Routine high-tide flooding in coastal communities could lead to thousands of deaths among older adults by the end of the century, according to a new study co-authored by Florida State University researcher Mathew Hauer. Published ...
Medical Xpress / Genetic risk of schizophrenia manifests in early adolescence, study shows
Research has found that children with higher genetic susceptibility to schizophrenia show decreases in frontal cortical surface area during early adolescence, in contrast to the regional expansion observed in children with ...
Medical Xpress / Red meat is evolution's double-edged sword, argue researchers
A new interdisciplinary review published in The Quarterly Review of Biology argues that red meat, once an essential component of human evolution, has become a significant threat to human health and planetary sustainability. ...
Medical Xpress / Wearable sweat sensor monitors multiple biomarkers continuously for 21 days
University of California, Irvine researchers have invented a wearable, wireless, battery-free, bioelectronic sensor to monitor users' health by analyzing molecular biomarkers in human sweat. The device is called the In-Situ ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers successfully treat hereditary epilepsy in a mouse model
In a world first, a research team at the University of Zurich has successfully treated mice carrying an inherited form of epilepsy. The scientists used gene editing to fix faulty DNA directly in the brain cells of mice, which ...
Medical Xpress / Mouth stem cells could help beat brain cancer defenses
Stem cells found in the lining of the mouth could help make the most aggressive form of brain cancer easier to treat, according to new research from the University of Reading. The stem cells release a mixture of proteins ...
Medical Xpress / Genetic link between cannabis use and psychosis could help to identify those most at risk
New research from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London has highlighted the distinct and shared molecular pathways linking cannabis use disorder (CUD) and psychosis, offering ...
Medical Xpress / Even at low concentrations, fine particle pollution is tied to increased hospitalizations for kidney disease
A study published in the journal Scientific Reports has shown a strong correlation between the concentration of particulate matter in the air of São Paulo, Brazil—primarily emitted by vehicle fuel combustion—and kidney disease. ...
Medical Xpress / Future cancer therapy could use immunity to clean up damaged DNA by modulating AUF1
Researchers have identified a pathway that triggers an immune response in cells with defective DNA repair. In particular, the authors of a new paper demonstrated how the downregulation of AUF1 impairs DNA repair, followed ...
Medical Xpress / A 13-gene panel may help predict response to chemotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have characterized cancer cell-specific features in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) tissues, identifying ...
Medical Xpress / Continuing tirzepatide at full dose helps preserve weight loss over 112 weeks
New research presented at the European Congress on Obesity (ECO 2026) in Istanbul, Turkey (12–15 May) and published in The Lancet shows that people who have lost weight using the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of tirzepatide ...
Medical Xpress / Everyday air pollution linked to poorer brain function, study finds
The air pollution we breathe daily could be harming more than just our lungs and hearts. New research from McMaster University suggests that fine particles from traffic, industry, and wildfire smoke are linked to worse cognitive ...
