A new survey of people in Utah’s medical cannabis program reveals why some patients turn to unregulated cannabis for treatment, providing a first step toward reducing barriers to safer, legal...
Drugs currently in clinical trials for other conditions could help reduce risk of heart attack and stroke for IBD patients. "This could be lifesaving," senior author says.
The guidelines include a number of significant changes from a previous iteration, including improved methods for risk prediction and tailored treatment recommendations.
Ozempic can cause loss of "lean mass", raising concerns that the drug lowers muscle mass and strength. New research in mice suggests that muscle mass changes less than expected, but...
Powered by genetics, researchers are finding the roots of diseases, pioneering strategies to bring the best care to every patient, and uncovering fundamental facets of human biology.
Animals that hibernate are incredibly resilient. Now, new genetic research suggests that hibernators' metabolic flexibility could lie hidden in our own DNA—and provides clues on how to unlock it.
Researchers have linked particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH)—bleeding within the brain caused by a ruptured aneurysm. Although rare, when severe, these hemorrhagic strokes can damage...
The Utah MRI Research Center (UMRC) Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences has completed the installation of Utah's first Siemens Free.Max—an MRI scanner that operates at a field strength of...
Since its beginnings, University of Utah Health has fostered some of the best minds in research. We created genome analysis technologies and now apply them to rapidly diagnose disease in...
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...
Highlighting investigators and their pioneering research programs, the Vitae program seeds new collaborations and development strategies by humanizing research through story.
Cell biologist Bruce Edgar, recognized for his research on cell growth and proliferation, was elected to the prestigious National Academy of Sciences for his pioneering work and contributions to science.
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...
