As temperatures on Earth continue to rise, some researchers have been trying to understand how climate change influences people's physical and mental health. Some past studies have found an association between warmer weather and the incidence of suicide and homicide. However, onl

New research from Thomas Jefferson University shows that greater cumulative exposure to adverse social determinants of health is associated with beliefs that cancer is unavoidable or a death sentence. This can influence whether people choose to be screened for common cancers or s

Hair products used in hair salons release aerosols that can cause respiratory tract irritation if inhaled. Under a contract from industry, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Experimental Medicine ITEM investigated the effects of aerosols produced when usin

Every time a virus invades a person, it collides with thousands of years of human history. A study led by researchers at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences and Howard University suggests that some of the genes involved in the body's immune response today bear

Physical activity and controlling blood sugar in midlife are associated with a significantly slower rate of cognitive decline later in life, with exercise particularly beneficial for Hispanics, new research from UT Health San Antonio, the academic health center of The University

Researchers have developed an implant that could deliver next-generation therapies for ovarian cancer precisely where they are needed while simultaneously monitoring how the disease responds.

A human kidney is built once, before birth, and the rules guiding its construction have been largely inferred from animal models. Researchers at Penn Medicine have now read those rules directly in human tissue. They found that developing cells are steered by soluble signals relea

Flinders University researchers have evaluated two next-generation reasoning large language models (LLMs)—o3-mini and DeepSeek-R1—and found that when asked to describe fictional patients with common medical conditions, the models frequently reproduced racial and gender stereotype

A disease surveillance strategy modeled on the body's immune system detected more disease-carrying insects than the traditional top-down approach, according to a study led by researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and the Universidad Pe

A study published in Nature Cell Biology reports a new vulnerability in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that might lead to novel therapies to treat the cancer while minimizing harm to normal cells. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions studied a ne

Four years after Colorado passed a law requiring county jails to provide medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and to publish their policies for MOUD care, researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz have found that many jails still lack publicly available policies ex

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, painful joint disease and a leading cause of disability. Despite its prevalence, therapies for osteoarthritis are limited and focus on symptom management. Now, researchers are combining genetic studies of Utah families with AI-based molecular bio
