In a promising sign for the potential of focused sound waves to improve care for brain tumors, UVA Health researchers have determined that tumors called gliomas may be even more receptive to targeted drug delivery than normal brain tissue.

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

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

Optimization models do an excellent job of ensuring products get where they are needed in the most efficient way possible, but those models require an impractical amount of computing power when dealing with large-scale problems—such as distributing vaccines to millions of people.

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

A cost analysis of the 2025 measles outbreak in New Mexico found that the outbreak carried an estimated societal cost of $5.4 million, or more than $53,000 per case. Vaccination-related activities accounted for the largest share of the public health response, underscoring both th

Researchers at the UNC School of Medicine and UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center are zeroing in on less toxic and more targeted strategies to combat Ewing sarcoma, an aggressive and rare pediatric cancer that develops in the bones and soft tissues.

Drug-induced deaths and hospitalizations in Australia have risen, with the trend driven by increased harms from amphetamine-type stimulants and cocaine, new data show. The latest annual reporting by the National Drug and Alcohol Research Center (NDARC) at UNSW Sydney shows more t
