Researchers at National Jewish Health have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that helps drive inflammation in allergic asthma, offering new insight into how the disease develops and potentially revealing new targets for future therapies.

Researchers led by Jiawei Yang, Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, have designed a modular system that could potentially improve hydrogel implants in the body by customizing the materials for stiffn

Digging deep into the molecular mechanisms behind ALS, researchers at the Les Turner ALS Center at Northwestern Medicine have discovered why nerve cells overfire in the disease. Not only that—they have also designed a new drug to stop this overfiring, which could potentially slow

A sleep supplement widely used to treat insomnia could help reduce reliance on some of the most common and potentially harmful pain medications, new research from the University of Sydney suggests.

A growing number of prostate cancer experts argue that calling the lowest-risk prostate cancer "cancer" does more harm than good. A new UCLA-led study found removing the cancer label could dramatically reduce overtreatment and encourage more men to get screened, potentially leadi

The appearance of food images on a menu can influence whether we order large or small portions—or potentially choose healthy or more caloric meals. New research from Flinders University indicates that the color and size of a dining plate can have mixed results in regulating meal

Canned cocktails and hard seltzers are being chosen by health-conscious young people as a safer way to consume alcohol, but new Australian research reveals these products are almost universally ultra-processed, potentially giving consumers a false sense of security and underminin

Consumption of ultra-processed food (UPF) results in a distinct metabolic "signature" in the blood, associated with potentially adverse health conditions, suggests a new study by an international team of researchers. The paper, published in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nu

A new study led by the University of Sheffield and published in BMJ Open has found that up to one-third of A&E attendances and two-fifths of acute admissions could potentially be managed through same-day emergency care (SDEC) and community settings—keeping patients safe and treat

A growing outbreak of the rare Bundibugyo virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo highlights the need for better planning against lesser-known but potentially deadly infectious diseases, according to a review article by Boston University professor Nancy Sullivan, published June

A clinical trial led by St. Michael's Hospital researchers found that using nerve blocks, an anesthesia technique to numb targeted areas of the body, significantly reduced opioid use after cardiac surgery—findings the authors say could reshape how the potentially addictive drugs
