights into how decision-making unfolds across the entire brain in mice at the resolution of single cells.

Children with sickle cell disease are more likely to have dental problems—but fewer than half of those covered by Michigan Medicaid got dental care in 2022, according to a new study.

Cancer specialists have long known that anemia, caused by a lack of healthy red blood cells, often arises when cancer metastasizes to the bone, but it's been unclear why. Now, a research team led by Princeton University researchers Yibin Kang and Yujiao Han has uncovered exactly how this happens in metastatic breast cancer, and it involves a type of cellular hijacking. The research aims to help slow down bone metastasis—one of cancer's deadliest forms.

Researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have uncovered a promising new therapeutic target for Barth syndrome, a rare genetic condition with no current cure.

"My body is all used up, and I have no will left to live." Those are the first words of a new essay written by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Associate Professor Tobias Janowitz. They're the words of his late mother during the final days of her life.

A University of Oklahoma study published Sept. 3 in JAMA Surgery reports that acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH)—a blood-saving method in which a patient's blood is collected before going on heart-lung bypass and reinfused near the end of cardiac surgery—remains underused in the United States at 14.7%. Yet the study found that ANH lowered the likelihood of a transfusion by 27%, a decrease in blood use that could cut costs substantially while still protecting patient safety and outcomes.

Australia's fertility sector has been rocked by yet more reports of serious errors, this time involving sperm donors from overseas.

The hype around protein intake doesn't seem to be going away.

Rett syndrome is a rare neurological condition that disrupts physical and linguistic development, affecting around one in 10,000 women and even fewer men. For decades, researchers assumed that people with the condition, many of whom lose speech during early childhood, were confined to a limited range of cognitive and linguistic abilities.

Sleep-related risks in young adults are more complex than previously thought. Overlapping sleep problems can potentially increase the chances of accidents on the road and at work, according to a new study from Murdoch University.

A new Australian study has found that an automated AI camera can accurately detect diabetic eye disease with more than 93% accuracy in non-eye care settings.

In the morning, before you even open your eyes, your wearable device has already checked your vitals. By the time you brush your teeth, it has scanned your sleep patterns, flagged a slight irregularity, and adjusted your health plan. As you take your first sip of coffee, it's already predicted your risks for the week ahead.

Heat-related illnesses such as dehydration, sunburn, and heat stroke are known to be dangerous for everyone, but older adults are at heightened risk and are likely to suffer more drastic health consequences if those close to them, whether that be family members, friends, or caregivers, are not vigilant.

No benefit in terms of prevention of ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack and cardiovascular mortality after 1 year was observed when surgical left atrial appendage occlusion was performed in high-risk non-atrial fibrillation patients after valvular surgery, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2025.

A research team has identified a novel therapeutic target for recurrent meningioma through precision genomic analysis. By performing single-cell RNA profiling of recurrent meningiomas, the team systematically mapped the tumor's evolutionary process and its interactions with surrounding immune cells. The study revealed that the COL6A3 gene is a key driver of recurrence risk and a promising therapeutic target.

New mothers only have approximately one hour out of their waking day for rest, according to new research published in the British Journal of Psychology.

High-caffeine energy drinks such as Red Bull will be banned for sale to youths under 16 in England under plans announced by the government on Wednesday.
