In the event of a pandemic, every society is confronted with the question: How can the spread of an infectious disease be effectively contained without restricting daily life more than necessary? Measures such as mandatory mask wearing or contact restrictions can reduce the sprea

A long-term brain study found that common risks such as smoking, high blood pressure, heart disease, and high blood lipids were strongly linked to damage associated with vascular dementia. The findings suggest that healthier lifestyle choices could help delay dementia by reducing

Tiny pollution particles from smoke, soot, and dust may worsen rheumatoid arthritis and raise the risk of painful flares, particularly after prolonged exposure. The findings suggest that avoiding poor air quality could become an important part of managing the disease.

An international team of researchers has developed an innovative strategy for producing new vaccines. They created a genetically modified version of the chikungunya virus that replicates only once yet still trains the immune system to defend itself without causing disease. In tes

Beginning around age 50, the brain’s memory center appears to lose many of its longtime immune cells and replace them with more inflammatory ones. This surprising shift may help explain how normal aging sets the stage for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Snakebites aren't random but are predictably correlated with a variety of environmental and socioeconomic factors, according to a study published Aug. 6, 2026, in the journal PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases by Jaideep Menon of Amrita University, India, and colleagues.

A massive analysis of immune cells in human tissue is yielding clues to the root causes of lung and autoimmune diseases.

Many people with less common forms of Alzheimer's disease may not qualify for newer anti-amyloid treatments designed to slow the disease, according to a study published Aug. 5, 2026, in Neurology.

Researchers have developed an implant that could deliver next-generation therapies for ovarian cancer precisely where they are needed while simultaneously monitoring how the disease responds.

A disease surveillance strategy modeled on the body's immune system detected more disease-carrying insects than the traditional top-down approach, according to a study led by researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and the Universidad Pe

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, painful joint disease and a leading cause of disability. Despite its prevalence, therapies for osteoarthritis are limited and focus on symptom management. Now, researchers are combining genetic studies of Utah families with AI-based molecular bio

Approximately 68,000 women in Germany are living with breast cancer that has metastasized—meaning that the tumor has spread to other organs. At this stage, the cancer is no longer curable. With the help of modern therapies, however, the disease can be temporarily controlled and l
