Researchers discover a previously unknown genetic cause for microcephaly

Microcephaly is a congenital malformation that leads to a significantly reduced brain size and is often accompanied by developmental delay.

Liver cirrhosis found to be more common in low-income households

Liver cirrhosis is significantly more common in low-income households than in high-income households. This is the result of a national study which, according to the researchers, calls for more preventive action in the most vulnerable groups.

Electronic health record data reveals trends in cardiovascular diseases before and after COVID-19

The electronic health record data analyzed in this study is anonymized and never leaves a secure data environment, which is only accessible by approved researchers working on approved projects.

Scripps Research wins $4 million CIRM grant to develop novel platform for neurodevelopmental disorders

Most people are born with two functioning copies of each gene-one inherited from each parent. In many cases, having just one working copy is enough for the body to function normally.

New software enables real-time pathogen surveillance in the air and environment

Metagenomics is the study of all organisms present in a particular environment, such as soil, water, or the human body. A key part of metagenomic analysis is understanding what species are present (classification), how much of each there is (abundance), and the function of the microorganisms present.

New research highlights crucial role of continuous walking patterns for cardiovascular benefit

An international study led by experts at the University of Sydney and the Universidad Europea in Spain has found that longer periods of continuous walking are more beneficial to cardiovascular health than walking the same number of steps in shorter, more sporadic bouts.

Air pollution, even below EPA guidelines, increases breast cancer risk

Women living in parts of the United States with lower air quality, especially neighborhoods with heavy emissions from motor vehicles, are more likely to develop breast cancer, according to a multiyear analysis involving more than 400,000 women and 28,000 breast cancer cases.

Clinically significant valvular heart disease vastly underdiagnosed in U.S. elders

Results from the PREVUE-VALVE study suggest that there are currently at least 4.7 million people aged 65-85 living with moderate or greater valvular heart disease (VHD) in the United States, and at least 10.6 million with clinically significant VHD, most of whom are unaware of their condition.

Novel antibiotic shows activity against WHO high priority pathogen VRE

Chemists from the University of Warwick and Monash University have discovered a promising new antibiotic that shows activity against drug-resistant bacterial pathogens, including MRSA and VRE.

Eating peanuts while pregnant may influence how a child’s genes respond to breastfeeding

Maternal peanut and peanut butter consumption during pregnancy and breastfeeding shaped DNA methylation patterns in children, particularly in genes regulating neurodevelopment and inflammation. These findings suggest maternal diet can prime offspring epigenetic sensitivity to breastfeeding duration.

Scientists uncover the gut’s hidden hydrogen engine and how it falters in Crohn’s disease

Study reveals that group B [FeFe]-hydrogenase is the primary enzyme driving fermentative hydrogen production in the healthy human gut, mainly through Bacteroides species. These genes are significantly depleted in Crohn’s disease, indicating a metabolic shift and altered hydrogen cycling dominated by respiratory bacteria

Obesity’s health risks shift with age and sex, new genetic study reveals

Using a new time-resolved Mendelian randomization approach in over 360,000 UK Biobank participants, Karlsson et al. revealed that the causal impact of obesity changes across life, with distinct age- and sex-specific risk patterns for diabetes, heart disease, atrial fibrillation, and osteoarthritis.

Can cheese help prevent dementia? Japanese researchers say it might

Older Japanese adults who ate cheese at least once a week had a 21–24% lower risk of developing dementia over three years. The association remained significant even after adjusting for lifestyle and socioeconomic factors, suggesting a modest but meaningful protective effect.

Sirolimus-eluting balloon strategy matches drug-eluting stents in large international PCI trial

New study results from a large international all-comer population of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) candidates found that utilizing a strategy of sirolimus-eluting balloons with bailout stenting only if necessary was noninferior to routine drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation as part of the treatment for de novo coronary artery disease.

UMass Amherst researcher receives $17.9 million to advance jail-based addiction and HIV care

A University of Massachusetts Amherst public health researcher has received four grants totaling $17.9 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to continue groundbreaking research that implemented and assessed medical treatment programs for incarcerated people with opioid use disorder, as well as develop a new program for HIV prevention and treatment.
