[ Treatment with an immune and cancer cell-targeting antibody therapy eradicates residual traces of the blood cell cancer multiple myeloma, according to interim results from a clinical trial conducted by researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. The findings will be …

[ Previously unknown volcanic eruptions may have kicked off an unlikely series of events that brought the Black Death—the most devastating pandemic in human history—to the shores of medieval Europe, new research has revealed. Source link

[ Artificial Intelligence (AI) can converse, mirror emotions, and simulate human engagement. Publicly available large language models (LLMs)—often used as personalized chatbots or AI characters—are increasingly involved in mental health-related interactions. While these tools offer new possibilities, they also pose significant risks, especially for vulnerable users. Source link

[ A UNC-Chapel Hill study conducted by the Matthew Gfellar Center studied more than 1,500 former NFL players found that two of the most commonly used ways to estimate head injury risk, years played and playing position, are not actually linked to poorer long-term physical or mental health. Instead, researchers …

[ A new study shows that children born preterm who are later diagnosed with autism often present with more extensive support needs and a higher number of co-occurring conditions than autistic children born at full term. Surprisingly, however, the researchers found no differences in genetic variants across the genome, nor …

[ Individuals within the criminal legal system, especially those with mental illness, face challenges completing mental health treatment, despite research exploring potential reasons. A recent study by Melissa Villodas incorporates a new perspective previously not considered—that of the individuals who are receiving these treatments themselves. Villodas’ exploration of participant feedback …

[ Researchers at the University of Colorado Cancer Center have discovered a novel therapy combination that could offer new hope to ovarian cancer patients who do not respond to existing treatments. Conducted entirely at the University of Colorado Anschutz, this research has advanced from the laboratory to a Phase I …

[ Understanding the shape or morphology of neurons and mapping the tree-like branches via which they receive signals from other cells (i.e., dendrites) is a long-standing objective of neuroscience research. Ultimately, this can help to shed light on how information flows through the brain and pin-point differences associated with specific …

[ Researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU) have developed a new tool to evaluate fear avoidance behavior following a concussion. Source link

[ Strong social relationships, particularly high-quality marriages, may help protect against obesity by influencing a complex communication system between the brain and gut, according to new research by UCLA Health. Source link

[ Researchers have identified a molecular mechanism that helps explain why growing up in a stimulating environment enhances memory. In contrast, a lack of stimulation can impair it. The team from the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint research center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Miguel Hernández …

[ Breast cancer is able to modify the lymphatic vessels through which it travels to the draining lymph nodes. From there, it can then spread to other parts of the body. A new finding by Finnish researchers may help develop targeted therapies that could prevent this spread. Source link

[ A new study from researchers at the University of Otago, Faculty of Medicine—Christchurch Ōtautahi, has found that collagen production and skin renewal directly respond to the amount of vitamin C we eat. Source link

[ More than 1 million Americans live with tremors, slowed movement and speech changes caused by Parkinson’s disease—a degenerative and currently incurable condition, according to the Parkinson’s Foundation and the Mayo Clinic. Beyond the emotional toll on patients and families, the disease also exerts a heavy financial burden. In California …

[ Ultrasound can aid in treating complications from cosmetic filler injections, according to research being presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). Source link

[ Eating disorders in moms-to-be are linked to a heightened risk of asthma and wheezing in their children, irrespective of the type of disorder, presence of co-existing depression/anxiety, or the timing of their child’s exposure, finds research published online in the journal Thorax. Source link

[ Researchers from Stellenbosch University have found strong evidence from large trials that calcium supplementation during pregnancy does not reduce the risk of preeclampsia. Source link

[ Researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) found that circadian rhythms—the biological clocks of the body—can influence outcomes related to influenza infections, providing clinicians with insight about how biological processes can be used to optimize care for critically ill patients with respiratory viral infections. Source link

[ As interest in psychedelics surges across the United States, a new study led by researchers at the University of Michigan and the University at Buffalo offers critical harm-reduction guidance for individuals considering their first psychedelic experience. Source link

[ While originally created as a way to help people stop smoking, a UBC Okanagan researcher is raising concerns about oral nicotine pouches being portrayed as trendy and pleasurable, especially among young people. Source link
