A new study published in the journal Vaccine reveals that improvements in the supply chain and delivery of human rabies vaccines in Tanzania and Kenya could significantly reduce preventable deaths and ensure more efficient use of health budgets.

A new study published in the June 2025 issue of Pediatrics reveals the successful implementation of a clinical-community program designed to address menstrual poverty among adolescents and young adults.

Among older people in Sweden, vaccination against COVID-19 has shifted from a high and uniform level when the first vaccinations were provided to more uneven levels today. A national study shows both regional and socioeconomic differences.

Researchers from USask have identified a potential target for eliminating breast cancer cells. The team was led by Dr. Franco Vizeacoumar (Ph.D.) and Dr. Andrew Freywald (Ph.D.) with USask and the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency.

A decade ago, a clinical trial in the U.K. famously showed that children who were exposed to peanuts in the early months of life had reduced risk of developing a peanut allergy compared with children who avoided peanuts.

Lymphomas belong to the group of malignant diseases of the immune system and mainly affect the organs of the lymphatic system. Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) belongs to the subgroup of non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas and is a rare but aggressive form of T-cell lymphoma that usually occurs in children and young adults.

Worldwide, an estimated 40 million people live with HIV. Two-thirds of this group are on the African continent. In 2023, more than 600,000 people died from HIV-related causes and 1.32 million were infected. There is no vaccine against the world’s second most deadly infection, after TB. However, researchers from Amsterdam UMC have set an important first step in reaching that goal. The results of their phase one trial are published in Science.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) might contribute to obesity by reducing physical activity—a relationship that can also be mediated by the features of the urban environment in which a person lives.

University of Oklahoma researchers have discovered that some bacteria in the gut have their own unique “weapon system” to compete against other bacteria for dominance. Importantly, there is promising evidence that this system can be repurposed to target diseased cells like cancer.

That fit people have a reduced risk of premature death from various diseases is a recurring result in many studies. New research from Uppsala University shows that people with high fitness levels in their late teens also have a reduced risk of dying from random accidents. This suggests that the associations seen in previous studies have probably been misleading.
