When cholesterol levels in the bloodstream become excessive, a condition known as hypercholesterolemia can occur, posing a serious threat to the arteries and overall cardiovascular health. Researchers from the University of Barcelona and the University of Oregon have now developed a new therapeutic tool that can help regulate cholesterol levels in the blood. Their findings … Read more
(MedPage Today) — CHICAGO — A novel combination drug targeting neuromuscular dysfunction in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) reduced severity of the condition in two pivotal randomized trials. In the SynAIRgy trial, those who received at least…
In cities, coworking spaces bring people together to collaborate and innovate. Inside cancer cells, a similar concept plays out — but with deadly consequences. Scientists at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) have discovered that within the cells of a rare and aggressive kidney cancer, tiny molecular “hubs” form that accelerate … Read more
(MedPage Today) — ATLANTA — A combined intervention against recurrent Staphylococcus aureus skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) that included both personal periodic decolonization and home environmental hygiene didn’t improve the rate of…
A large study led by scientists at McMaster University has found that fat stored deep inside the abdomen and liver can quietly injure arteries, even in people who seem healthy on the outside. The research, published on October 17, 2025, in Communications Medicine, questions the long-standing use of body-mass index (BMI) as a reliable indicator … Read more
(MedPage Today) — A risk model based on readily available clinical and demographic information accurately identified women at risk of heart failure (HF) or cardiomyopathy (CM) after breast cancer treatment, a large cohort study showed. Application…
A new study from MIT suggests that eating foods rich in the amino acid cysteine could help the small intestine renew and repair itself. Researchers found that cysteine can activate an immune signaling process that encourages stem cells to grow new intestinal tissue. This enhanced ability to regenerate could help the body heal damage caused … Read more
(MedPage Today) — As the nation enters respiratory virus season, mask mandate policies are all over the map. In California’s San Francisco Bay Area, county public health agencies next door to each other have adopted different mandates about masks…
Scientists at Cedars-Sinai have developed “young” immune cells from human stem cells that reversed signs of aging and Alzheimer’s disease in the brains of laboratory mice, according to findings published in Advanced Science. The breakthrough suggests these cells could eventually lead to new treatments for age-related and neurodegenerative conditions in people. Clive Svendsen, PhD, executive … Read more
(MedPage Today) — CHICAGO — A fixed-dose inhaler combining an inhaled corticosteroid, long-acting muscarinic antagonist, and long-acting beta agonist (ICS/LAMA/LABA) improved lung function and reduced exacerbations in poorly-controlled asthma…
