Experimental vaccine for 'neglected disease' carried by hundreds of millions of people sho

For a vaccine to be effective, it must do two things. First, it must trigger an immune response. Second, the vaccine must train the body to remember the response so it can fight that same disease in the future. Now, new research shows that the only vaccine being tested to prevent

Uncovering gene-based clues to how disrupted healing in stomach cells increases cancer ris

Few areas of the body face more daily stress and potential damage than the stomach, which must manage everything we swallow. Along with this constant strain, the stomach also produces acid that can damage its own lining and increase the risk of ulcers.

Growing evidence shows sugar substitutes disrupt gut health and metabolism

Since the first introduction of saccharin, an array of artificial and other non-nutritive (i.e., low-calorie or calorie-free) sweeteners have become ubiquitous in the U.S. food supply. However, a growing body of research suggests that these compounds are not inert in the body and

Rare aging disorder links 'biological clock' to disease

Scientists have discovered a rare genetic condition that causes people to age at a much faster rate, offering fresh insights into the aging process. The study shows for the first time how a "biological clock" present in every cell of the body could contribute to age-related disea

A blood protein can flag dementia risk decades before symptoms appear

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

Treatment for alcohol use disorder can reverse harmful brain effects

When we drink alcohol, our liver breaks it down into acetate, which the body can then burn as fuel. A new Neuropsychopharmacology study has discovered that chronic alcohol use can alter how the brain metabolizes acetate—and that these effects are reversible.

Heart risk markers in adults over 40 with obesity increasingly converge with normal BMI le

Over the last three decades, differences in unhealthy cholesterol levels and blood pressure between older adults with obesity and those with a normal body mass index (BMI) have narrowed or disappeared in several high-income countries, suggests a study published in The Lancet. The

Human red blood cells form without central 'hub' seen in mouse models, upending understand

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that one of the body's most fundamental biological processes—how red blood cells are made—works differently in humans than previously thought, according to a new study published in Nature Genetics. The findings overturn decades of

Ovaries may take on job in immune system after their tenure as reproductive organs

For most women, the body begins to change dramatically in their 40s or 50s. This transition, known as menopause, is defined as 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, marking the end of the reproductive years. While researchers are aware of the functions the ovaries per

Full-fat dairy shows benefits without raising body fat or cholesterol, study finds

A Canadian study led by University of Toronto researcher Harvey Anderson is offering new evidence in support of consuming full-fat dairy. The findings, published recently in the Journal of Nutrition, demonstrate that three daily servings of full-fat dairy can be incorporated into

Modest sleep loss linked to weight gain in adults with high cardiometabolic risk

A pooled analysis of two randomized trials found that decreasing sleep by just 1.5 hours each night was associated with increases in body weight, waist circumference and sedentary time in adults with elevated cardiometabolic risk.

Tumor on a chip reveals how pancreatic cancer hijacks immune cells in real time

A new "tumor-on-a-chip" model is giving scientists a live look at how pancreatic cancer can recruit the body's own immune cells to help tumors survive. Researchers say the findings, published in Biofabrication, reveal possible new targets to weaken the cancer's defenses and make
