A significant gap exists in how the scientific community approaches one of neurology's most pressing challenges. Despite aging being the predominant risk factor for Parkinson's disease, the vast ma...

Traumatic brain injury affects an average of 110 people every day in New Zealand, yet persistent myths about its causes and victims continue to shape public perception. New research debunks five common misconceptions, revealing that falls — not sports or vehicle accidents — are the leading cause.

Maryland has reported 26 mumps cases in the first two months of 2026, compared to just four cases for all of 2025. Most infections are concentrated in the Baltimore metropolitan area, and the majority of affected individuals had been vaccinated.

Researchers at Örebro University have identified anti-integrin αvβ6 antibodies in blood samples that can flag individuals at risk of developing ulcerative colitis long before any symptoms manifest. The discovery could enable earlier interventions and potentially delay the onset of this debilitating inflammatory bowel disease.

A newly identified ion channel called TRPV4 acts as the brain's internal braking system for scratching, sending a 'that's enough' signal through sensory neurons. The finding could reshape how researchers develop treatments for chronic itch conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

The U.S. health care industry's $5.3 trillion footprint is now so large it has become the primary driver preventing workforce contraction. Meanwhile, the biosimilar competition reshaping the Humira market reveals unexpected dynamics as Skyrizi emerges as a dominant force in immunology.

The CDC has had a Senate-confirmed director for just 28 days during the current administration, even as Congress passes its first bipartisan health care legislation in over three years. A look at the leadership vacuum, policy progress, and regulatory flashpoints shaping Washington health policy.

University of Minnesota researchers have documented the first case of a Legionnaires' disease outbreak being halted through disinfection of previously untreated groundwater, raising urgent questions about disease risk in the many U.S. communities that rely on undisinfected water supplies.

With one in eight American adults now taking GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, researchers at Georgia State University have uncovered why patients regain weight after stopping treatment — and a potential combination therapy that could solve the problem by targeting the brain's stress response system.

Researchers from the University of Southern Denmark and Bern University Hospital found no evidence that the rat brain produces or stores DMT in serotonin-releasing neurons, undermining a decades-old hypothesis about the psychedelic compound's natural role in brain chemistry.

A comprehensive review of over 80 peer-reviewed studies finds that contracting out health care can improve access in remote areas, but only when governments maintain strong oversight and communities have a real say in how services are run.

The viral trend of showering with the lights off has genuine science behind it. Research shows bathroom lighting can suppress melatonin by 70%, while warm water in darkness creates ideal conditions for falling asleep faster.

With over 600 million people affected globally, osteoarthritis is increasingly diagnosed in younger, active individuals. Researchers are developing blood-based infrared spectroscopy tests to catch it before joint damage begins.
