A QIMR Berghofer study has revealed that short periods outdoors during hours of low sunlight can cause skin damage and contribute to skin cancer risk.

Cognitive decline in very old adults has been considered for decades to be an almost inevitable consequence of aging. In clinical practice, this has contributed to many memory problems in patients over age 80 being interpreted as a natural part of aging, without further investiga

Institutions increasingly invite people to contribute their lived experience. Government agencies appoint patients to advisory panels and call on communities for their views on policy. Health New Zealand employs peer support workers, and universities seek lived experience in rese

Rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) contribute significantly to the disability and health care burden in Europe, but until now there has been no harmonized, specific data set to help systematically compare differences in rheumatology workforces, health resources and acc

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have demonstrated that it is possible to create early germ cells from preserved testicular tissue of young boys facing cancer therapy. The study, published in the journal Human Reproduction Open, may eventually contribute to new ways of protec

From the air we breathe to the food we eat, we are constantly exposed to thousands of chemicals—yet how these exposures affect our health has remained surprisingly difficult to understand. A new study led by researchers at the CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Au

The conventional narrative that Latinos are taking more from the United States than they contribute is not just wrong—it is dangerous. In a new "Medicine and Society" analysis published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers from the Center for Latino Adolescent and

A major new study suggests that age-related changes in the uterus may contribute to poorer pregnancy outcomes, with women aged 49 and older experiencing lower live birth rates and higher miscarriage risk despite donor-oocyte treatment. Presented at the 42nd Annual Meeting of the

A new study published in Nature Communications identifies a molecular signaling pathway that contributes to the development of life-threatening aortic aneurysms and dissections in Marfan syndrome, a genetic disorder affecting connective tissue. The findings provide new insight in

A molecule linked to chronic inflammation disrupts the brain's ability to create new neurons, uncovering a pathway with therapeutic potential for neurodegenerative diseases and neurological conditions. The King's College London study, published in Nature Communications, offers in

Accumulation of DNA damage in the brain's neurons may contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease. New research in FEBS Open Bio demonstrates the therapeutic potential of a drug that targets this process.

The aging brain frequently harbors multiple protein pathologies that contribute to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases. But how do these problematic proteins interact with each other, and could these interactions inform future therapies? Researchers at T
