New research from the University of Vermont shows that menopause is not just a reproductive milestone but a critical neurological phase, with brain activity varying across stages.

A new Nature Medicine comment argues that HPV vaccination has become a core part of the global cancer agenda, even as major delivery and equity challenges remain.

A STAT opinion piece argues that the growing perimenopause conversation is being distorted by influencers, supplements, hormones and a profit-driven information market.

A new study suggests women can continue to score as cognitively normal for years longer than men despite similar Alzheimer’s-related brain pathology, potentially delaying diagnosis and treatment.

An analysis of daily temperature records from more than 750 women suggests resting body temperature climbs gradually across early and mid-adulthood, opening a possible path for wearables to track reproductive aging and健康

Analysis of temperature data from more than 750 women suggests resting body temperature increases slightly each year from ages 18 to 42, a pattern that could eventually help track reproductive aging and health.

Researchers analyzing data from more than 17,000 adults found that women carry a higher burden of some modifiable dementia risk factors and may also be more vulnerable to their cognitive effects.

New research highlighted by Medical Xpress suggests osteoporosis in postmenopausal women may be associated not only with fracture risk but also with a higher overall risk of death.

At-home vaginal microbiome tests are gaining traction among women seeking answers about pain, infections, fertility and overall wellness, even as experts question how much the results can really tell them.

Researchers report that 10 genes are linked to hyperemesis gravidarum, with one standing out as a likely main driver, offering new evidence that the severe pregnancy condition has a specific biological basis rather than

A Nature Medicine study from researchers at Aarhus University finds that the menstrual cycle systematically shifts nearly 200 blood proteins, pointing to wider effects on immunity and disease biology than previously seen

A Nature Medicine resource tracked nearly 3,000 plasma proteins in 2,760 women and found broad molecular shifts across the menstrual cycle, including signals tied to reproductive disorders and a 75-protein score that can

Researchers argue that endometriosis should be understood as a condition that drives immune disruption across the body, widening the frame beyond lesions in the pelvis alone.

Twenty years ago, Professor Joanna Wakefield-Scurr experienced persistent breast pain that her doctor could not diagnose. That frustrating experience launched a career that would create an entirely new field of research, one that now employs an 18-person team and has transformed how the sports apparel industry designs bras.
