Historical policies shaping educational attainment have enduring benefits for later life memory and risk of dementia, according to a study led by a Rutgers Health researcher.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a complex and long-term illness characterized by extreme fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest, and can worsen with physical activity.

Weight-loss and diabetes drug tirzepatide can reduce the risk of death or worsening heart failure for patients with heart failure, preserved heart pump function and obesity, new research from UVA Health reveals.

A spoonful of sugar might actually help the medicine go down, according to recent research from the University of Mississippi. And it could reduce the harmful side effects of cancer treatment.

According to a new study from researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto, being born preterm is associated with an increased risk of death from birth until the third and fourth decades of life.

A new study from researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center finds that, in healthy women, some breast cells that otherwise appear normal may contain chromosome abnormalities typically associated with invasive breast cancer.

Researchers at Duke University School of Medicine have found that tapping into the nervous system could help reduce the gut inflammation that drives inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

As populations age, the prevalence of sarcopenia-;a progressive loss of muscle mass and function-;has become an increasingly urgent public health concern.
