Exercise “snacks” are popular for a reason: These little chunks of movement that you fit in throughout the day can add up to bigger fitness gains over time. But how short is too short? A new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine suggests that—at least for heart health—you may want to set aside at least 10 minutes at a time
Research by scientists at the University of Vermont Robert Larner, M.D. College of Medicine provides novel insights into the mechanisms that regulate brain blood flow and highlight a potential therapeutic strategy to correct vascular dysfunction. Their preclinical findings, published December 22 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggest that adding a missing phospholipid back into a
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center’s Ludwig Center developed a new treatment that selectively targets TRBC2-positive T-cell cancers, expanding a precision approach they established in 2024 for TRBC1-positive tumors. The therapy, an antibody-drug conjugate, targets a protein expressed on the surface of T-cell cancers to deliver a cancer cell-killing drug. The work, published Dec. 22 in Nature Cancer, provides
‘Do the exercises you like,’ because any type will help control your blood pressure Linda Pescatello, Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor in the Department of Kinesiology (CAHNR), has established herself as a leading figure in the study of exercise as medicine. One avenue of Pescatello’s work has highlighted how exercise can help lower blood pressure.
A new study implicates a pair of substances secreted by immune cells in inducing myocarditis among mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine recipients — and proposes a strategy to mitigate this effect. tanford Medicine investigators have unearthed the biological process by which mRNA-based vaccines for COVID-19 can cause heart damage in some young men and adolescents — and
An international team has published NeuMap, the first atlas to reveal the global architecture of neutrophils, showing how this “first line of defense” reorganizes to protect, remember, and heal. Neutrophils are the most abundant immune cells in the body and the first to respond to infection or tissue damage. Yet despite their importance, until now
A new study reveals that 16% of teens exposed to both phases of the Russo-Ukrainian war experience symptoms of PTSD compared to 1% of non-exposed teens, and more than 10% experience severe depressive symptoms compared to 3% of non-exposed peers. Adolescents exposed to both phases of war also reported significantly higher levels of suicide attempts.
Adolescents who own a smartphone early are at greater risk of depression, obesity and insufficient sleep than those who do not A new study from researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) in collaboration with researchers from the University of California, Berkeley and Columbia University in New York, found that owning a smartphone in early
Team headed by Dr. Renier Brentjens finds reprogramming neutrophils is key to antitumor immune response A laboratory study out of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center outlines a new way to boost the effectiveness of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in solid-tumor cancers, resulting in their eradication. Led by Renier Brentjens, MD, PhD, Deputy Director and
A study conducted by researchers from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) in partnership with University College London, in the United Kingdom, concluded that the accumulation of abdominal fat associated with muscle mass loss represents an 83% increase in the risk of death compared to people who do not have either of these conditions.
