A "polypill" combining three medications recommended to treat heart failure into a single daily dose proved far more effective for patients than taking the drugs separately, a randomized clinical trial led by UT Southwestern ...

Much like camera settings—filters, flashes and focus—affect what we notice in a final photo, the way scientists measure something can affect how we interpret and understand it. This is especially true when imaging things ...

Treating pain while in the field can be very demanding. Researchers have finally identified an effective alternative for providing pain relief during the earliest phase of prehospital care, when establishing intravenous access ...

New research led by Mass General Brigham investigators suggests that the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine—which is delivered through the skin to prevent tuberculosis—may remodel the human brain's immune environment, ...

A new study led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has identified a way to tailor drug combinations based on specific tumor biology to improve outcomes for treatment-resistant advanced melanoma.

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 ...

A substance that worsens dementia has become a "switch" that initiates treatment. KAIST researchers have developed a new therapeutic approach that uses hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), a reactive oxygen species that damages cells ...

A study led by researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), in collaboration with the Proteomics Platform of the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona), has uncovered a key mechanism ...

In a study published in Science, USC researchers paired a biological discovery with an engineering feat to create more faithful, reproducible lab-grown kidney structures from stem cells, known as organoids.

Psychological stress is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for certain health conditions, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes, especially when paired with an impaired immune response. In a study in Cell Stem ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have found that patients with Parkinson's disease undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) show little to no Lewy pathology in the prefrontal cortex at the time of ...

A breakthrough in biomedical engineering could help pave the way for tiny implantable devices capable of diagnosing, monitoring and treating a wide range of health conditions. An international team of researchers led by the ...
