The environment we grow up in plays a critical role in shaping our lifelong health. The exposome refers to the totality of environmental exposures from conception onward, including factors such as air pollution, nutrition, stress, and social context.
Suicide remains a leading cause of death among adolescents and young adults worldwide. However, recent global data reveal heterogeneous suicide trends across regions.
Artificial intelligence can detect and interpret social features between people from images and videos almost as reliably as humans, according to a new study from the University of Turku in Finland published in the journal Imaging Neuroscience.
In the quest to address infertility, Cornell researchers have developed a groundbreaking device that could simplify and automate oocyte cumulus removal, a critical step in assisted reproductive technologies.
System-based disparities in predialysis access to nephrology care contribute to disparities in the likelihood of having a mature, usable arteriovenous access for starting hemodialysis (incident vascular access) among Hispanic individuals, according to a study published online Sept. 5 in JAMA Network Open.
Only forty-two percent of youths with sickle cell disease (SCD) received dental services in 2022, according to a research letter published online Sept. 3 in JAMA Network Open.
Over 5% of children and adolescents are diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) globally. This condition is characterized by a short attention span, hyperactivity or impulsive behavior that is age-inappropriate, making it difficult for patients to navigate interpersonal relationships, the formal education system, and social life.
Late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is the most common form of dementia, with symptoms appearing after age 65. Since carriers of clusterin risk alleles have an increased likelihood of developing LOAD, the associated clusterin protein is of interest to researchers. In order to better understand the function of the associated protein, researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry have deciphered the molecular basis for the chaperone function of clusterin.
Sepsis arises from infection and immune dysregulation. Neutrophils play a key role in its progression, yet existing clinical tools cannot simultaneously isolate these cells and measure their functional activity.
Cellphones are everywhere, including in the hands of homeless people, a population among America's sickest—average life expectancy is just 51—and among the hardest to reach by health care workers.
Compared with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), a de-escalated DAPT strategy resulted in similar graft occlusion rates and reduced clinically relevant bleeding in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session Sept. 1 at ESC Congress 2025, held in Madrid.
Anita Paulsen is a nurse and sexologist. She recently defended her doctoral thesis on sexual health communication after gynecological cancer. Through her work and research, she has met many cancer survivors who miss the intimacy in their lives.
Two molecular targets—human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) and cluster of differentiation 24 (CD24)—are highly promising candidates for new nuclear diagnostics and therapeutics for endometrial cancer, according to new research published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
A comprehensive study led by researchers from the A*STAR Institute for Human Development and Potential (A*STAR IHDP) has found that more than 1 in 4 healthy-weight Chinese women in their 20s and 30s already have low muscle mass and weaker bones—hidden risks for fractures and metabolic diseases that standard BMI measurements cannot identify.
Immune-checkpoint therapy (ICT), which attempts to harness a patient's own immune system to fight cancer, has revolutionized cancer care over the past two decades. However, many patients do not respond to this therapy, and drug resistance due to immune-evasive (or "cold") tumors remains poorly understood.
Vanderbilt researchers, including those from the Vanderbilt Brain Institute, have made significant strides in understanding how the enteric nervous system—sometimes called the "brain" of the gut—forms and functions.
The first tool designed to understand why young video gamers purchase loot boxes—digital items in games that offer random rewards after purchase—could potentially help identify early signs of gaming-related harms, researchers have said.
A single dose of LSD eased anxiety symptoms for many folks and the benefits lasted up to three months, a new study reports.
A pizza shop with 30 delivery people ought to be able to deliver a lot of pizzas—if their cars don't break down on the way. Likewise, genes that produce a lot of messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules can build a lot of proteins—if these molecules don't fall apart before the job gets done.
