Researchers develop HIV-prevention guide without the stigma of asking about risk

The most useful thing about a new HIV prevention guide may be a question it never asks: Why do you want to know about pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP? In a pilot study at three clinics, a two-page decision aid helped people choose between a daily pill, long used to prevent HIV,

Breastfeeding may help babies sleep longer by age one, challenging formula feeding claims

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life because of its many proven benefits, including protection against infections and support for healthy long-term development. However, perceptions that breastfed infants sleep le

New therapeutic target for cancer identified by revealing how cancer 'hijacks' blueprint f

Anti-angiogenic therapies targeting VEGF have been widely used in cancer treatment, yet their long-term efficacy remains limited. Tumor vascular endothelial cells (TECs) exhibit high adaptive plasticity, enabling them to resist treatment and sustain tumor growth, but the molecula

Fish-inspired sensor tracks how human heart tissue responds to disease and treatment

Engineers have developed a new way to monitor how tiny lab-grown human heart tissues beat—by effectively "listening" to the ripples they create. The team has created a wireless, noninvasive sensing platform that can biomechanically measure how strongly the miniature heart tissues

Study reveals how early-life cellular process helps shape lifelong immune health

Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) have uncovered a critical link between the immune system in early life and its function in adulthood. The study, published in Science Immunology, identifies a new role for specialized skin immune cells, called Langerhans cells, in

Healthy but sedentary individuals show early decline in cellular energy production

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz have found that healthy yet sedentary individuals show a significant, coordinated drop in muscle mitochondrial function that may precede the development of major diseases like cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's. The work is publis

Ten guidelines for integrating generative AI into nursing research proposed

Researchers from the Fisabio Foundation and the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló have analyzed the potential of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to transform nursing research and have developed a set of 10 recommendations to promote the responsible use of these tools in
