The NHS ten-year health plan is missing a crucial ingredient: Nature

A Loughborough University student has developed a new medical device that could transform how prostate health is assessed and monitored.

A study led by Cambridge researchers has shed light on how neural stem cell grafts could help restore myelin in the central nervous system. The findings suggest that neural stem cell‐based therapies hold promise as a potential treatment for chronic demyelinating disorders, particularly progressive multiple sclerosis.

The incidence of chronic constipation increases as we age. A new study from Mass General Brigham researchers compares five common diets to determine the effectiveness of preventing chronic constipation in middle- and older-age adults.

In modern hospitals, timely and accurate decision-making is essential—especially in radiology, where contrast media consultations often require rapid answers rooted in complex clinical guidelines. Yet, physicians are frequently forced to make these decisions under pressure, without immediate access to all relevant information. This challenge is particularly critical for institutions that must also safeguard patient data by avoiding cloud-based tools.

In biomedical science, the immune system is described as a cellular defense network that identifies and neutralizes threats. In te ao Māori (the Māori worldview), it can be seen as a dynamic system of guardianship, known as te pūnaha awhikiri.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people on dialysis are far less likely to be waitlisted for a transplant, according to Australian research. To receive a kidney transplant from a deceased donor, patients must undergo a series of tests and medical assessments before they can be placed on the active waitlist.

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a highly aggressive form of blood cancer that can occur in both children and adults. It is characterized by failures in the maturation of T-lymphocytes, key immune cells involved in the defense against infections and cancer, which, instead of performing their function, proliferate uncontrollably in the bone marrow. While the cure rate in children exceeds 80%, in adults it remains at around 40% and is associated with a high probability of relapse following chemotherapy.

A team of researchers from TU Dresden and FU Berlin conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the connection between childhood maltreatment and the internal "sense" that allows us to perceive and understand the signals generated by our own bodies, known as interoception. The results have now been published in the journal Nature Mental Health.

Salmonella cases in England are the highest they've been in a decade, according to recent UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) data. There was a 17% increase in cases observed from 2023 to 2024—culminating in 10,388 detected infections last year. Children and older adults accounted for around a fifth of cases.

A team of Mayo Clinic researchers has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can detect surgical site infections (SSIs) with high accuracy from patient-submitted postoperative wound photos, potentially transforming how postoperative care is delivered.

There's long been evidence that what we eat can affect our risk of dementia, Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline as we age. But can any one diet actually keep the brain strong and lower dementia risk? Evidence suggests the so-called "Mind diet" might.

For years, scientists have believed that inflammation inevitably increases with age, quietly fueling diseases like heart disease, dementia and diabetes. But a new study of Indigenous populations challenges that idea and could reshape how we think about aging itself.

Adding bile acids as farnesoid X receptor agonists to the culture medium supported the growth and development of unique stem cell-derived hepatic organoids, report researchers from Japan. These three-dimensional liver organoids were capable of sustained, long-term proliferation while retaining hepatocyte-like features. Their findings could have the potential to drive future research on chronic liver disease and result in newer therapeutic approaches to treat it.

The public health provisions in the massive spending package that President Donald Trump signed into law on July 4, 2025, will reduce Medicaid spending by more than US$1 trillion over a decade and result in an estimated 11.8 million people losing health insurance coverage.

Bedtime can be tricky for parents, especially when their child is experiencing behavioral sleep problems, but help is on the way with an app in development designed to help parents manage their child's sleep problems.

University of Wisconsin–Madison–led researchers report lower yet statistically non-significant recurrence of Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) among adults given low-dose oral vancomycin during antibiotic therapy.

The brain doesn't merely register time—it structures it, according to new research from the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience published in Science.

A new study led by the University of Hertfordshire for the East of England's first specialist children's hospital has found that shared mealtimes in hospital settings can significantly improve the health and well-being of children and young people.
