Women who have survived a stroke believe they are less likely to receive adequate emergency care—based on gender and race or ethnicity, a study led by Michigan Medicine and Brown University finds.

Artificially causing—or inducing—labor is becoming increasingly common, yet this practice comes with risks and its level of success is difficult to foresee. But now, new research may offer a way to help predict outcomes and improve the process.

Researchers have identified genetic tests that predict which cancer patients may benefit from the drugs in combination with chemotherapy.

Pregnant women living in blighted neighborhoods with high levels of known stressors have higher levels of testosterone—the primary sex hormone in males—which disrupt hormone regulation and may lead to life-threatening complications during and after childbirth, according to Rutgers research.

Researchers have identified a new neural circuit in the brain which produces a strong sense of discomfort when activated. The discovery also allows them to show for the first time that the subthalamic nucleus, a structure in the brain that controls voluntary movements, may also play a role in the development of depression. The results could lead to better treatments for Parkinson’s disease.

Regulatory T cells are specialized immune cells that suppress the immune response and prevent the body from attacking its own cells. Understanding how these cells work is key to determining how they might be manipulated to encourage the destruction of cancer cells or prevent autoimmunity.

A speech prosthetic developed by a collaborative team of Duke neuroscientists, neurosurgeons, and engineers can translate a person’s brain signals into what they’re trying to say.

PRESIDENT Hakainde Hichilema and former President Edgar Lungu owe it to the nation to cease fire and find an amicable solution to their differences.

Multiple sclerosis patients whose blood tests reveal elevated NfL, a biomarker of nerve damage, could see worsening disability one to two years later, according to a new study spearheaded by researchers at UC San Francisco.

A comprehensive new study from deCODE genetics published in Nature Genetics, provides insights into the epidemiology and somatic and germline genetics of clonal hematopoiesis. Whole genome sequence data from Iceland and the UK Biobank, combined with a unique somatic mutation Barcoding strategy, was used to investigate clonal hematopoiesis at the population scale.
