Research suggests diets high in added sugar may strain the hippocampus, disrupt insulin signaling, and fuel inflammation, potentially weakening memory over time. Cutting sugary drinks and ultra-processed snacks can support better brain health.
Fossil teeth and arm bones suggest human right-handedness began deep in evolution, linking ancient tool use, social learning, and brain specialization long before modern life.
Scientists identified more than 1,700 previously overlooked dark proteins in human cells, expanding the known proteome and opening new possibilities for disease research, cancer biomarkers, immunotherapy, and drug discovery.
Amlodipine, a common blood pressure drug, may weaken the hospital superbug Acinetobacter baumannii, offering researchers a promising drug-repurposing lead against antibiotic-resistant infections while remaining far from approved infection treatment.
Eccentric exercise focuses on the controlled lowering phase of movement, helping build strength, muscle, balance, and mobility with fewer repetitions when practiced safely and consistently.
New research suggests breast cancer risk rises with age not only from DNA mutations, but also from changes in breast tissue that weaken defenses, increase inflammation, and help abnormal cells survive.
Research suggests that cannabinoids in cannabis may help reverse fatty liver disease by reducing fat accumulation and inflammation, offering potential for new treatments. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and establish safe, effective therapies.
Recent research shows a nearly fivefold higher risk of sudden vision loss with Wegovy compared to Ozempic, highlighting the importance of informed medical decisions when using these weight-loss and diabetes management drugs.
Recent research reveals connections between the gut microbiome of dogs and cancer prognosis, potentially leading to new diagnostic tools and treatment options. Understanding these microbial correlations enriches canine health knowledge and provides insights into broader human medical conditions.
Recent research highlights the impact of "forever chemicals" (PFAS) on aging in men, linking higher exposure levels to accelerated biological aging and prompting significant public health concerns.
A novel procedure for sleep apnea treatment offers hope with a 93% success rate, providing a less invasive alternative to traditional methods. This advancement could improve patient comfort and outcomes, potentially transforming sleep apnea management for millions worldwide.
Understanding the root causes of cancer is essential for prevention. Tobacco use and alcohol consumption are major contributors to preventable cancer cases, and reducing these habits can significantly decrease cancer risk and improve overall well-being.
