Mobile health intervention improves quality of life for adolescent and young adult breast cancer survivors

A mobile health (mHealth) intervention for adolescent and young adult breast cancer survivors that offered tailored support by monitoring electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) significantly improved quality of life and symptoms related to vaginal and arm problems, according to results from a randomized clinical trial presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), held December 9-12, 2025.

WHO global expert committee finds no causal link exists between vaccines and autism

New analysis from a WHO global expert committee on vaccine safety has found that, based on available evidence, no causal link exists between vaccines and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The conclusion reaffirms WHO's position that childhood vaccines do not cause autism.

Massive genetics study shows what truly separates and unites 14 psychiatric disorders

This large-scale genomic analysis of 14 psychiatric disorders shows that most heritable risk is shared across five broad genetic factors, with only limited disorder-specific variation. The study maps where risks converge or diverge biologically, revealing distinct cell type signatures and developmental pathways that may guide future diagnostic and therapeutic frameworks.

How ultra-processed foods shape Crohn’s disease risk and what dietary strategies can really help

This narrative review synthesizes evidence showing that higher intake of ultra-processed foods is consistently associated with increased Crohn’s disease risk, with mechanistic pathways implicating emulsifiers, carrageenan, maltodextrin, titanium dioxide, sweeteners and salt. It also highlights that minimally processed dietary strategies, including EEN and CDED, show therapeutic promise, particularly in pediatric Crohn’s disease.

New findings show why the human intestine uniquely presents gluten to T cells

Human intestinal M cells function as dendritic cell-like antigen-presenting cells, displaying constitutive MHC-II activity and specialized machinery for processing gluten. Their ability to deamidate and present gliadin peptides positions them as key initiators of immune responses relevant to coeliac disease.

What happens to your body when you eat takeaway food too often?

This study of 8,556 US adults shows that frequent takeaway food consumption is associated with a higher energy-adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index and adverse cardiometabolic markers. The findings suggest that reducing takeaway intake and lowering dietary inflammatory potential may improve long-term cardiometabolic health.

More AI explanations can reduce accuracy in cancer diagnosis

In recent years AI has emerged as a powerful tool for analyzing medical images. Thanks to advances in computing and large medical datasets from which AI can learn, it has proven to be a valuable aid in reading and analyzing patterns in X-rays, MRIs and CT scans, enabling doctors to make better and faster decisions, particularly in the treatment and diagnosis of life-threatening diseases like cancer.

Proton therapy improves survival in oropharyngeal cancer patients

A new study published today in The Lancet showed a significant survival benefit for patients with oropharyngeal cancers who were treated with proton therapy (IMPT) compared to those treated with traditional radiation therapy (IMRT).

New molecular ruler enables precise measurement of toxic Tau fibrils in fluid samples

Researchers have developed a new tool, FibrilPaint combined with the FibrilRuler test, that allows scientists to directly measure the length of toxic Tau amyloid fibrils in tiny fluid samples, from the earliest aggregation stages to mature fibrils and even at very low concentrations.
