Heart attack in older adults linked to higher risk of late-onset epilepsy

Older adults who have a heart attack may be more likely to develop epilepsy later in life, according to a study published November 5, 2025 in Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

What’s driving England’s rise in chronic illness? Ageing, not lifestyle, researchers find

A new Nature Communications study using the IMPACTNCD microsimulation model projects that England’s major illness burden will rise sharply by 2043, even with substantial lifestyle improvements. Population ageing, not modifiable risk factors, remains the dominant driver of future multimorbidity.

How gut microbes shape sleep: New review reveals microbiome clues to insomnia and apnea

A new Brain Medicine review maps how gut microbes influence sleep disorders, from insomnia and sleep apnea to circadian disruption, via bile acids, neurotransmitters, and immune pathways. The findings highlight gut-driven targets for improving sleep quality through diet, probiotics, and microbiome modulation.

Opioid receptors caught in motion offering clues for safer painkillers

Scientists have known for decades that opioids relieve pain by binding to molecular switches in the brain called mu-opioid (pronounced "mew-opioid") receptors. What they didn't know - until now - was exactly what happens next.

Bowel cancer’s “Big Bang” moment reveals how the disease takes shape

Like the astronomical explosion that kickstarted the universe, bowel cancer has a "Big Bang" moment which determines how it will grow, according to new research from Cancer Research UK and Wellcome Trust-funded scientists.

Study sheds light on how Alzheimer's disease may contribute to larger health issues

A recent study from Houston Methodist sheds light on how Alzheimer's disease may contribute to larger health issues by hijacking the body's ability to regulate its metabolism.

Action needed to fix gender gap in cardiac rehab

Addressing barriers to cardiac rehab for women is essential. The AHA's guidelines focus on enhancing access and promoting effective heart health strategies.

People with traumatic spinal cord injuries at higher risk of developing chronic health problems

A new study by investigators from Mass General Brigham shows that patients with traumatic spinal cord injuries (TSCI) are at a higher risk of developing a myriad of chronic health problems, regardless of age, location of the injury and prior health status.

UCLA experts call for individualized heart monitoring in breast cancer survivors

As breast cancer survival rates continue to climb - 4.3 million women in the U.S. are currently living with a history of the disease and in the next 10 years that number is expected to rise by another million - heart health has become an increasingly important part of survivorship care.

New initiative aims to accelerate aortic stenosis diagnosis and treatment

People living with aortic stenosis (AS) could gain earlier access to innovative care and treatment thanks to a new effort from the American Heart Association designed to boost clinical trial participation and speed diagnosis of this common but underdiagnosed heart valve condition.

Children face greater heart and inflammatory risks after COVID-19 infection than vaccination

The study is the largest of its kind in this population, and is published in The Lancet Child and Adolescent Health.

Do GLP-1 drugs cause cancer? New review says no, may even protect

A comprehensive review in The Journal of Clinical Investigation finds no overall link between GLP-1 receptor agonists and increased cancer risk, countering early safety concerns. Instead, evidence suggests possible protective effects for certain cancers, supported by metabolic and immune-modulating mechanisms.

GLP-1 drugs calm inflammation beyond diabetes and weight loss

This Journal of Clinical Investigation review describes how glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)–based medicines reduce systemic and tissue inflammation through both weight-dependent and weight-independent mechanisms. It details preclinical and clinical evidence linking GLP-1 receptor activation to cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, neural, and joint anti-inflammatory effects while outlining uncertainties and future research needs.
