Circadian rhythms can influence outcomes related to influenza infections

Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) found that circadian rhythms – the biological clocks of the body – can influence outcomes related to influenza infections, providing clinicians with insight about how biological processes can be used to optimize care for critically ill patients with respiratory viral infections.

Short-term nitrous oxide treatment could benefit patients with major depressive disorder

Patients with major depressive disorder, including those who have not responded to first-line antidepressants, may benefit from short-term nitrous oxide treatment, a major meta-analysis led by the University of Birmingham has found.

Drug combination can bypass cellular defenses in neuroblastoma

A discovery from Australian researchers could lead to better treatment for children with neuroblastoma, a cancer that currently claims 9 out of 10 young patients who experience recurrence.

Fever-resistant bird flu viruses pose a significant threat to humans

Bird flu viruses are a particular threat to humans because they can replicate at temperatures higher than a typical fever, one of the body's ways of stopping viruses in their tracks, according to new research led by the universities of Cambridge and Glasgow.

New imaging protocol captures mouse brain cell connections in precise detail

An international team of researchers led by the Francis Crick Institute, working with the Paul Scherrer Institute, have developed a new imaging protocol to capture mouse brain cell connections in precise detail.

Breakthrough immunotherapy approved for treatment of adults with aggressive blood cancer

Adult patients with an aggressive form of leukemia will be able to receive a breakthrough immunotherapy, which was invented by UCL researchers, on the NHS within weeks following approval for use by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

Study reveals early mandibular catch-up growth in infants with Robin sequence

Robin sequence is characterized by micrognathia, glossoptosis, and often cleft palate, leading to airway obstruction and feeding challenges.

26 Nov 2025

New medication offers potential treatment for patients with deadliest form of blood cancer

Biomedical research that began at the University of Virginia School of Medicine has yielded a much-needed new treatment for patients with the deadliest form of blood cancer.

Scientists uncover how brain enzyme OTULIN controls tau expression

Scientists have uncovered a surprising mechanism by which a brain enzyme called OTULIN controls the expression of tau, the protein that forms toxic tangles in Alzheimer's disease.

Neuroscientists detect five broad phases of brain structure in the average human life

Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five "major epochs" of brain structure over the course of a human life, as our brains rewire to support different ways of thinking while we grow, mature, and ultimately decline.

New study links untreated sleep apnea to higher Parkinson’s disease risk

New research reveals that people with untreated obstructive sleep apnea have a higher risk of developing Parkinson's disease. However, they can significantly reduce the risk by improving the quality of their sleep by using continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP.

Combined healthy eating and exercise linked to greater reductions in visceral fat

Improving diet and increasing physical activity levels together may be more effective at preventing weight gain – particularly harmful fat inside the abdomen – than just changing one of these behaviours, new research from the University of Cambridge suggests.

New research initiative aims to prevent and treat blast-related brain injuries in military personnel

University of Virginia School of Medicine and Naval Medical Research Command (NMRC) researchers will use a federal Department of Defense grant to better identify, prevent and treat brain injuries for military personnel caused by repeated blast exposures.
