Skin pigmentation can reduce pulse oximeter accuracy

Chemotherapy used to target and kill bladder cancer cells may trigger an inflammatory response that ultimately may make the cancer more resistant to treatment, according to new research from scientists at Houston Methodist.

Adverse experiences and environments in childhood may cause a chain reaction of mental and physical health problems later in life, according to new University of Georgia research.

Thousands of health workers lost their jobs this week after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling cleared the way for the Trump administration to move forward with major staffing cuts.

YoCrunch yogurt products are being pulled from store shelves nationwide due to a safety concern, its manufacturer announced Monday.

Cells and tissues surrounding a breast cancer tumor may hold critical information about how patients will respond to treatment, according to a new study from Johns Hopkins University.

mRNA bundled in lipid nanoparticles trains T cells in mice to eliminate cancer. Coupled with noninvasive imaging, researchers tracked the in situ CAR-T cells to assess their effectiveness and safety.

Autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA), the most common genetic optic neuropathy, is an insidious disease. It often presents slowly during childhood by way of blurry vision, trouble reading or focusing, and sometimes only as a failed vision test.

A federal appeals court has ruled that West Virginia can limit access to mifepristone, a medication used to end early pregnancies.

In the 2000s, when I worked as a psychologist in long-term elderly care and primary health care services, many of the patients I saw were living with chronic or complex conditions. These situations required that patients trust care providers, consistently adhere to treatments and, often, receive care over an extended period of time.

At the University of Missouri, researchers are studying how a common medication can be repurposed to help improve gut health in people with autism. A new pilot study from Mizzou suggests that propranolol, a common blood pressure drug, may also help ease stomach issues for some people with autism.

Research led by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) is shedding new light on how ovarian cancer evolves—insights that could help researchers develop more effective treatment strategies.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how people's brains develop and function, impacting behavior, communication and socializing. It can also involve differences in the way you move and walk—known as your "gait."

All day long, our brains carry out complicated and energy-intensive tasks such as remembering, solving problems, and making decisions.

New research has identified the enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase 1 (GLUD1) as a new therapeutic target for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In preclinical DMD mouse models, investigators demonstrated that inhibiting GLUD1 significantly enhances muscle strength and coordination, signaling a potential shift toward restoring muscle function rather than just managing symptoms. The groundbreaking study in The American Journal of Pathology points toward a promising and feasible pathway to treat DMD based on muscle glutamate exploitation, addressing a clinically unmet need.

A research team has identified, for the first time in humans, and in a realistic environment, a key neurophysiological mechanism in memory formation: ripple-type brain waves—high-frequency electrical oscillations that mark and organize the different episodes or fragments of information that the brain stores as memories.

In the last decade, the incidence of restrictive eating disorders in children, like anorexia-nervosa and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorders (ARFID), has doubled. These disorders have severe consequences for growing children, resulting in nutritional deficiencies and problems with bone development, statural growth and puberty. Most studies have focused on the effects of these disorders in older individuals, and little is currently known about how restrictive eating disorders affect the brain in children or what mechanisms in the brain might be responsible for this restrictive eating behavior.

From the moon landing to the Kennedy assassination and, most recently, to the fate of Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged client list, conspiracy theories have long captivated Americans' attention.

More than 10,000 adults each day are celebrating their birthdays with 65 candles on the cake. Although that may be a cause for alarm for some, it's never too late to develop healthy aging habits and change mindsets on aging, a Texas A&M University expert says.
