Gaining too little or too much weight in pregnancy affects birth outcomes

The review of 1.6 million pregnancies shows diverse weight gain impacts, stressing the urgency for updated guidelines to improve maternal and infant health.

Hearing loss emerges as a key early warning sign for Alzheimer disease

Hearing loss also predicts a significantly higher risk of dementia, especially in APOE ε4 carriers, highlighting its value as an early risk marker.

New signaling molecule drives development of tissue resident memory T cells

We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (TRM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease.

New clues in pancreas lymph nodes, spleen could help detect and prevent type 1 diabetes

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) impacts nearly two million Americans, and by the time most people learn they have it, most of the body's insulin-producing cells are destroyed.

Study highlights limitations of current cardiac screening tools

Current cardiac screening tools used to prevent heart attacks fail to identify nearly half of the people who are actually at risk of having one, according to a new study led by Mount Sinai researchers.

Inflammation control can protect against AMD-like retinal damage

University of Minnesota Medical School researchers have shown that reducing chronic inflammation can significantly protect against age-related macular degeneration (AMD)-like pathology in preclinical models.

Combined healthy eating and exercise linked to greater reductions in visceral fat

Improving diet and increasing physical activity levels together may be more effective at preventing weight gain – particularly harmful fat inside the abdomen – than just changing one of these behaviours, new research from the University of Cambridge suggests.

Reduced ketone body metabolism may be key to impaired energy production in type 2 diabetes

The liver plays a central role in storing and supplying energy to the body. In type 2 diabetes and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, commonly referred to as fatty liver disease), mitochondria-the cell's power plants-cannot switch efficiently between fuel sources.

Ultraprocessed diets affect teens and young adults differently

A study reveals that adolescents consume more calories on ultraprocessed diets, highlighting a critical vulnerability in modern food environments.

Study compares GLP-1 drug benefits and finds substantial variation in clinical effects

GLP-1 receptor agonists improve glycaemic control and provide renal, metabolic, and selective cardiovascular benefits in people with type 2 diabetes, based on an umbrella review of 17 meta-analyses. However, these agents consistently increase gastrointestinal adverse effects and show important distinctions between class-level outcomes and individual drug effects, particularly for semaglutide.

Midlife exercise cuts dementia risk by up to 45 percent, new study shows

Higher physical activity in midlife and late life is linked to a substantially lower risk of all-cause and Alzheimer’s dementia. Midlife benefits are strongest for moderate or heavy activity, while late-life activity is protective across all intensity levels.
