When people are close—both physically and emotionally—their heart rates begin to align, rising and falling together. Could such cardiac alignment be used as a way to measure social engagement and connection in everyday settings?

Caring for a spouse with dementia is one of life's most demanding responsibilities. While the emotional toll is well documented, the physical effects of chronic caregiving stress can vary dramatically from one person to another. A new Rice University study suggests part of the re

Short daily home dialysis (SDHD) is associated with sustained preservation of physical activity, better postdialysis recovery, and improved sleep compared with conventional in-center hemodialysis (ICHD), according to a study published online June 18 in Kidney360.

A new trial has shown that using telepresence robots to support the well-being and health of older people in their homes can improve physical strength and balance, as well as social interaction and confidence. The work is published in the 2025 IEEE Conference on Telepresence.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become one of the foundations of modern ophthalmology. A patient sits in front of the device and focuses on a target, and moments later the physician can see a detailed cross-section of the retina, layer by layer, without any physical contac

New research among lung cancer screening participants has found that low-dose chest computed tomography (CT) screening is generally well tolerated both physically and emotionally, but experiences vary across socioeconomic groups. Lower-income and safety-net participants experienc

A research team led by Prof. Liu Qingsong at the Institute of Health and Medical Technology, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered a new drug candidate that may help overcome chemotherapy resistance in small cell lung cancer (S

Unpaid caregivers need greater recognition and support to continue the care they provide to their families and friends, and researchers have identified priorities outlining how to achieve this. Flinders University's Research Center for Palliative Care, Death and Dying has publish

The cells lining skin capillaries are constantly sending each other messages—tiny pulses of calcium that help regulate blood flow, sense physical forces and keep vessel walls intact. Scientists have known about this signaling for decades. What they didn't know, until now, is that

A research team led by Prof. Wang Hongzhi at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has found a novel role of prostaglandin E synthase 3 (PTGES3) in liver cancer, revealing how it drives both tumor growth and immune suppression.

A new study led by Monash University researchers has shed light on the factors shaping the intricate wiring of our brains. The research, published in the journal Cell, reveals that the brain's complex wiring diagram, known as the cortical connectome, does not form at random. Inst

A study by researchers at the University of Tsukuba published in the American Journal of Health Promotion found that higher daily step counts were associated with improved work performance through reduced stress responses in Japanese workers with remote work arrangements. The fin
