Low birthweight increases stroke risk independent of adult BMI7:30 In new research to be presented at this year's European Congress on Obesity (ECO2026) in Istanbul, Turkey (12-15 May), researchers show an increased risk of stroke in young adulthood for children of low birthweight, independent of their body mass index (BMI) as young adults or gestational age at birth. Identity cohesion linked to better mental health in marginalized groups6:58 People of color who are also part of sexual and gender minority groups face unique challenges shaped by overlapping forms of discrimination. While much research has focused on the mental health risks they experience, far less has explored how people of these multiple identities build strength and resilience. Toxic RNA drives progressive heart damage in myotonic dystrophy6:58 Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the most common cause of adult-onset muscular dystrophy, a genetic disorder that leads to muscle weakness and wasting, but also affects the brain, the gastrointestinal tract and the heart. Organ-on-chip model advances study of sexually transmitted infections6:26 Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) not only impact an individual's health but also result in multibillion-dollar economic losses worldwide. Injectable microgels reduce surgical bleeding risk in infants6:26 Biomedical researchers have designed an injectable microgel to help reduce bleeding in infants who require surgical care. In an animal model, the engineered microgel reduced bleeding by at least 50%. Emerging SARS-CoV-2 variant BA.3.2 shows no signs of greater danger6:26 The Global Virus Network (GVN), representing eminent human and animal virologists from more than 90 Centers of Excellence and Affiliates in over 40 countries dedicated to advancing research, collaboration, and pandemic preparedness, is monitoring the SARS-CoV-2 variant BA.3.2, sometimes informally referred to in media reports as the "cicada" variant, and emphasizes that current evidence does not … Novel mucosal vaccine offers broad protection against diverse influenza viruses5:54 A novel vaccine platform has been developed to induce broad, protective immunity against numerous influenza virus infections, showing promise as an effective mucosal vaccine strategy, according to a study published by researchers in the Institute for Biomedical Sciences at Georgia State University.

Calcium channel mutations disrupt early brain development and cause epilepsy5:54 Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a previously unrecognized mechanism by which inherited calcium channel mutations disrupt early brain development and predispose children to epilepsy and related cognitive challenges. Study reveals how bacterial collagenase efficiently breaks down collagen5:22 Collagen is an important protein that helps build the tissues of humans and animals. It is very strong because it is made of three protein strands twisted tightly together like a rope. Because of this sturdy structure, ordinary protein-cutting enzymes usually cannot break it down. |
