High fever could temporarily reduce malaria transmission
The fever experienced by people with malaria exposes parasites to high temperatures within blood cells. This heat can lead to the accumulation of damaged proteins inside the parasite and trigger protective mechanisms against thermal stress.
Forget GLP-1s—GLP-3s show promise in phase 3 weight loss and diabetes trial
Phase 3 clinical trial results (TRANSCEND-T2D-1) published in The Lancet report that retatrutide, an investigational once-weekly injection for diabetes management, can significantly improve blood sugar levels and lead to substantial weight loss in people with Type 2 diabetes. The
Bacteria from gum disease may cause inflammation, harden heart valves
Gum disease bacteria may spur calcium buildup in the heart's aortic valve, leading to a common and serious heart valve disease, according to preliminary, independent research presented at the American Heart Association's Basic Cardiovascular Sciences Scientific Sessions 2026, hel
Gene discovery may unlock infertility, early menopause clues
Most women are aware that fertility declines dramatically with age. This is mainly due to the gradual loss of eggs and follicles from the ovaries, leading to infertility, irregular cycles and ultimately menopause.
Cellular recycling protein plays critical protective role in the gut
Australian researchers have discovered that even a modest reduction in the protein BECLIN1 leads to a significant increase in gut inflammation, which can lead to further disease and complications over time.
How the brain's chemical messengers control consciousness and sleep
Scientists at Newcastle University's Neural Circuits Laboratory, in collaboration with researchers at the Blue Brain Project (EPFL, Switzerland) and leading institutions in Spain, have published a study that advances understanding of the brain's chemical messengers—acetylcholine,
Researchers develop AI technology to detect early warning signs of cerebrovascular disease
Cerebrovascular disease can lead to serious aftereffects if treatment is delayed, but it is difficult to detect before symptoms appear. KAIST researchers have developed an AI technology that analyzes real-life daily activity and environmental data from older adults to identify di
New insights into neuron–microglia interactions during brain aging
Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have identified small nuclear fragments known as micronuclei while studying neurons in aged mice. They demonstrated that microglia—the brain's resident immune cells—take up these micronuclei, leading to changes in microglial morphology and
Microglia mechanism reveals why brain's stroke repair window closes
Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide and often results in impairments in movement, speech and cognition. While rehabilitation helps patients regain some lost functions, the brain's natural ability to repair itself often fades within a few months a
New York data reveal substance use in 44% of pedestrian deaths
In New York state, 44% of pedestrian deaths involved alcohol or drug use by the pedestrian, according to a retrospective analysis published online in the journal Injury Prevention. Pedestrian injuries are the seventh-leading cause of injury-related death in New York state. There
Peer-reviewed study confirms CVI range is a valid, reliable tool for assessing cortical vi
Cerebral (or cortical) visual impairment (CVI) is a brain-based visual disorder that is the leading cause of pediatric visual impairment in developed countries. Unfortunately, because of low awareness, CVI is often misdiagnosed as other conditions—such as autism, ADHD or a learni
