Even in seemingly affluent counties such as Surrey, teens are unable to access healthy lifestyles due to poverty, geographical inequalities, discrimination and mental health challenges, according to a new study from the University of Surrey. The research, published in the journal Nutrients, looked into the experiences of youth workers and captured the voices of young people, finding that, while teenagers understand the importance of good food and exercise, they face a daily struggle against factors often beyond their control.
AI model achieves expert-level accuracy in non-invasive breast cancer diagnosis using MRI data
Researchers from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed Mixture of Modality Experts (MOME), a large artificial intelligence (AI) model for non-invasive breast cancer diagnosis. Trained on China’s largest multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) breast cancer dataset, MOME achieves expert-level accuracy in classifying tumor malignancy, comparable to that of radiologists with five+ years of experience.
Things are bad in Zambia, we can’t pretend, says Catholic priest

UK sees 20% drop in cancer mortality but diagnoses still rising
Cancer death rates across the U.K. have dropped by 22% since the 1970s, according to the latest Cancer in the UK Report 2025 published by Cancer Research UK.
Excessive oleic acid, found in olive oil, shown to drive fat cell growth
Eating a high-fat diet containing a large amount of oleic acid—a type of fatty acid commonly found in olive oil—could drive obesity more than other types of dietary fats, according to a study published in the journal Cell Reports.
Talking therapy shows promise as an effective treatment for stroke survivors
Stroke survivors with depression or anxiety who attend talking therapy sessions are more likely to recover from their psychological symptoms, finds a new study by UCL researchers.
A ‘handbook’ to fast-track breakthroughs in scarring research
Pinpointing the precise culprits behind harmful biological processes—such as excessive scarring (fibrosis) in organs like the kidneys and lungs—has long remained challenging even though this affects almost a billion people worldwide. But thanks to the emergence of single-cell isolation technologies, researchers have been able to zero in on the specific immune cells causing trouble.
How gene fusions cause kidney cancer by forming condensates that hijack transcription
A genetic mutation that fuses two genes drives several different cancer types by forming networks of protein interactions that alter gene expression in cells, a study by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers suggests. The findings, published in the journal Cell, could lead to new treatments for an aggressive kidney cancer and may hold promise for a diverse set of other cancers, the study authors said.
Bowel cancer rates are declining in people over 50. But why are they going up in younger adults?
Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in Australia, with more than 15,000 cases diagnosed annually. It’s also the second most common cause of cancer-related death.
New study links longer reproductive years to healthier brain aging in women
A new study published in GigaScience suggests that the number of years a woman spends in her reproductive phase—between her first period and menopause—may be linked to how well her brain ages later in life.
