Study shows sharp increase in kidney disease deaths linked to high blood pressure

The death rate from hypertensive kidney disease (high blood pressure-related kidney disease) increased by 48% in the U.S. over the past 25 years, with continued differences across demographic groups, according to preliminary research presented at the American Heart Association's Hypertension Scientific Sessions 2025.

HER2 and CD24 emerge as promising radiotheranostic targets in endometrial cancer

Two molecular targets-human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) and cluster of differentiation 24 (CD24)-are highly promising candidates for new nuclear diagnostics and therapeutics for endometrial cancer, according to new research published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

Research on marmosets sheds light on how babies learn to talk

When a baby babbles and their parents respond, these back-and-forth exchanges are more than adorable-if-incoherent chatter - they help to build a baby's emerging language skills.

Study: Not all dietary proteins are digested equally in the gut

As protein-rich diets become increasingly popular, a new study suggests that categorizing dietary proteins as either animal- or plant-based fails to effectively capture the source-specific differences in their composition, digestive efficiency and accessibility to the gut microbiota.

Single hair strand reveals elemental patterns linked to ALS

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have shown for the first time that a single strand of hair can reveal unique elemental patterns that distinguish people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) from healthy individuals.
