Stiff knees and aching hips may seem like an inevitable part of aging, but experts say we're getting osteoarthritis all wrong. Despite affecting nearly 600 million people worldwide -- and potentially a billion by 2050 -- the most powerful treatment . ...

A sweeping new study reveals that what's on your plate may directly shape the pesticides circulating in your body. Researchers found that people who eat more fruits and vegetables known to carry higher pesticide residues--such as strawberries, ...

Researchers at Kobe University have developed an AI system that can detect acromegaly, a rare hormone disorder, by analyzing photos of the back of the hand and a clenched fist. The disease often develops slowly and can take years to diagnose, even .. ...

A new study has uncovered why some brain cells are more resistant to Alzheimer's damage than others. Researchers found a natural cleanup system that helps remove toxic tau protein before it can form harmful clumps. The study also shows that cellular ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new hero in the fight against one of the world's deadliest fungal infections: albumin, the most abundant protein in human blood. In a major international study, researchers found that people who develop ...

When a bone break is too severe to heal on its own, surgeons often rely on grafts or rigid metal implants -- but both come with serious drawbacks. Now, researchers at ETH Zurich have created a jelly-like hydrogel that mimics the body's natural ...

Scientists have identified a crucial molecular switch that decides whether pancreatic cancer cells resist chemotherapy or respond to it. The key player, a gene called GATA6, keeps tumours in a more structured and treatable form--but it gets shut down ...

For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks -- yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system? Researchers at the University of Notre Dame now suggest . ...

Surviving cancer at a young age may come with an unexpected cost: faster aging at both the cellular and brain levels. Researchers found that survivors often show signs of being biologically older than their actual age, with chemotherapy accelerating ...

Researchers are developing a two-part therapy for type 1 diabetes: lab-made insulin-producing cells paired with custom-engineered immune cells that protect them. The goal is to stop the immune system from destroying transplanted cells -- without ...
