New research shows that weight stigma—and not weight itself—has the biggest impact on mental health and healthy behaviors in the years after weight-loss surgery.
For the first time, researchers have created fruit flies that can become addicted to cocaine. The new model could prove valuable for the development of therapies to prevent and treat...
Trained and genetic differences could help the women survive the intense physiological stresses of free-diving—and could ultimately lead to better treatments for blood pressure disorders.
Disease modeling research suggests that for some cholera outbreaks, prescribing antibiotics more aggressively could slow or stop the spread of the disease and even reduce the likelihood of antibiotic resistance.
A team of researchers has used advanced DNA sequencing to develop the most comprehensive atlas yet of genetic change through generations, laying the foundations for new insights into the roots...
Research in the Sundquist lab laid the foundations for the development of lenacapavir, a drug that prevents HIV infection with 99.9% to 100% efficacy and could dramatically lower infection rates...
During this time of uncertainty, leadership is actively advocating for research and planning strategically for the future. We have developed guidelines and a worksheet to help researchers who have received...
Research has found that C. difficile, one of the most contagious hospital-acquired infections, spreads more than three times more than previously thought, moving covertly from surface to surface.
The results could ultimately help doctors reduce the risk of type 1 diabetes—or potentially even restore pancreas function in adulthood—by providing gut microbes that help the pancreas grow and heal.
Researchers, doctors, and community members came together to improve understanding of the full health, social, and even environmental impacts of these medications.
A combination of human genetic analysis and research in flies identified the protective gene, which could ultimately lead to better therapies for people with the seizure disorder.
