Study finds protein target that predicts drug resistance in colon cancer

New research shows that veterans' mental health after leaving the military is shaped by more than just combat, with childhood trauma, deployment experiences and gender all influencing post-9/11 veterans' well-being, according to a team at Penn State.

A study by CUNY SPH doctoral student Raoul Kamadjeu provides important new data on how mpox, especially the Clade Ib strain, transmits within households. The paper is published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases.

Researchers at VIB and Ghent University have uncovered a key mechanism that protects the skin from harmful inflammation. The findings, published in Immunity, could open new avenues for treating chronic skin diseases and other inflammatory disorders.

New research shows that overall, the prevalence of adverse and positive childhood experiences reported by parents of teenagers hasn't changed substantially in the United States in recent years.

A new study from Karolinska Institutet suggests that some widely used heartburn medications may be linked to kidney problems over time. Researchers followed nearly 300,000 patients for up to 15 years to explore how these drugs might affect kidney and heart health.

When you're running up stairs or out on a jog, your muscles eventually start to feel heavy and weak. That's fatigue setting in, a sign that the muscles' energy reserves are becoming depleted. But a team of researchers led by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) biology professor Doug Swank, Ph.D., have discovered something surprising: certain muscle fibers have a built-in backup system that fights back against fatigue, potentially helping us keep going when we'd otherwise have to stop.

Researchers at the German Primate Center (DPZ)—Leibniz Institute for Primate Research in Göttingen have discovered that the brain reorganizes itself extensively across several brain regions when it learns to perform movements in a virtual environment with the help of a brain–computer interface. The scientists were thus able to show how the brain adapts when controlling motor prostheses.

The physical and mental health benefits of outdoor play are well established, but one in 10 parents of preschoolers and toddlers say their child plays outside just once a week or less.

Good sleep is key to good health, overall well-being, and optimal cognitive function. Disturbed sleep or lack of sleep can lead to various health issues such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and other morbidities, including Alzheimer's disease and obesity.

According to a recent study, 44% of people with chronic conditions who responded to a population-based survey experienced medication-related burden (MRB). The burden was most common among people with diabetes, heart disease, rheumatic disease or some other musculoskeletal disorder.

An innovative new pill could soon offer a new and affordable weight management treatment, following a successful clinical trial involving University of Bristol researchers. The results are published in a paper titled "A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot trial with open-label extension of Sirona, a hydrogel for weight loss" in Obesity.

Trains move through the world's subway stations in a consistent pattern: arriving, stopping, and moving to the next stop—and repeated by other trains throughout the day. A new study by a team of New York University psychology and linguistics researchers finds that our brains work much the same way when processing several words at once—as we routinely do when listening to others speak.

College can be a joyful time—of learning, forming lifelong friendships and having fun. But it's not without its challenges. National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, Oct. 19–25, brings attention to the struggles faced by students on campuses across the U.S., calling for increased education and resources.

Global mortality continues to fall. Life expectancy has improved to unprecedented levels and deaths in young children have plummeted. Yet for adolescents and young adults, especially those aged 15 to 24, little progress has been made, according to data from the latest Global Burden of Disease study. In parts of North America and eastern Europe, mortality in those aged 15–24 has actually risen in the past decade.

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have discovered a new biological mechanism that enhances the production of myelin—a substance essential for proper brain function and nerve communication.

In a landmark moment at the ESMO Congress 2025, pivotal studies have unveiled compelling evidence that a new class of anti-cancer agents—antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs)—can dramatically improve outcomes for patients with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer.

Doctors and researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC have developed a new treatment for epilepsy patients who don't respond to medication and aren't candidates for surgery. Their approach, published in Nature Communications, uses deep brain stimulation (DBS) that is tailored to each patient's unique brain wiring.

The "gut microbiome" has become a popular health term in recent years. It's easy to see why, with an abundance of research showing how important the trillions of microbes living in our gut are for health.
