People who move to more walkable cities do, in fact, walk significantly more

Artificial intelligence-powered glasses developed by a University of Stirling researcher could dramatically improve how people with hearing loss experience sound.

A University of Houston researcher is reporting that various childhood experiences, both good and bad, may shape college students' eating behaviors. The study integrates earlier findings that show adverse childhood experiences negatively affect college students' eating behaviors, while positive childhood experiences do the opposite.

A team of researchers at the University of Missouri is on a mission to better understand which immune cells in pigs are most responsive to an influenza infection.

The July 4 floods in Kerr County, Texas, sent shockwaves across the country. Now that most of the victims' burials are over, the weight of grief is just beginning for loved ones left behind. It's the daily devastation of an upended world where absence is glaringly present, nothing feels familiar, and life is paused in dizzying stillness.

Threadworms, which are a type of parasitic nematode, spend a lot of time crawling around on human skin, poking and prodding to find the best place for entry before burrowing in. But disrupting a particular dopamine-sensing pathway causes them to lose interest, UCLA neurobiologists said in a paper published in Nature Communications.

Skin cancer is typically caused by damage to the skin's cells from ultraviolet radiation. But a recent case study has just shed light on another potential cause: human papillomavirus.

As the Premier League season kicks off, fans will debate their new kits almost as much as new signings. But could shirt color actually give teams a performance edge? Science suggests they can.

The human heart is an extraordinary organ. About the size of a fist, it works hard to pump over 7,500 liters of blood daily, delivering oxygen and nutrients to every part of the body while simultaneously removing waste, regulating core body temperature and supporting the health of organs and tissues.

A new study by researchers at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and Amsterdam UMC shows how targeted communication can help patients engage more with online health communities. Using atrial fibrillation (AF) as a case study, the research reveals which messages are most effective in raising awareness and encouraging participation.

Doctors treating kidney disease have long depended on trial-and-error to find the best therapies for individual patients. Now, new artificial intelligence (AI) tools developed by researchers in the Perelman School of Medicine and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania can analyze kidney disease at the cellular level to match the most effective treatments and speed up solutions. This breakthrough, published this week in Nature Genetics, could impact millions who have kidney disease.

Human beings can juggle up to 10 balls at once. But how many can they move through the air with their imaginations?

Toothpaste made from your own hair may offer a sustainable and clinically effective way to protect and repair damaged teeth.

Saliva is more than spit. It helps with chewing and swallowing, protects teeth and gums, and even has antimicrobial and digestive properties. However, certain conditions or medical treatments, such as hemodialysis, chemotherapy and radiation therapy, reduce natural saliva production. Now, researchers publishing in ACS Applied Polymer Materials have created a reusable hydrogel that releases artificial saliva over time, which could help provide sustained relief from dry mouth.

With increasing age, older adults are more likely to encounter health conditions and injuries that require opioid therapy for pain relief. This reality means that opioid overdoses are a concern for older adults as well as for their family members and other caregivers.

A new tool to understand how people imagine differently when reading could have potential implications for the treatment of mental ill health.

A new drug-releasing system, TAR-200, eliminated tumors in 82% of patients in a phase 2 clinical trial for individuals with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer whose cancer had previously resisted treatment.

Extreme heat can be hard on your heart. As temperatures rise, the heart pumps faster to move blood toward the skin to cool the body. This added strain on the cardiovascular system can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, especially for those with existing heart conditions.

The growth in firearm use for violent purposes in the most popular U.S. movies over more than two decades closely paralleled the increase in firearm use in real-world homicide rates among young people 15 to 24 years old, according to a new analysis published today.
