Genetic study links IBS to lipid metabolism and triglyceride regulation

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common condition that affects more than 10% of the general population, causing recurrent abdominal pain, bloating, constipation and diarrhea. IBS is considered a disorder of gut-brain interaction, and previous research, including genetic resear

Hidden metastases reveal clues to colorectal cancer recurrence

Researchers identified a six-gene signature in microscopic colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastases that may help predict recurrence after treatment. The findings suggest these tiny, often undetectable tumor deposits could serve as a tissue-based marker of residual cancer cells,

Disordered collagen may help explain hip fractures beyond bone density, X-rays reveal

Fractures of the femoral neck are not simply due to insufficient bone density. Also significant is their nanostructure—the orientation of the collagen fibers that make up bones, according to research conducted by scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI using a new X-ray tec

Stem cell strategy for chronic spinal cord injury advances

New research presented at the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) 2026 Annual Meeting highlights a significant step toward developing a stem cell-based treatment for chronic spinal cord injury (SCI), a condition for which no effective restorative therapy currentl

Oxalate buildup triggers systemic inflammation and cardiac damage, study shows

People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a significantly increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease. They also suffer from chronic inflammation, the causes of which are still only partly understood. Oxalic acid (oxalate) has so far been known primarily for its role

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

Inhibiting protein to treat myeloproliferative neoplasms shows preclinical promise

Inhibiting menin, a protein that supports leukemia growth and is already targeted to treat some forms of leukemia, also holds promise for treating myeloproliferative neoplasms. A new study from scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital showed that inhibiting menin signi

Demystifying the molecular mechanisms of general anesthesia

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Birkbeck, University of London, have identified a site where a commonly used anesthetic binds to sodium ion channels, revealing a molecular mechanism that may explain how these drugs dampen communication between neurons. Ion channels are
