First in a human: gene therapy fixed a one-letter DNA typo inside one patient's liver to treat alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, an inherited disease that damages the liver and lungs

Beehives have a built-in colony-wide immune system, with multiple layers of defense that help protect thousands of bees from pathogens and disease

Electrocutions, disease and no pay: worker exploitation in Europe's datacentres

A scientific review of laboratory, animal and clinical studies found e-cigarette aerosols can disrupt oral cells, weaken protective barriers and alter saliva and oral bacteria, potentially contributing to gum disease, infections and damage to teeth and dental restorations.

Alzheimer's disease may begin in the nose and may be caused by aluminosilicates

Scientists Develop a Molecule That Blocks a Key Alzheimer’s Disease Mechanism, Then Discover the Compound’s Target Is Linked to a Naturally Occurring Molecule Already Present in Human Blood…

Study of 189 colorectal tumors reveals biological differences in younger patients that may help explain more aggressive disease

Water May Play a Hidden Role in the Spread of Alzheimer’s Disease

The technology to eradicate mosquito-borne disease exists

AI scans of 100,000+ people found those with 'brown fat' had less diabetes, heart disease, anxiety and depression

A new study has characterised the “average” human genome, providing key information on normal human genetic variation and genetic disease risk...

A plastic once thought harmless may be fueling fatty liver disease

New tests using blurry pictures and hidden numbers have revealed visual processing difficulties in some people with Parkinson’s disease before they report wider problems with thinking…

A new study found HSV-1, the virus that causes cold sores, can reprogram the brain’s immune cells, potentially linking viral infection to chronic inflammation and increased vulnerability to Alzheimer’s disease.

New research shows that the gut bacterial metabolite imidazole propionate is strongly linked to accelerated cognitive decline and an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease by promoting brain inflammation…

Warmer oceans and increasing disease put coral reefs at risk

Mice With Parkinson’s-Like Brain Damage Unexpectedly Recovered a Year Later, Raising New Questions About Whether the Brain Can Reverse Some Effects of Neurodegenerative Disease

Type 2 immune history trains lung macrophages for viral disease tolerance

'Neither war nor peace': Palestinians in Gaza on existing amid disease despair

A UK modelling study estimated that reducing red and processed meat consumption by 35–50% and replacing it with vegetables and legumes could increase life expectancy by 7–9 months and prevent 3.4–4.5 million chronic disease cases over 30 years, with most benefits linked to cardiovascular health.

A new cancer immunotherapy drug showed promising results in an early-stage clinical trial, controlling disease in nearly 60% of patients with advanced tumors that had resisted previous treatments.

Clinical trial of a prion disease drug candidate begins enrolling participants

Mental disorders are the leading cause of disease burden in Asia Pacific adolescents, and overweight and obesity rose in every one of 44 countries between 2000 and 2023

Aging dogs may provide a better model for research into Alzheimer's disease than mice, as researchers found dog brains (n=24) with canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome show similar plaque build-ups as in humans and were correlated with high-levels of one biomarker in the dogs' blood

A new study finds that limiting added sugar exposure during the first 1,000 days of life (from conception to age two) is associated with a lower risk and delayed onset of dementia and Alzheimer's disease…

Evaluation of 9 step detection methods for longitudinal gait assessment supports moving from occasional clinic visits to more frequent at-home assessment in Parkinson's disease drug development trials

New research reveals how a protein linked to Alzheimer’s risk can alter the way the brain’s immune cells process fat and trigger inflammatory responses, offering a possible explanation for how the strongest genetic risk factor for the disease affects the brain.

A natural protein that's up to 2,000 times sweeter than sugar from a West African fruit cut blood sugar spikes from ice cream by about half in a trial of 101 adults with fatty liver disease, with even bigger drops in people with type 2 diabetes and no serious side effects were reported in the study.
