| |  YCT-529, a novel non-hormonal male contraceptive, demonstrates safety and tolerability in early trials, offering a potential solution for male birth control. | |
|
| |  A new study in The Journal of Sexual Medicine found that participating in “No Nut November”, a month-long abstinence challenge, had no measurable effect on sexual well-being. The only significant difference was that participants reported higher sexual flexibility, likely reflecting a pre-existing trait. | |
|
| |  The global diabetes epidemic continues its relentless march, with projections suggesting 750 million sufferers by 2045. While current medications help control symptoms, they often come with undesirable side effects and don't address the root causes of metabolic dysfunction. The search for better solutions has turned scientists toward natural drugs, where traditional remedies may hold untapped potential. | |
|
| |  A potential target for experimental drugs that block PRMT5 - a naturally occurring enzyme some tumors rely more on for survival - has been identified by researchers with the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute's Cancer Research Center in Washington, D.C. | |
|
| |  Cancer cells and tumors do not exist in a vacuum. Far from the isolation and self-sufficiency of the fictional Wakanda, tumors develop in and alter the nearby milieu of immune cells, connective tissue, blood vessels and a sea of proteins and carbohydrates that provide structure and other supportive functions. | |
|
| |  Did you know that patients with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) often struggle to forget traumatic memories, even long after the danger has passed? This failure to extinguish fear memories has long puzzled scientists and posed a major hurdle for treatment, especially since current medications targeting serotonin receptors offer limited relief for only a subset of patients. | |
|
| |  Salk Institute Professor Diana Hargreaves was named a 2025 All-Star Translational Award Program grantee by the V Foundation for Cancer Research. | |
|
| |  In the same vein as weather forecast models that predict developing storms, researchers now have developed a method to predict the cell activity in tissues over time. | |
|
| |  L-theanine, an amino acid found in green tea, may help reduce stress, improve sleep quality, and support cognitive performance in healthy adults. Evidence from clinical studies shows it is safe and well-tolerated, but further research is needed to confirm its benefits for anxiety disorders. | |
|
| |  Many self-tests available on the UK high street are unfit-for-purpose and need much greater regulation to ensure they are safe and reliable, conclude two studies published by The BMJ today. | |
|
| |  New research from scientists at the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine reveals that certain gut microbial byproducts may hold promise as a novel therapy for obesity-associated metabolic complications by restoring critical hormone-producing cells in the intestine. | |
|
| |  High levels of a hormone found in cells in the gut could underlie many cases of chronic diarrhea and help explain up to 40% of cases of patients with irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea, according to a new study led by scientists at the University of Cambridge. | |
