A traditional Japanese medicine used for obesity may do more than support weight loss. Researchers at the University of Osaka, working with Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., investigated whether Bofutsushosan could protect aging tissues from fibrosis—the excessive buildup of sc

Congenital heart disease affects approximately two in every 100 newborns globally. But why does it occur? An important part of the answer may lie in a previously unknown mechanism on the surface of our cells. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen identified this mechanism

Researchers at the UNC School of Medicine and UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center are zeroing in on less toxic and more targeted strategies to combat Ewing sarcoma, an aggressive and rare pediatric cancer that develops in the bones and soft tissues.

In a longitudinal study conducted at Vanderbilt Health, including investigators from the Vanderbilt Memory and Alzheimer's Center (VMAC), researchers found that lower cardiac output is associated with accelerated cerebral atrophy among older adults who carry the APOE-e4 allele, a

The study is the most comprehensive review of dementia hospitalizations ever undertaken in the UK. The researchers outline how delayed discharges, lack of communication among NHS staff and hospital environments unsuitable for dementia patients are keeping people in hospital unnec

Researchers from Skoltech—a VEB.RF group institution—and their colleagues at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of SB RAS and other medical science centers in Russia have managed to modulate the breathing and heart rate of a mouse by wirelessly stimulating its vagus nerve. Th

As the use of GLP-1 and other incretin-based medications for obesity continues to grow worldwide, researchers at Marshall University have contributed to an international effort to address one of medicine's most pressing unanswered questions: How should these medications be used b

A multi-institutional study led by researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) found that telemedicine is becoming increasingly common for problem-based primary care, particularly for children with endocrine or behavioral health issues, where chronic needs are signi

Having normal blood pressure, no diabetes and not smoking between ages 45 and 65 is associated with nearly 13 additional years of dementia-free life, on average, a new study shows. Led by NYU Langone Health researchers, the work also found that, no matter how many risk factors th

An international team of researchers has developed an innovative strategy for producing new vaccines. They created a genetically modified version of the chikungunya virus that replicates only once yet still trains the immune system to defend itself without causing disease. In tes

A combination of omega-3 and low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) produced results comparable to antibiotics in treating severe periodontitis. This conclusion is based on a study conducted by researchers affiliated with Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital, Guarulhos University (UNG

Changing how much sweet-tasting food people eat may not change how much they crave or enjoy sweetness after all. In a six-month trial, researchers found that people assigned to high-, low-, or average-sweetness diets showed no meaningful differences in their preference for sweet
