A new USC-led study finds Alzheimer's disease and related dementias will cost the United States an estimated $818 billion this year, driven largely by often-overlooked costs to persons living with dementia and family and friends providing their care.

Sjögren disease, an autoimmune disease characterized by dry mouth and dry eyes, may reduce patients’ quality of life.

CADASIL, an inherited disease caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene, damages the brain’s small blood vessels, leading to strokes, cognitive decline, and early dementia.

Two research teams at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC) have developed a pioneering technique in Spain to characterize the proteome of individual cardiomyocytes-the cells responsible for heart contraction.

A genetic difference carried by nearly one in three people may increase the risk of severe COVID-19 and lung fibrosis by disrupting the function of a previously unknown protein, according to a new study.

An early view of the immune response to bacteria in the lungs provides clues as to why some people keep TB in check, while others develop disease, suggesting new ways to intervene earlier and stop TB.

BA is difficult to detect because early jaundice can resemble common newborn conditions, and pale stools may not appear immediately.

Neuropathic pain affects nearly 10% of the global population, and up to 60% of those individuals also struggle with anxiety or other mood disorders.

Throughout the world, the diagnosis and treatment of systemic disease present major health challenges.

The conditions that could help women GPs build long and rewarding careers already exist, but they are routinely undermined in everyday practice, according to a new review led by the University of Surrey.

The World Health Organization (WHO) today calls on countries to expand newborn screening for birth defects, highlighting how early detection and treatment can save lives and reduce lifelong disability for millions of children.

One of the world's most significant collections of plant specimens is under threat from the ongoing war in Ukraine, prompting an international call for urgent digitization and global collaboration to preserve an irreplaceable scientific resource.

Research indicates that long-term wholegrain intake per Nordic guidelines is associated with reduced breast cancer risk, emphasizing food type differences.

A 20-year study links plant-based Mediterranean diets to lower heart disease risk, highlighting the importance of sustainable eating for cardiovascular health.

The link between biological aging and early-onset cancer risk offers crucial insights into generational health trends and potential preventive measures.

FairJourney Bio (“FJBio”), a global antibody discovery expert, has entered a partnership with AbTherx, Inc. to bring transgenic mouse-based antibody discovery in-house. The agreement gives the Company access to AbTherx’s Atlas™ Full Human Diversity (FHD) and Common Light Chain (cLC) mouse technologies, completing a discovery route that partners can now run end to end entirely within FJBio’s integrated workflow.

A scoping review of 140 empirical studies found that human-AI collaboration in healthcare reports the most consistent benefits in diagnostic interpretation, especially when AI supports bounded tasks and clinicians retain final responsibility. Evidence remains fragmented across triage, treatment planning, and documentation, with few studies measuring patient outcomes, system impact, trust calibration, or governance in real-world settings.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 11 randomized controlled trials found that exercise during the post-weight-loss maintenance phase reduced weight regain by an average of 2.81 kg compared with control groups. Evidence for fat-mass reduction remained inconclusive, highlighting the need for longer, standardized trials with better adherence and body-composition monitoring.

A Korean target trial emulation found that starting antidiabetic medication within 12 months of newly crossing type 2 diabetes diagnostic thresholds was associated with lower five-year all-cause mortality. MACE risk was numerically lower with earlier treatment, but the reductions in cardiovascular events were not statistically significant, underscoring the need for larger studies.

A 20-year prospective cohort study of 143,715 US healthcare professionals found that long-term resistance training was associated with a substantially lower risk of type 2 diabetes. The lowest risk was seen among participants who combined regular resistance training with adequate aerobic activity and limited TV viewing.
