A new study published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior highlights critical constructs essential for addressing dietary inequalities and promoting overall health.

During development, cells grow, expand, and migrate to generate tissues and organs in a highly controlled manner. Many intracellular pathways—series of signaling cascades within a cell—regulate these actions to avoid non-programmed growth that could lead to malformations or cancer. One of these pathways is the PTEN / PI3K axis, a complex series of perfectly balanced chemical reactions.

Americans are increasingly waiting weeks or even months to get an appointment to see a health care specialist.

Stimming—short for “self-stimulatory behavior”—is a form of self-soothing commonly seen in autistic people. It can involve repetitive movements, sounds, or actions and is commonly regarded in medical literature as part of “rigid and repetitive behavior.”

By analyzing DNA and proteins in the blood of people with and without acute spinal cord injuries (SCIs), researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have developed a novel blood test that has the potential to rapidly predict the severity and likelihood of sensory and motor recovery within six months in a cost-effective manner.

Patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a valve designed to treat aortic regurgitation had an overall mortality rate of just 8.1% at one year, well below the trial’s prespecified goal of 25% to show non-inferiority, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session (ACC.25).

Scheduling practices significantly impact job satisfaction for nurses at all levels, with flexibility, transparency, equity, and autonomy key factors for scheduling success, according to a new study led by researchers at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing.

A new diagnostic tool developed by physicians and scientists from UNSW Sydney that analyzes a person’s breath for signs of silicosis has the potential to catch the disease earlier rather than wait for irreversible lung damage to appear.

A habit that is worrying health authorities in Sweden where increasing numbers of teenagers are taking what’s known as “snus” is also concerning football authorities in England where one-fifth of professional players are regularly indulging because they say it improves their game.

A research team has identified the impact of stem cell infusion timing on the incidence and severity of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), highlighting the role of the recipient’s circadian rhythms. The team was led by Prof. Zhan Cheng from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chief Physician Zhu Xiaoyu from the Department of Hematology at the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China.
