Engineered beneficial bacteria reduce bloodstream infections after stem cell transplants

Researchers at City of Hope®, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the country, and collaborators have pioneered a new approach to preventing dangerous bloodstream infections in patients receiving donor stem cell transplants for blood cancers.

A low-calorie diet and exercise helped 54% of younger adults achieve diabetes remission

In a randomized clinical trial involving 96 adults with early-onset type 2 diabetes and obesity, a 24-week program combining a low-energy diet with supervised exercise achieved diabetes remission in 54% of participants, compared with 4% receiving usual care. The intervention also reduced body fat, largely preserved muscle mass, and improved strength and body-mass-adjusted fitness, although the additional benefits attributable specifically to exercise remain uncertain.

Blueberries reduced blood vessel inflammation in mice, but only with gut microbes present

A preclinical study found that gut microbes help convert blueberry phytochemicals into circulating metabolites, including hippuric acid, that are associated with reduced vascular inflammation. In mice fed a high-fat diet, blueberry supplementation reduced inflammatory markers and monocyte adhesion to blood vessels, but these benefits disappeared following antibiotic-mediated gut microbial depletion.

Heart disease and depression may affect brain aging in an unexpected way

A longitudinal study of 5,423 adults in England found that cardiovascular disease was associated with faster cognitive decline, with the strongest association observed among participants with consistently low depressive symptoms. Those with persistent moderate or high depressive symptoms generally experienced poorer cognitive performance and faster overall deterioration, despite showing a weaker additional association between cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline.

Study highlights overlooked pain from diabetes-related foot ulcers

Diabetes-related foot ulcers are often associated with numbness in the feet. According to patients, the fact that these ulcers can also cause severe and unpredictable pain does not receive sufficient attention within the healthcare system, according to a doctoral thesis from the University of Gothenburg.

Long-term study supports cardiovascular safety of contemporary hormone replacement therapy

Contemporary hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was not associated with an increased risk for heart attack, stroke, blood clots or death among women ages 45 to 59, according to a large, long-term study of over 52,000 women in Israel.

More screen time, less sleep: What researchers observed in children with obesity

A cross-sectional study of 70 children in Spain found that those with obesity reported more daily recreational screen time, shorter sleep duration, and more frequent chronic sleep disturbances than their normal-weight peers. Higher screen-time scores were significantly associated with greater odds of obesity, while the association with sleep disturbances did not reach statistical significance.

Two healthy diets stood out in a study of more than 7,000 adults

In a cross-sectional analysis of 7,256 adults from the Maastricht Study, researchers found that greater adherence to the DASH and Dutch Healthy Diet patterns was associated with higher very-low-frequency (VLF) heart rate variability power, particularly among participants not taking beta-blockers. No significant associations were observed across time-domain HRV measures after full adjustment, and the findings do not establish that these diets improve cardiovascular function.

Could GLP-1 drugs help women with PCOS beyond weight loss?

A scoping review of 28 studies suggests that GLP-1 receptor agonists may improve androgen levels and menstrual function in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), alongside their established metabolic benefits. Evidence for improved ovulation, fertility, and pregnancy outcomes remains limited, and the researchers could not determine whether reproductive benefits result directly from the drugs or from weight loss and improved metabolic health.

Eating walnuts was linked to higher IgG levels, but what does that mean for health?

A two-year randomized trial involving 474 older adults found that daily consumption of 30–60 grams of walnuts was associated with 6% higher total serum IgG concentrations compared with a control diet, with an 11% difference observed among US participants. Walnut consumption did not significantly affect IgM, MDA-LDL or MDA-LDL-specific antibodies, and whether the modest IgG difference has meaningful cardiovascular benefits remains unknown.

Extreme heat and cold hit some people far harder, and it's not just about illness

Researchers analysing 285,444 adults in Finland and the UK found that excess mortality associated with extreme heat and cold was more than tenfold higher among people with both pre-existing medical conditions and socioeconomic disadvantage than among those with neither or only one vulnerability. Climate modelling suggested that warming from approximately 1°C to 4°C could increase the proportion of deaths attributable to extreme temperatures from around 1% to more than 5% in both countries.

Discarded fruit and vegetable parts offer overlooked fiber benefits

Most of us routinely discard the peels, skins, stalks, and seeds of fruits and vegetables at mealtime. But new research from King's College London suggests these scraps could be a valuable – and overlooked – source of dietary fiber, offering potential benefits for both public health and the environment.

Major studies identify accurate non-invasive tests for liver disease

Two major international studies have delivered the strongest evidence to date on which non-invasive tests can accurately diagnose and measure the severity of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its more severe form, MASH, reducing reliance on liver biopsy.
