Aged aircraft exhaust poses a rising threat to human health

Fine particulate matter consists of tiny particles with diameters in the nanometer range. They are produced, for example, by fuel combustion, remain suspended in the air and can penetrate deep into the respiratory tract.

Novel gene rejuvenation therapy preserves cell identity while reversing age

Every organ and tissue progressively loses function and integrity as it ages. In fact, researchers have identified "hallmarks of aging" that not only present specific processes impacted by age, but are also thought of as levers that, if successfully targeted, could help turn back the aging clock and result in tissue rejuvenation.

Novel bioprinting technique successfully replicates mature human fat tissue

A research team has developed a support-bath bioprinting method that enables fragile, mature human adipocytes to be incorporated into geometrically defined three-dimensional (3D) constructs while retaining their viability, characteristic lipid-filled morphology, and metabolic activity.

Local DNA motion remains nearly constant during cell interphase

Human genomic DNA is wrapped around core histone proteins to form nucleosomes, the fundamental units of chromatin.

From turmeric to fenugreek, scientists examine nature’s potential role in diabetes care

A narrative review examined how curcumin, honey, culinary spices, and traditional remedies may influence oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial function, and insulin signaling in diabetes. Although experimental research and some clinical trials suggest potential metabolic benefits, the authors emphasize that larger, well-controlled studies are needed to establish their effectiveness and safety alongside conventional treatments.

Disadvantaged children with intellectual disabilities face greater mental health difficulties

Children with intellectual disabilities face greater mental health difficulties when they are from a disadvantaged background, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.

ACLM launches resources to meet new medical nutrition requirements

The American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) has launched two resources to help medical schools meet new federal nutrition requirements and to support practicing physicians seeking education relevant to state-level nutrition education requirements.

Targeting the RUNX1 gene helps reduce severe skin fibrosis

Skin fibrosis includes hypertrophic scar (HTS), keloid scar (KS), and systemic sclerosis (SSc). These conditions share persistent fibroblast activation, excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, and progressive skin remodeling.

Exercise boosts psychological wellbeing for menopausal women

Engaging in physical activity during menopause can improve depression, mood and overall quality of life, a new study led by UCL researchers has found.

New research shows reduced toxicant exposure reduces biological activity

Two newly published studies from Imperial Brands scientists have provided further evidence that products associated with lower levels of combustion-related toxicants also produce substantially lower levels of combustion-related toxicants also produce substantially lower biological activity than cigarette smoke under laboratory conditions.

Beyond ‘bad’ cholesterol: new clues to the risk of heart disease

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, in Sweden, shed new light on the remaining risk of heart disease, even after the known risk factor of ‘bad’ cholesterol is brought down to a healthy level.

Your favorite song might make a needle prick hurt less

A study of 204 patients undergoing intravenous cannulation before MRI found that those listening to their favorite music reported significantly lower pain scores than patients hearing no music at 30 seconds and two minutes after puncture. Mozart was also associated with lower pain scores among patients with pre-existing pain, while relaxation music showed no significant benefit, although the non-randomized findings require confirmation.

Three months of yoga before surgery revealed a surprising difference in stress hormones

In a non-randomized study of 40 adults with severe obesity awaiting bariatric surgery, researchers found significantly lower plasma noradrenaline levels in yoga participants than in controls after adjusting for baseline measurements. The researchers detected no significant DNA methylation changes in three inflammatory genes and found no clear psychological or metabolic benefits.

Conventional diagnostic tools overlook gaming disorder in female players

Playing more and more, struggling to cut back, or continuing to game despite its negative impact on everyday life can all be signs of gaming disorder.

Targeting mitochondrial vulnerabilities could help treat triple-negative breast cancer

A deeper understanding of mitochondrial function could create new opportunities for treating triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), one of the most aggressive and difficult-to-treat forms of breast cancer.

Targeting lipophagy could help treat metabolic and oxidative stress-related diseases

A review published in Genes & Diseases highlights lipophagy, the cellular process that selectively breaks down lipid droplets, as a potentially important therapeutic target for conditions driven by disrupted lipid metabolism and oxidative stress.

Oregon's licensed psilocybin centers prioritize safety but remain highly expensive

A new study has found that Oregon's licensed psilocybin centers largely follow recommended safety guidelines, offering reassurance about how the first regulated psilocybin programs in the U.S. function in practice - though the cost of treatment may keep it out of reach for many.

Vascular anatomy influences experimental stroke treatment effectiveness

A preclinical study from Duke University researchers suggests that the effectiveness of an experimental approach to limiting stroke-related brain injury may depend not only on the drug itself, but also on the brain's collateral circulation: the network of small "backup" blood vessels that can help sustain tissue when a major artery is blocked.

A simple handgrip test offers new clues about long COVID

Weaker handgrip strength correlates with severe long COVID symptoms, highlighting its potential as a measure for muscle dysfunction and recovery challenges.

What people ate at the start of a 20-year study was linked to their heart failure odds

Researchers linked higher baseline diet quality to lower odds of developing heart failure over 20 years among 2,159 Greek adults initially free of cardiovascular disease. Healthy-food consumption showed the most consistent association, but the observational study cannot establish that dietary changes prevent heart failure.
