UCL researchers have developed an ultrasound helmet that enables deep brain stimulation without surgery, offering hope for Parkinson's and other neurological disorders.
A University of Oxford-led review found women with obesity who lost weight before IVF were 47% more likely to conceive naturally and 21% more likely to become pregnant overall.
Researchers from the University of Zurich have developed an AI-driven gene editing method that improves DNA repair predictions, enabling more accurate and safer genome modifications.
King's College London researchers develop a minimally invasive under-the-skin electrode that allows continuous, real-world tracking of epilepsy seizures, improving diagnosis and treatment options.
A new study links excessive screen time in children and teens to higher risks of high blood pressure, cholesterol, and insulin resistance, especially when sleep is limited.
Researchers using patient-derived stem cells reveal a rare ALS mutation triggers a chronic stress response in motor neurons, blocking it reverses damage in lab models, paving the way for new treatment strategies.
A new experimental treatment has been shown to reduce brain damage from stroke by up to 60% in mice, raising hopes for a breakthrough in recovery outcomes.
Karolinska Institutet researchers analysed DNA from nearly one million people and found genetic variants tied to brain function, immune defence, and metabolism that raise the risk of frailty in old age.
Scientists have found that lupus symptoms improve with age as immune system genes become less active, offering new insight into age-related treatment strategies.
Johns Hopkins researchers have grown a multi-region human brain organoid with rudimentary blood vessels and connected neural circuits that mimic fetal brain development.
The NHS is starting the world’s first vaccine programme to prevent gonorrhoea, using the 4CMenB meningitis vaccine in high‑risk groups from August 2025.
FDA clearance of the first Alzheimer's blood test marks a significant step toward earlier, more straightforward diagnosis—potentially improving care for adults with memory concerns.
Extreme weather events, the increasing threat of antimicrobial resistance, and other global challenges are impacting the prevalence and fight against tuberculosis. Open Access Government examines the burden of TB, looking at the origins and drivers of this ubiquitous disease
A major UK Biobank study shows that inconsistent sleep timing, not just sleep duration, is associated with increased risk for 172 diseases, including liver cirrhosis and cardiovascular conditions.
New research from the University of Nottingham shows the COVID-19 pandemic may have accelerated brain ageing by over five months, even in people who were never infected, due to stress and lifestyle changes.
