Twenty-five years into their diabetes and youth research, Professor of Epidemiology Angela Liese and her team are increasing our understanding of this uniquely vulnerable population. The team’s recent findings show that youth and young adults who have diabetes and experience food insecurity have higher rates of mental health symptoms, including disordered eating. Source link
Artificial intelligence (AI) based ECG interpretation outperformed standard routes for detecting occlusive myocardial infarction (MI), according to a study presented at ESC Acute Cardiovascular Care 2026, the annual congress of the Association for Acute Cardiovascular Care (ACVC), a branch of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).

Researchers at the Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) have developed an innovative virtual reality (VR) system that could make the treatment of arachnophobia, also known as spider phobia, more targeted and personalized in the future. This work has been published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience. Source link
A research team affiliated with UNIST has made an important discovery that explains why liver cancers associated with obesity and metabolic disorders are more aggressive and less responsive to conventional treatments. Study shows that a specific signaling pathway involving endotrophin—a protein secreted during liver fibrosis—and the receptor protein CD44 promotes tumor malignancy and drug resistance….
Amyloid beta and tau proteins compete for the same binding sites on microtubules in neurons, suggesting that displacement of tau by amyloid beta, rather than aggregation of either protein, may be the primary driver of Alzheimer’s disease pathology. Source link
A new study published in The Lancet Microbe reports that the first twice-yearly injectable HIV treatment regimen – the combination of lencapavir, teropavimab and zinlirivimab – achieved high rates of viral suppression and demonstrated a favorable safety profile at 26 weeks. Led by Joe Aron, MD, a researcher at the UNC Institute for Global Health…

In recent years, berberine has increasingly come into the public sphere as a “natural way” to improve metabolism. In social media, it is sometimes compared to incretin drugs and even called “plant-based Ozempic”. Such comparisons suggest a simple mechanism of action and predictable effects. Source link
A research team from the Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacy at the LKS Faculty of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) has developed an innovative AI-based cardiovascular risk prediction tool called CardiomicScore. With a single blood test, the system can accurately predict future risk of six major cardiovascular diseases (CVD): coronary artery disease, stroke,…
