A new study meticulously sampled different lung regions in people with cystic fibrosis to understand why infections persist after new treatments.

Changes in how brain cells generate energy may drive the development of Alzheimer's disease and influence how patients respond to therapy, according to a new study from Mayo Clinic researchers. The findings, published in the journal Alzheimer's & Dementia, spotlight mitochondrial complex I—a critical component of cellular energy production—as both a contributor to disease progression and a promising target for new treatments.

EU researchers are exploring how dolphin arteries stay healthy with age in the hope of unlocking new ways to improve cardiovascular health in humans.

Older adults with multiple chronic conditions face considerable challenges when deciding on surgical procedures due to the uncertain benefits and heightened risks involved.
