Columbia scientists have found specialized neurons in the brains of mice that order the animals to stop eating. The findings appear in a paper, “Brainstem Neuropeptidergic Neurons Link a Neurohumoral Axis to Satiation,” published Feb. 5 in Cell.

Scientists of the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) have identified new interactions between pancreatic cancer cells and the immune system. The insights of the research group provide important approaches for innovative therapies. The findings are published in Nature Communications.

A newly discovered line of communication between body muscle and the pituitary gland may play an unexpected role in female fertility, according to a new study.

A computer model of the cellular environment inside the knee developed by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers sheds light on why women tend to have worse outcomes after knee injuries than men. Their findings, published in Scientific Reports, could facilitate research into new therapies for knee inflammatory disorders and personalized treatments for patients with these conditions.

Hereditary high cholesterol (FH) is the most common hereditary disease and, if left untreated, can lead to atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease and, in the worst cases, blood clots.

Many people looking to improve their health try to boost fiber intake by eating more vegetables.

The words “artificial intelligence” are now ubiquitous, their influence having risen dramatically in recent years and their impact being felt in health care and many other job sectors. In health care, artificial intelligence, or AI, has the potential to make drug discovery faster and cheaper and improve diagnoses and treatments. How should AI ensure patient privacy and how can it be used fairly? How might AI improve patient care, increase efficiency, and reduce costs? These are questions that need thoughtful discussion.

For people with weakened immune systems, common molds lurking in the environment—in the soil, along damp walls or on a forgotten apple—can cause dangerous infections deep inside the body. These invasive mold infections can quickly become fatal without treatment, yet they are difficult to diagnose without invasive procedures such as a tissue biopsy.

In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, statistics emerged showing significant discrepancies in mortality by county.
