Some of the earliest warning signs of breast cancer risk may be hidden deep within the molecular makeup of breast tissue—long before anything appears on a scan. To uncover those signals, researchers at MUSC Hollings […]
Researchers at McMaster University have identified, for the first time, a novel region of DNA and two associated genes connected to frailty, offering neurological and immune-related insights that might help explain why some older adults […]
Physical activity during pregnancy enhances the metabolic health of offspring, but new research in mice indicates that prenatal stress blunts these benefits, at least in male offspring. The findings are published in The FASEB Journal.This […]
A study published in Rheumatology & Autoimmunity challenges the assumption that achieving clinical remission in rheumatoid arthritis is sufficient, showing that patient-reported outcomes vary significantly by drug class even when disease activity is comparable.This article […]
Kratom is a plant with psychoactive properties that, when taken at high doses, can produce effects similar to opioids. A new study published in Addiction has found that kratom use—measured as kratom exposures reported to […]
