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

Patients referred to social prescribing are more likely to seek health care in the short term but could end up needing their primary care physician less often within a year, according to a new study by University of Manchester researchers published in eClinicalMedicine.

A sweeping review of more than 350 studies suggests that the protein boom may be overselling what many people actually need. Eating less protein appears to improve metabolism, reduce inflammation and cellular damage, and activate pathways linked to healthier aging and longer life

Scientists have figured out how two famously poisonous plants create chemicals with surprising medical potential. After tracking thousands of genes in wolfsbane and larkspur, they identified six enzymes needed to build a complex compound called atisinium. The team recreated the p

A traditional Japanese medicine used for obesity may do more than support weight loss. Researchers at the University of Osaka, working with Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., investigated whether Bofutsushosan could protect aging tissues from fibrosis—the excessive buildup of sc

Tiny pollution particles from smoke, soot, and dust may worsen rheumatoid arthritis and raise the risk of painful flares, particularly after prolonged exposure. The findings suggest that avoiding poor air quality could become an important part of managing the disease.

A long-term brain study found that common risks such as smoking, high blood pressure, heart disease, and high blood lipids were strongly linked to damage associated with vascular dementia. The findings suggest that healthier lifestyle choices could help delay dementia by reducing

A prescription form of THC helped many people with PTSD escape recurring trauma-related nightmares, with more than one-third reporting that the nightmares disappeared completely after ten weeks. The results could point toward a long-awaited treatment for one of PTSD’s most distre

An international team of researchers has developed an innovative strategy for producing new vaccines. They created a genetically modified version of the chikungunya virus that replicates only once yet still trains the immune system to defend itself without causing disease. In tes

Animal bones preserved in South Australia’s underwater caves reveal distinctive clues shaped by darkness, algae, bacteria, and other environmental conditions. The findings give scientists a powerful new way to reconstruct how ancient megafauna remains entered and survived in subm

Psychedelic drugs are best known for altering perception and producing vivid hallucinations, but scientists are increasingly interested in what else they might do. A growing body of research suggests that these mind-altering substances could hold real promise as treatments for me

The encouraging results of the world's first trial of a fridge-free tetanus-diphtheria vaccine could improve access worldwide to crucial treatments while reducing carbon emissions. Fridge-free vaccines have the potential to transform vaccine delivery by reducing dependence on ref
