An international team of researchers has explored how multi-omics—the integration of molecular data across different biological layers—can enhance our understanding of the way genetic and environmental factors interact to influence chronic diseases.

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for obstructive sleep apnea is most effective in improving neurocognition in people who have a high arousal threshold, according to a new research analysis. The study, published in the European Respiratory Journal, suggests that CPAP, currently used as a one-size-fits-all treatment, may not be beneficial for all people with obstructive sleep apnea.

More than 60,000 people die from heart valve disease (HVD) in the U.S. each year, according to the American Heart Association 2025 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistical Update. Additionally, data from the Statistical Update shows that more than 28 million people worldwide are living with some type of heart valve disease, an increase of more than 30% in the past decade.

People seeking online support for addiction recovery may encounter cynical marketing by the addiction treatment industry that sometimes prioritizes financial gain over clients’ health and well-being, according to a study of public discourse around substance use recovery on Twitter.

Microbiota transplantation is safe and effective for treating clostridioides difficile infections, according to a clinical trial published in the journal Gastroenterology.

Stanford University researchers developed a machine learning-based method capable of diagnosing multiple diseases using B cell and T cell receptor sequences. The model, called Machine learning for Immunological Diagnosis (Mal-ID), distinguished between COVID-19, HIV, lupus, type 1 diabetes, influenza vaccination response, and healthy states, achieving near-perfect classification.

Scientists have developed an AI-powered tool that detects 64% of brain abnormalities linked to epilepsy that human radiologists miss.

A new study led by Prof. Yoram Burak of the Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences and the Racah Institute of Physics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem unveils a unifying mathematical framework to explain how “place cells” in the hippocampus encode spatial information across diverse species and environments.

Low-value care—medical tests and procedures that provide little to no benefit to patients—contributes to excess medical spending and both direct and cascading harms to patients. A research team from Mass General Brigham and their collaborators have found that telemedicine may help to reduce the use of low-value tests. The work is published in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Researchers from McMaster University and collaborating institutions found that commonly performed interventional procedures for chronic non-cancer spine pain may provide little to no pain relief when compared with sham procedures.
