We fed people a milkshake with 130 grams of fat to see what it did to their brains—here's what we learned

Even after more than three decades of global efforts to promote inclusive sexual and reproductive health policies, many women with disabilities in Africa still face serious challenges. Their rights are often overlooked, and they have limited access to contraception and other essential services.

People with type 2 diabetes are up to four times more likely to have heart attacks, strokes, anginas and other coronary heart diseases than healthy people. Therefore, biomarkers that help us understand which individuals are at risk of being affected are needed.

Scientists have developed a new compound that could offer a breakthrough in the global fight against tuberculosis, history's deadliest infectious disease.

The last few weeks of summer, heading into Labor Day weekend, can sometimes mean vacations and driving more miles on the road for all people, including teens.

A new study by researchers at Simon Fraser University is shedding light on how the brain's wiring in early childhood lays the foundation for attention skills—a key step toward characterizing healthy developmental patterns that could help identify young children at risk for attention-related challenges like ADHD.

A team of researchers led by a Brown University cancer biologist found that when they introduced mutated blood cancer cells into mice and tracked them over time, the cancer cells affected not only non-mutated cells, but also the entire blood-forming system.

A new study by the Menzies-led DIABETES Across the LIFECOURSE: Northern Australia Partnership (the Partnership) has identified seven co-designed recommendations for schools to better support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people living with type 2 diabetes.

An international study led by MHH compares genomic data from national biobanks worldwide and identifies new risk factors in DNA that promote tumor development in the lining of the uterus.

UConn Health Disparities Institute share their insights about the national Black Women First Initiative and the path forward to improved care for Black women with HIV.

Forty-five percent of dementia cases are potentially preventable, and simple lifestyle choices including exercise, diet and social connection all contribute to your risk score. But what if these risk factors were leaving chemical warning signs of decline in your brain—long before any symptoms of dementia played out?

An interdisciplinary team of scientists has developed a technology to decode immune cell communication. By measuring interactions between cells, the method offers insights into how the human body fights viral infections, how malfunctions can lead to autoimmune diseases and why immunotherapies work for some people but not others.

Pancreatic cancer begins in the pancreas, which is located behind the stomach. It is often difficult to detect early because symptoms typically appear only after the cancer has spread. As a result, it is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage, which complicates treatment. Michael Kendrick, M.D., a hepatobiliary and pancreas surgeon at Mayo Clinic, explains how minimally invasive surgery is speeding recovery.

As the global population ages, the number of people aged 65 and older is projected to rise significantly over the next 25 years. But while we're living longer, we're also becoming more socially divided by age. Age segregation is on the rise and fewer people are regularly interacting with those outside their own generation.

People living in the most advantaged areas of Australia tend to drink more alcohol. But people who live in the least advantaged areas suffer the most alcohol-related harms, such as dying from alcohol-related disease or from alcohol-related injuries.

In a collaborative effort, researchers have uncovered a novel link between gut microbiota-derived palmitic acid (PA) and increased thrombosis risk in cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Ten years ago, researchers discovered a small group of people who derive no pleasure from music, despite having normal hearing and the ability to enjoy other experiences or stimuli. The condition, "specific musical anhedonia," is caused by a disconnect between the brain's auditory and reward networks.

On a hot day in July 2022, Professor Jay Graham hit the beach with an iPad in hand. He and Meredith Klashman, a student in the UC Berkeley–UCSF Joint Medical Program, approached a number of women at Santa Cruz's Cowell Beach, asking them to join their study.

John A. Moran Eye Center researcher Adam Dubis, Ph.D., is part of a big leap forward for the use of artificial intelligence in eye care.
