Cells from nine "super donors" are being collected in Oslo. The aim is for these to be used to repair or replace damaged cells, tissue and organs in people suffering from conditions ranging from heart attacks to Parkinson's disease.

Researchers at City of Hope, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the country, led the development of a new, investigational blood test that could detect pancreatic cancer at its earliest stages, when the disease is more treatable and potentially curable.

Less than a second. That’s how long it takes for an emerging AI tool to detect signs of endometriosis through one simple scan. It’s a much faster process than the current seven-year wait for surgery and less invasive.

An integrative review found that ketogenic therapy may influence metabolic, inflammatory, oxidative stress, and neurotransmitter pathways implicated in PTSD, with animal studies and small human studies reporting early signs of symptom improvement. Human evidence remains limited to very small cohorts, case reports, and pilot studies, and controlled trials have yet to establish clinical efficacy.
Early studies hint that ketones may affect pathways linked to PTSD
University of Warwick researchers have analyzed data from over 1.9 million people across 23 studies and found that ADHD is linked to an almost 50% increase in overall gastrointestinal symptoms compared with people without ADHD The association was even stronger for specific problems: nearly double the odds of constipation, a 58% increase in irritable bowel syndrome, and more than four times the odds of encopresis (loss of bowel control).
People with ADHD face higher odds of gastrointestinal problems
A study among young women who regularly have eyelash extensions has found most have tiny mites, called Demodex folliculorum, living on their lashes. These mites can cause a painful reaction in the skin called demodicosis.

A new Ontario-wide study reveals that common medications, from statins to iron supplements, are quietly setting off prescribing cascades that leave older adults unknowingly taking drugs to treat side effects of other drugs.

UCI Health, the clinical enterprise of the University of California, Irvine, is conducting a first-in-human, phase 1 clinical trial using laser light to target localized but inoperable pancreatic tumors to help patients become cancer free.
Laser therapy offers new hope for inoperable pancreatic tumors
In a prospective analysis of 1,098 people with colorectal cancer, researchers found no significant association between total or caffeinated coffee intake and all-cause or colorectal cancer-specific mortality in the cohort overall. Decaffeinated coffee was associated with lower all-cause mortality, while the highest quartile of caffeine intake was associated with lower all-cause and colorectal cancer-specific mortality, although the observational study cannot establish causation.
Coffee after colorectal cancer? Decaf and caffeine show different links with mortality
A new study found that a healthy checkout ordinance implemented in Berkeley, Calif. supermarkets, drug stores, and mass-market retailers in 2021 was linked to notable decreases in soda sales overall and small-package candy in supermarkets, but greater enforcement of such policies is essential for sustained and meaningful public health benefit.
