How birth method and antibiotics may shape babies' gut bacteria

A new systematic review has found that both the way a baby is born and exposure to antibiotics around the time of birth could be linked to differences in the development of the infant gut microbiome. The review also found that exclusively breastfeeding babies born by cesarean sec

Oxalate buildup triggers systemic inflammation and cardiac damage, study shows

People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a significantly increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease. They also suffer from chronic inflammation, the causes of which are still only partly understood. Oxalic acid (oxalate) has so far been known primarily for its role

New study provides first evidence of dopamine system injury in the brain of long COVID pat

A new brain imaging study led by researchers at the Center for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), published in eBioMedicine, provides the strongest evidence to date that long COVID is associated with injury to dopamine-releasing neurons in the brain—a finding that may explain sy

Young blood stem cells rejuvenate aging immune systems in old mice

By freezing your own healthy blood stem cells in your 20s, thawing them and undergoing a stem cell transplant in your 40s or 50s, it might be possible to rejuvenate your blood-forming and immune systems. Science fiction? At least it works when old mice receive healthy blood stem

Heat waves and pollution raise heart risks, doctors warn

When temperatures climb, the cardiovascular system works harder to keep the body cool by redirecting blood flow from the core to the surface of the skin to allow for evaporation. High temperatures can cause blood to coagulate and thicken, making the process even harder on the hea
