Gastric bypass is the most clinically and cost effective form of interventional surgery for people living with severe obesity, reveals landmark research. The new University of Bristol-led trial, funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), is published today [31 March] in the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology journal.
Most patients with Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementias (ADRD) experience the gradual onset and progression of cognitive symptoms, leading to decline over years or decades. However, in a small subset of patients, symptoms begin rapidly, leading to dementia within one year and complete incapacitation within two years of symptom onset.
A newly developed blood test for Alzheimerās disease not only aids in the diagnosis of the neurodegenerative condition but also indicates how far it has progressed, according to a study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Lund University in Sweden.
A new 3D printed customizable hydrogel performed well in preclinical trials with several different types of meniscal tears
A study led by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers could advance the development of new drugs that block or open such signaling channels to treat conditions as varied as epilepsy and some intellectual disorders.
As more people receive genetic testing after a cancer diagnosis, newer variants have been identified that increase risk of developing cancer. A new study led by the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center finds that patients with three of these variants face no extra risk of dying from their cancer.
U-M researchers, in collaboration with Arcascope, have developed and tested a personalized app that tracks a userās circadian rhythm and makes behavioral recommendations to reduce daily fatigue.
COVID infection has been linked to higher risk of autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes. Scientists used advanced data analysis and machine learning to identify viral proteins that are more likely to trigger autoimmunity.
Stroke survivors who have attended some level of higher education may face even steeper mental declines, according to a study led by Michigan Medicine. The findings suggest that attending higher education may enable people to retain greater cognitive ability until a critical threshold of brain injury is reached after a stroke.
"Our ultimate goal is to develop vaccines against these very difficult viruses. Understanding how these viruses manipulate the immune response can help guide the development of the best vaccine approach."
Researchers have determined that six gas valves provide the best protection against plasma disruptions in SPARC, a next-generation, experimental fusion system.

PHILADELPHIA (March 24, 2025) ā A new Penn Nursing study reveals that expectant and new fathers, particularly Black American fathers, express a significant need for more resources and support to better assist mothers during pregnancy and childbirth. The research, published in BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, highlights a gap in tailored information and resources for fathers within healthcare and social service systems.
A RIPE team from the University of Illinois has determined that improving a crucial component of soybean photosynthesis is unlikely to come from traditional breeding methods, and that gene editing could be the key to unlocking soybean potential. Their work was published in The Plant Journal
Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have shed new light on how bacteria protect themselves from certain phage invaders ā by seizing genetic material from weakened, dormant phages and using it to āvaccinateā themselves to elicit an immune response.
In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose ā a major constituent of all plant cell walls ā a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers has captured images of the microscopic process of cell-wall building continuously over 24 hours with living plant cells, providing critical insights that may lead to the development of more robust plants for increased food and lower-cost biofuels production.
Wistar Institute scientists and collaborators describe a next-generation vaccination technology that combines plasmid DNA with a lipid nanoparticle delivery system.
Aging compromises the lymphatic vessels surrounding the brain, disabling waste drainage from the brain and impacting cognitive function. Researchers at WashU Medicine boosted lymphatic vessel integrity in old mice and found improvements in their memory compared with old mice without rejuvenated lymphatic vessels.
Tiny nematodes, commonly known as vinegar eelworms, can move objects with a force hundreds of times their own weight.
New research from UChicago upends traditional views on how synaptic plasticity supports memory and learning.
Researchers at UC San Diego have confirmed the presence of xylazine in the illicit drug supply at the U.S.-Mexico border. While xylazine remains less common in the Western U.S., border cities serve as key trafficking hubs and may have higher rates of emerging substances.
