Researchers discovered that venom toxins from African spitting cobras cause severe dermonecrosis, highlighting the need for targeted treatments like the repurposed drug varespladib.

A team led by the Duke Human Vaccine Institute (DHVI) has developed a vaccine approach that works like a GPS, guiding the immune system through the specific steps to make broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV.

Discrimination may speed up the biological processes of aging, according to a new study led by researchers at the NYU School of Global Public Health.

Most people with early-stage glaucoma don't know they have it, even though early treatment is key to reducing vision loss.

Researchers found links between higher prenatal exposure to bisphenols and high-molecular-weight phthalates with increased child weight and BMI from birth to age four in a New York cohort study.

A defining development of the 20th century that changed the course of public health was when governments around the world improved access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene.

The highest performing countries across public health outcomes share many drivers that contribute to their success.

A cubic millimeter of brain tissue may not sound like much. But considering that tiny square contains 57,000 cells, 230 millimeters of blood vessels, and 150 million synapses, all amounting to 1,400 terabytes of data, Harvard and Google researchers have just accomplished something enormous.

Areas at risk for malaria transmission in Africa may decline more than previously expected because of climate change in the 21st century, suggests an ensemble of environmental and hydrologic models.

Investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have pinpointed a combination immunotherapy treatment that enhances the immune response for people with malignant gliomas, an aggressive type of brain tumor that is fast growing and difficult to treat.

Experts in mycobacterial diseases at National Jewish Health, in collaboration with local health departments and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), are investigating a potential outbreak of a highly drug-resistant mycobacterium (germ) after U.S. patients who traveled to Mexico for stem cell injections became sick.

Modified ketogenic diet modulates gut microbiome, inflammatory markers, and brain-related miRNAs in autistic children, correlating with improved behavioral symptoms. The diet increases beneficial gut bacteria and reduces inflammatory cytokines and BDNF levels.

Digital twin model simulates real-life alcohol consumption patterns and links them to long-term biomarkers, aiding eHealth strategies to curb dangerous drinking habits. The model captures complex physiological interactions between food, beverages, and alcohol metabolism.

Alcohol exposure leads to accumulation of oxidatively damaged proteins in neuronal cells. Differentiated cells are more susceptible to alcohol-induced oxidative protein damage despite higher resistance to cytotoxicity.

Just a few days on a night shift schedule throws off protein rhythms related to blood glucose regulation, energy metabolism and inflammation, processes that can influence the development of chronic metabolic conditions.

The study of a novel oral vaccine that could protect against chlamydia infection has been awarded approximately $11 million in National Institutes of Health funding over five years through a cooperative agreements research project grant, known as a U01 grant.

The developments in ensemble deep learning (EDL) models used to characterize and estimate AD.

A recent study in JAMA Pediatrics explored the utility of relaxation therapy in increasing milk production in human mothers.

A recent study investigated whether sedentary time (ST), light-intensity physical activity (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) during childhood and young adulthood influence cardiac structure and function.
