Type 2 diabetes is associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Many people with type 2 diabetes are prescribed blood sugar-lowering medication to reduce this risk. However, not everyone takes their medication consistently, and that inconsistency could leave them more expo

New research from Keele University and the University of Aberdeen has found that men with cardiovascular disease are at higher risk of cancer and death from cancer than women. The study found this pattern across all cancer subtypes, with lung cancer and colorectal cancers account

Parkinson's disease affects more than 10 million people worldwide. The disease is characterized by the buildup of abnormal clumps of the protein alpha-synuclein inside brain cells, but scientists have long struggled to understand exactly how these toxic forms of the protein cause

Scientists have identified a molecular switch that may help explain why aging makes the brain more vulnerable to diseases such as ALS and Huntington’s. In worms, the protein EPS8 builds up with age and triggers signaling that encourages toxic proteins to clump together, damaging

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by eosinophilia, an abnormal increase in eosinophils—a type of white blood cell—and inflammation of small blood vessels across multiple organs, which can lead to organ damage. Th

People in rural communities have long experienced disproportionate levels of chronic disease, driven in part by systemic barriers to physical activity. A new study from North Carolina State University highlights ways some rural communities use strategic investments and community

In a longitudinal study conducted at Vanderbilt Health, including investigators from the Vanderbilt Memory and Alzheimer's Center (VMAC), researchers found that lower cardiac output is associated with accelerated cerebral atrophy among older adults who carry the APOE-e4 allele, a

Congenital heart disease affects approximately two in every 100 newborns globally. But why does it occur? An important part of the answer may lie in a previously unknown mechanism on the surface of our cells. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen identified this mechanism

The need for more effective lung cancer treatments is paramount, as the disease remains a leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. New findings by a research team from the Stony Brook Cancer Center highlight a novel therapeutic shown to be highly effective in reducing

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) face a significantly higher risk of psychiatric disorders starting two to three years before diagnosis and lasting up to a decade afterward, according to a nationwide study published in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology.

In the event of a pandemic, every society is confronted with the question: How can the spread of an infectious disease be effectively contained without restricting daily life more than necessary? Measures such as mandatory mask wearing or contact restrictions can reduce the sprea
