A new study from Michigan State University found increases in binge eating when taking hormone pills in the form of oral contraceptives — but not in all women. This is the first large-scale study of changes in binge-related symptoms with oral contraceptive use.
Researchers from the University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center have discovered a key metabolic pathway that allows colorectal cancer cells to accumulate large quantities of iron. Blocking that pathway reduced iron levels and caused the cancer cells to die.
The University of Louisville, UofL Health and Kosair for Kids today celebrated the grand opening and ribbon cutting of the newly expanded Kosair for Kids Center for Pediatric NeuroRecovery, a transformative milestone in pediatric rehabilitation, research and care. The 13,631-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility brings clinical care, therapy and research together in one space, creating a first-of-its-kind environment designed to accelerate recovery and expand access for children with spinal cord injuries and other neurological conditions.
A research paper by scientists from Beijing Institute of Technology proposed a maxillofacial tumor treatment system termed RAMRS, comprising 2 modules: robot-assisted osteotomy and augmented reality-guided reconstruction (ARR).
The new research paper, published on May. 22 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, developed RAMRS – a robot‑assisted and augmented reality‑guided maxillofacial reconstruction system.
Women who lift weights may have a lower risk of major heart disease, especially when combined with aerobic exercise, according to a new study published today in JACC, the flagship journal of the American College of Cardiology. Findings show that heart health is better understood by looking at overall movement habits, rather than focusing on single behaviors alone, and resistance training can result in additional health benefits when incorporated into an active lifestyle.
A research paper by scientists at Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a dual-mode wireless microsystem that enables simultaneous recording of spikes, local field potentials (LFPs), and dopamine (DA)-related electrochemical signals on microelectrode arrays.
The research paper, published on May 21, 2026 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems.
New paper argues current exercise and protein guidelines aim too low for healthy ageing.
