Peripheral nerve regeneration driven by hundreds of unknown RNA molecules

A recent study in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior evaluated the feasibility of Nutri, a user-centered digital platform designed to support personalized, evidence-based diet goal setting during routine primary care visits for patients with type 2 diabetes. Findings show that primary care providers (PCPs) who used the system consistently, found it usable and satisfactory, and that patients were able to engage with the intervention effectively.

A clinical trial led by the Germans Trias i Pujol University Hospital and Research Institute has found that women experience some of the subjective effects of acute alcohol intake, such as drunkenness and sedation, more intensely than men, when consumed over a short period of time.

In a routine blood test that turned extraordinary, French scientists have identified the world's newest and rarest blood group. The sole known carrier is a woman from Guadeloupe whose blood is so unique that doctors couldn't find a single compatible donor.

Infections in the brain can have serious consequences and are often fatal. The immune defense system works differently here than in the rest of the body. A team of researchers at TWINCORE—Center for Experimental and Clinical Infection Research in Hanover—has now discovered, in collaboration with partners, which signaling pathways play a central role in communication between immune cells in the brain in their defense against viruses. The results have now been published in the Journal of Neuroinflammation.

You may be seeing elaborate shower cleansing routines on social media: daily exfoliation, double cleansing, antibacterial soap, loads of scented body scrubs and shower oils.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women worldwide and represents a major public health concern due to its high incidence and significant mortality rates. In the U.S. alone, approximately 297,790 new cases of invasive breast cancer were reported in women in 2023, resulting in an estimated 43,700 deaths.

A research team led by Prof. Liu Qingsong from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Science has developed IHMT-15130, a selective and irreversible inhibitor of Bone marrow kinase in chromosome X (BMX) kinase, which showed robust efficacy in preclinical models of cardiac hypertrophy.

The U.S. is having its worst year for measles spread in more than three decades, with a total of 1,288 cases nationally and another six months to go in 2025.

Researchers from Tel Aviv University and the Israel Institute for Biological Research in Ness Ziona have used the platform developed for COVID-19 vaccines to create the world's first mRNA-based vaccine against a deadly, antibiotic-resistant bacterium.

Riding on horseback through brush and over numerous dead turkeys, Margo Mellon spent Tuesday scanning the flood-ravaged ground of Texas' Hill Country for dead bodies.

It's been recognized for some time that Alzheimer's disease affects brain regions differently and that tau—a protein known to misbehave—plays an important role in the disease. Normally, tau helps stabilize neurons, but in Alzheimer's disease, it begins to misfold and tangle inside neurons. It spreads across the brain forming toxic clumps that impair neuronal function and ultimately lead to cell death.

Recent research introduces a soft, injectable material designed for use in the eye to help protect and support damaged retinal tissue. It offers a gentle, biocompatible way to stabilize the inner eye environment and may assist future treatments like cell therapy and drug release.

An artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by Mayo Clinic and Ultromics, Ltd., an AI echocardiography company based in Oxford, England, is highly accurate in screening for cardiac amyloidosis, a rare and progressive type of heart failure, according to a new study. The model is the first and only AI tool of its kind.

We're constantly told to "eat healthy"—but what does that actually mean? Even doctors sometimes struggle to offer clear, practical advice on which specific foods support health, why they work and what real benefits people can expect.

For years, people living with obesity have been given the same basic advice: eat less, move more. But while this mantra may sound simple, it's not only ineffective for many, it can be deeply misleading and damaging.

As psychiatrists practicing within medical schools, we provide care not only for general patients but also for medical students struggling with emotional distress. Most aspects of medical school—academic, clinical, and personal (or more accurately, the absence of personal life)—are undeniably stressful. Yet despite being exposed to similar pressures, only a subset of students goes on to develop significant mental health issues. Why?

A new study from CUNY SPH researchers puts forth a straightforward way to measure whether hospitals are providing fair access to care for low-income and uninsured patients.

Cedars-Sinai investigators led an update of staging guidelines for HPV-positive throat cancer—now more common in the U.S. than cervical cancer, according to the American Cancer Society—that will make treatment of early-stage disease more consistent and appropriate. Their study was published in The Lancet Oncology.
