Study shows that disruptions in the gut microbiota of male mice can negatively affect offspring health, leading to growth issues and increased mortality. However, restoring the father's microbiota before conception may prevent these problems.

A study in the journal Nutrients explored the perceptions of healthy eating among Spanish undergraduate students in nutrition and food science programs, revealing differences by gender and academic year.

Some neurological disorders can be improved through photobiomodulation, a non-invasive technique based on the application of low-intensity light to stimulate altered functions in specific regions of the body.

A recent study in the Journal of the American Heart Association reveals that provoked anger, but not sadness or anxiety, acutely impairs endothelial function, shedding light on the link between anger and cardiovascular events.

Discovered in the 1970s, circadian clocks are essential for the regulation of biological time in most cells in the human body.

Blood vessels in the lungs aren't like the others in the body. This difference becomes clear in pulmonary hypertension, in which only the lungs' blood vessels stiffen progressively, leading to chronic lung disease, heart failure and death.

A recent study explores how adolescents perceive and consume ultra-processed foods during screen time, revealing the strong influence of social, environmental, and psychological factors on these behaviors.

A recent study in Nutrients links flavonoid intake to improved cognitive function, though findings indicate further research is needed to understand its impact across diverse populations.

The Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine is now accepting applicants for an observational trial focused on fertilized anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

The gut microbiota is the microbial community that occupies the gastrointestinal tract. It is responsible for producing enzymes, metabolites, and other molecules crucial for host metabolism and in response to the environment.

Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have identified an innovation in stem cell therapy to regenerate neural cells in the brain after cardiac arrest in an animal model.

During the past 40 years, the gap between rich and poor Americans has continued to widen in terms of health and mortality, as well as income.

Duke researchers have opened a new avenue in the attack against influenza viruses by creating a vaccine that encourages the immune system to target a portion of the virus surface that is less variable.

The health benefits of exercise are well known but new research shows that the body's response to exercise is more complex and far-reaching than previously thought.

During sleep, the brain weakens the new connections between neurons that had been forged while awake – but only during the first half of a night's sleep, according to a new study in fish by UCL scientists.

Protein imbalances that increase brain cell excitability may explain why individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) who also experience seizures demonstrate more rapid cognitive decline than those who do not experience seizures.

A University of Queensland researcher has found molecular doorways that could be used to help deliver drugs into the brain to treat neurological disorders.

The brain can direct the immune system to an unexpected degree, capable of detecting, ramping up and tamping down inflammation, shows a new study in mice from researchers at Columbia's Zuckerman Institute.

Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have identified a causal genetic variant strongly associated with childhood obesity.

Three-quarters of Americans feel mental health conditions are identified and treated much worse than physical health issues within the U.S. healthcare system, even as more than 80% perceive a dramatic rise in prevalence of mental health issues in the last five years, according to a new survey from West Health and Gallup released at the start of Mental Health Awareness Month and Older Americans Month.
