Study links multimorbidity to increased fall risk and mortality in older adults

A new study by researchers at Peking University and the Chinese PLA General Hospital has found that multimorbidity-living with multiple chronic diseases-is closely associated with worsening fall conditions and mortality among middle-aged and older adults in China.

Colorectal cancer burden climbs in countries with low milk intake

A global study finds that low milk intake is linked to increased colorectal cancer burden, especially in older adults. Prostate cancer rates showed negative trends, though the findings may reflect model limitations rather than protective effects.

Stanford study reveals glucose's surprising role in cell differentiation

The sugar glucose, which is the main source of energy in almost every living cell, has been revealed in a Stanford Medicine study to also be a master regulator of tissue differentiation - the process by which stem cells give rise to specialized cells that make up all the body's tissues.

7-day creatine ‘wash-in’ boosts muscle mass in women — but not long-term, study reveals

A 7-day creatine monohydrate wash-in increased lean body mass in females, especially in the trunk, but adding creatine to resistance training didn’t boost muscle gains beyond training alone. Higher doses or hydration tracking may be needed for long-term effects.

Healthcare groups urge FDA to act on compounding regulations after GLP-1 medicine shortages

Today, the Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) and The Obesity Society (TOS) sent a letter to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), along with more than 20 leading organizations and providers across the healthcare continuum, urging the agency to enforce federal regulations around compounding following the recent resolution of GLP-1 medicine shortages.

High-fat diet impairs neutrophil function in obesity

A new study in The Journal of Immunology reveals how a high-fat diet may impair the immune system's ability to respond to infection by impacting the function of neutrophils, one of the first immune cells to respond to bacteria or viruses.

Young men with late puberty have healthier fat-to-muscle ratios

Later puberty in young men is linked to lower bone volume and lean mass, but a healthier body composition. Earlier puberty leads to higher bone density and slightly higher BMI and fat mass.

$Immature platelet fraction can be a predictive tool to monitor platelet recovery in dengue fever patients$

Immature platelet fraction can be a predictive tool to monitor platelet recovery in dengue fever patients

Dengue fever's clinical progression is closely tied to platelet dynamics, yet predicting recovery remains challenging.

NKD2 protein discovery opens up new possibilities in the fight against bone loss

A transformative study has uncovered the pivotal role of the protein Naked cuticle homolog 2 (NKD2) in regulating the differentiation of bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts.

U.S. consumers still unaware of raw milk risks despite bird flu findings

Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) located H5N1 bird flu virus in samples of raw, or unpasteurized, milk in tests in four states in April 2024, and bird flu has been detected in commercially sold raw milk, many Americans do not know that consuming raw milk and its products poses greater health risks than consuming pasteurized milk and its products, especially for children.

Study links inflammation pathways to changes in bone mineral density

In one of the first studies of its kind, a team of researchers from Keck School of Medicine of USC has found that proteins and pathways involved in inflammation are associated with changes in bone mineral density (BMD) over time.

Long-term study shows knee replacements last lifetime for active young adults

A 40-year study by Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) researchers has found that active young adults who underwent total knee replacement were unlikely to require knee replacement revision in their lifetime, according to a new study shared today in a podium presentation at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons 2025 Annual Meeting.
