University of Manchester–led researchers have unveiled a roadmap for making computer-generated evidence trustworthy enough to help regulators decide whether medical devices are safe and effective, alongside laboratory...
Scientists found that prolonged fasting triggers major changes throughout the body, but many of the most interesting effects only appeared after about three days without food. The results suggest fasting may influence...

The school bell may signal the end of lessons, but for more than half a million Australian children each week, it doesn't mean the end of opportunities to be active.
A new study taking place in Manchester is investigating whether breast milk could help detect breast cancer earlier than a blood test or a scan. The research, led by scientists at The University of Manchester, aims to...
Around half of people who are severely overweight have mild inflammation in their bodies. Research by neuroscientist Judith Scholing of the Donders Institute at Radboud University shows that this inflammation can...
Boys and young men who report greater symptoms of muscle dysmorphia may also be more likely to experience a range of sexual difficulties, according to a new study examining the intersection of body image and sexual...
CAR-T cell therapies have fundamentally transformed the treatment of several blood and lymph node cancers. However, their use in solid tumors such as liver, breast or lung cancer has so far been significantly more...
More frozen organic berries sold at Walmart and Trader Joe's are being recalled because they could be contaminated with a dangerous strain of E. coli bacteria.
A UC Riverside–led study of mental health stigma in Japan has found a striking gap between the need for treatment and people's willingness to seek it, with high levels of social distancing toward people with mental...
Gait is a fundamental activity of daily living and can reflect multiple aspects of physical and cognitive function in older individuals. Slower gait speed is commonly associated with frailty, a condition in which the...
The largest genetic study of cognition to date has been published, involving nearly half a million people of European ancestry. This provides a new understanding of the genetic factors that shape cognitive differences...

Many rural voters say immigrants are a key part of their local economy, but views on whether President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown has had positive or negative effects on their communities are split.
Cancer immunotherapy can lose its punch when tumor-fighting T cells become exhausted, but researchers may have found a way to keep them going longer. Scientists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center identified a...

There’s a term for reducing unnecessary or harmful drugs: “deprescribing.” Especially as patients age, experts say, it’s important to regularly review the medications they’re taking.
Scientists have discovered that E-cadherin, a protein best known as the “glue” holding cells and tissues together, has a surprising second job: helping epithelial cells swallow nearby dead cells. Using live zebrafish...
