Scientists are exploring fresh markers in the body that could help spot problems linked to how we live. These new tools look at tiny molecules and signals in blood, sweat or even breath that change when we eat poorly, sit too long or smoke. By catching these clues early, doctors might offer advice t
Researchers have discovered a new biological marker that could change how schizophrenia is treated. The marker is a protein named CACNA2D1 found in the fluid around the brain. People with schizophrenia have lower levels of this protein, which may make their brain signals overactive and cause thinkin
Scientists studied how a common steroid, prednisolone, affects bone health in young rats. They looked at three blood markers that show how fast bones build and break down: a protein from new bone, another marker of bone strength, and one that signals bone loss. The team also checked the bones with d
Scientists have created tiny DNA loops that turn on only when they meet cancer cells. These loops, called minicircles, are built with a special design that keeps them stable and lets them stay in the body for a long time. When cancer is present, the loops become active and release signals that can b
Type 2 diabetes is a complex condition. It's not just about sugar levels. Blood pressure and insulin resistance play big roles too. Scientists are looking at new ways to understand these connections. Insulin resistance is a key issue. It's when the body doesn't respond well to insulin. This can lea
Researchers in Sweden are looking into whether blood tests can help predict pregnancy complications, specifically preeclampsia, which is a type of high blood pressure during pregnancy. They are focusing on a specific time frame, between 24 and 29 weeks of pregnancy. The goal is to find out if certai
Lipedema is a puzzling condition. It mostly affects women. It causes fat to build up in a certain way. This fat is often painful and hard to get rid of. Doctors and scientists are still trying to figure out why this happens. Recent studies have looked at how genes and metabolism are involved. They
Omar Cooper Jr. , a star football player from Indianapolis, is making waves in college sports. His incredible toe-tap touchdown against Penn State in 2025 is still talked about as one of the best plays of the season. But his story goes beyond just that one moment. He comes from a family where sports
People with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) often show small changes in behavior before major symptoms appear. These changes can include sleep problems, less time spent outside, and different internet habits. Spotting these shifts early can help doctors act faster and slow down the
In the southeast of Spain, scientists dug deep to learn about the area's history. They studied a 14-meter-long sample of sediment from a place called San Juan de los Terreros. This sample held secrets from the last 7, 800 years. The team used different methods to analyze the sample. They looked at
