Mouse model supports long-held belief that viruses can trigger Parkinson's disease

Scientists usually use animal models when studying Parkinson's disease because these models mimic the disease well. They are limited, however, because they require either gene modifications or the injection of toxicants, which may not accurately represent how the disease occurs i

Hidden risks after orthopedic surgery: International study identifies major triggers of po

Millions of orthopedic surgeries are performed globally every year, offering pain relief and restored mobility to patients. However, an international study published in JMIR Perioperative Medicine warns that the risk of postsurgical complications, particularly "silent" heart inju

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

COVID's lingering shadow faded after omicron—but not for everyone

Six years after the world first learned of COVID-19, the pandemic has faded into an unpleasant memory for many. For others, however, it never fully ended. A long-term study by Hiroshima University has found that while lingering symptoms became far less common after the omicron va

Genome editing in rats enables more accurate estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer mode

Rat disease models have played an integral role in scientific discovery and cancer research, including Nobel Prize–winning work from Charles Huggins on hormone therapy for prostate cancer in 1966. However, technical challenges in genetic engineering of rat models have limited the

Young people from less-advantaged backgrounds are more likely to have an undiagnosed eatin

Eating disorders are often associated with teenage girls from socioeconomically advantaged families. However, a new study from the University of Copenhagen challenges this perception, suggesting that eating disorders are just as likely to affect young people from less advantaged

Night owls eat later, choose less nutritious food, carry more belly fat and show higher me

For generations, early to bed and early to rise was seen as the blueprint for a healthy life, and any departure from it was often considered unhealthy. Scientists, however, have discovered that whether someone is an early bird who wakes up early and starts the day with energy or

Mouse study uncovers how transcription factors HIF1α and HIF2α regulate different aspects

Skeletal muscles—responsible for movement, joint stabilization and postural support—are highly metabolically active and heavily reliant on oxygen during physical activity. However, conditions such as high-intensity exercise or sustained exertion frequently expose skeletal muscles
