Exposure to a chemical commonly used to make plastic more flexible may have contributed to about 1.97 million preterm births in 2018 alone, or more than 8 percent of the world’s total, a new analysis of population surveys shows. The chemical was also linked to the deaths of 74,000 newborns, the researchers further estimate.
After decades of progress, longevity science may be facing a paradox: more knowledge, but limited impact. Some researchers now suggest the field may have failed not because of insufficient data, but because of flawed strategy.
Researchers from the University of Missouri School of Medicine may have found a way to identify the patients at risk of recurrence for follicular lymphoma cancer without the need for imaging and surveillance testing by screening patients for several diffferent biomarkers.
For the first time in Arizona, and only the second time in the U.S., HonorHealth Research Institute treated a patient with a new type of lumbar spine disc repair that provides immediate relief of pain and maintains the patient’s full range of motion.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine have identified a possible way to make longer lasting vaccines for respiratory viruses like influenza and the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. The work, published March 25 in in the journal Cell Reports, focuses on T cells, a type of immune cell that helps control infections by killing virus-infected cells. Unlike antibodies — the basis of most current vaccines, which can lose effectiveness as viruses mutate — T cells recognize more stable parts of viruses, offering a path to broader protection.
