Do gut microbes cause autism? New research says diet plays the bigger role

In a family-based study, researchers found that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) shared similar gut microbiomes with their relatives but showed distinctly different eating habits. Their preference for sweets and limited vegetable intake suggests behavior-driven dietary choices may influence, rather than result from, microbiome differences.

Massive cross-ancestry study explains why obesity risks differ around the world

A massive cross-ancestry genetic study involving over 839,000 adults identified 13 genes linked to obesity, including five never before associated with the condition. The findings highlight how global genetic diversity can uncover new biological pathways and potential treatment targets for obesity.

Bowhead whale’s secret to long life revealed: precision DNA repair may hold clues for human aging

Researchers discovered that bowhead whales achieve extraordinary longevity and cancer resistance through highly efficient and precise DNA repair mechanisms. A whale-specific protein, CIRBP, enhances genome stability even in human cells, revealing a potential pathway to strengthen DNA repair and slow aging.

Diets that harm the planet also raise the risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes

Diets that place greater pressure on the environment, high in meat and low in plant foods, were linked to higher risks of cancer, coronary heart disease, and type 2 diabetes in over 34,000 French adults. Sustainable, plant-rich diets were associated with better health and lower environmental impact.

Diabetes remission possible with GLP-1 drugs, Italian study confirms

In a large real-world Italian cohort, GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy led to measurable rates of type 2 diabetes remission, depending on how remission was defined. The most pragmatic definition (Remission 3) was linked to improved glycemia, weight, and a lower risk of microvascular and cardiovascular events.

Eating habits tied to Parkinson’s risk: sweets and processed meats raise odds, fruit lowers them

In a large Italian case-control study, researchers identified data-driven dietary patterns linked to Parkinson’s disease risk. Diets rich in sweets, red and cured meats were associated with higher odds of PD, while fruit, especially citrus, was protective.

Systematic analysis reveals psilocybin's impact on obsessive-compulsive behaviors

A systematic review published today in Psychedelics by Mr. James Gattuso and colleagues at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health synthesizes clinical and preclinical evidence on psilocybin's effects on obsessive-compulsive behaviors, revealing consistent therapeutic potential across human patients and validated animal models.

How branding and peer pressure keep kids hooked on energy drinks

Children and adolescents in North East England still find energy drinks easy to access despite a voluntary UK ban, drawn by taste, price, and powerful marketing. Hydration drinks like PRIME are viewed as “healthier,” even though young consumers often misunderstand their ingredients and health impacts.

Study highlights non-inferiority of super-high-pressure non-compliant balloons in coronary interventions

New study findings show that utilizing super-high-pressure non-compliant balloons (NCB) is non-inferior to intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) balloon catheters for lesion preparation and stent expansion in severely calcified lesions during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

AI tool can help detect women at higher risk of developing interval breast cancers

In a study of more than 100,000 screening mammograms, researchers demonstrated the potential of an AI tool to help identify women at higher risk of developing interval breast cancers, breast cancer that is diagnosed between regular screening mammograms.

Eating peanuts while pregnant may influence how a child’s genes respond to breastfeeding

Maternal peanut and peanut butter consumption during pregnancy and breastfeeding shaped DNA methylation patterns in children, particularly in genes regulating neurodevelopment and inflammation. These findings suggest maternal diet can prime offspring epigenetic sensitivity to breastfeeding duration.
