Forgetting the name of a loved one may be one of the first signs people notice of dementia, but it's rarely the first warning sign your brain gives. Changes in the brain that lead to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia start showing up decades before symptoms

Periodontal (gum) disease is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, caused by the bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis). In Japan alone, approximately 80% of adults 30 and older are affected or considered at risk.

Maternal cesarean section (CS) and maternal history of allergic diseases (MHAD) are independent and synergistic risk factors for allergic rhinitis (AR) in offspring, according to a study published online June 20 in the International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology.

A sweeping global review led by researchers at the University of British Columbia has found that mRNA vaccines—now administered billions of times worldwide—are safe and highly effective at preventing infectious diseases like COVID-19, and have potential applications for a range o

Researchers at the University of Kentucky Sanders-Brown Center on Aging have uncovered evidence that a single genetic variant may influence the risk of two of the diseases people fear most—dementia and cancer—but in opposite ways.

Over the past decade, researchers at WashU Medicine have established that a molecule called SARM1 is a central trigger in the loss of axons, the vital wiring of the nervous system. Axon loss is characteristic of many neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral scleros

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 have long sought to discover why babies who weigh less than expected at birth, a condition known as small for gestational age, or SGA, are at higher risk for heart, lung and metabolic diseases as adults.

Two people may be the same age and have similar family histories or risk factors, yet only one of them may develop thrombosis. To better understand why this occurs, researchers from the Complex Disease Genomics Unit at the Sant Pau Research Institute (IR Sant Pau) and the Biomedi

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

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

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
