A recent study in eClinicalMedicine links tattoo ink exposure to a 21% higher risk of malignant lymphoma, particularly B-cell subtypes. Tattoo ink and laser removal may play significant roles in lymphoma development.

A recent study in Nature Medicine shows semaglutide reduces kidney risks in non-diabetic obese patients with cardiovascular disease by 22%. The SELECT trial results highlight semaglutide's benefits for kidney function and overall cardiovascular health.

A recent study in npj Digital Medicine found that both "weekend warrior" and regular exercise patterns significantly reduce Parkinson's disease (PD) risk. The findings suggest exercise duration is more critical than frequency in mitigating PD risk.

A recent review in the journal Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews presents a multidimensional model of loneliness, exploring its impact on social interactions, the oxytocin system, and illness. The study emphasizes the need for multidisciplinary collaboration to understand and address loneliness effectively.

The Wistar Institute's Paul M. Lieberman, Ph.D., and lab team led by senior staff scientist and first author, Samantha Soldan, Ph.D., have demonstrated how B cells infected with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can contribute to a pathogenic, inflammatory phenotype that contributes to multiple sclerosis (MS); the group has also shown how these problematic B cells can be selectively targeted in a way that reduces the damaging autoimmune response of multiple sclerosis.

An inexpensive, accurate test that detects infections with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii can provide results within 30 minutes from a finger-prick in a doctor's office or within an hour from a small blood sample tested in a local medical laboratory.

A multidisciplinary research team at the University of California, Irvine has revealed that the circadian clock – the biological pacemaker that governs daily rhythms in physiological processes, including immune functions – can be leveraged to enhance the efficacy of checkpoint inhibitor cancer therapy.

A University of Saskatchewan (USask) research team's discovery of the additional health benefits of an appetite-suppressing protein has doubled the potential for scientists to find new avenues for treating obesity and metabolic disorders in animals and people.

People who regularly eat fish or take fish oil supplements are getting omega-3 fatty acids, which play a critical role in brain function.

A team of cancer researchers, led by the University of Houston, has discovered a new subset of T cells that may improve the outcome for patients treated with T-cell therapies.

A baby's exposure to air pollution while in the womb is associated with the development of certain mental health problems once the infant reaches adolescence, new research has found.

The nucleus accumbens plays a pivotal role in motivational behavior and sleep regulation, modulated by adenosine A2A receptors (A2AR).

Regular high caffeine consumption affects dopamine function in patients with Parkinson's disease, shows a new international study led by the University of Turku and Turku University Hospital in Finland.

Binge-eating disorder is the most prevalent eating disorder in the United States, but previous studies have presented conflicting views of the disorder's duration and the likelihood of relapse.

The combined effects of yoga and the Mediterranean diet (MD) on various health outcomes in community-dwelling older adults.

Cancer poses significant challenges due to the development of resistance and the likelihood of relapse. Resistance may arise from permanent genetic changes in cancer cells or non-genetic alterations in cancer cell behavior induced by treatment.

People with disabilities account for 13% of all pregnancies in Ontario, but a new report shows that this population was more likely to experience pregnancy complications such as emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and preterm birth.
