This ultrasound treatment may help stop arthritis before it starts

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 10:07:21 +0000

Researchers at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), part of The University of Alabama System, have identified a promising new use for continuous low-intensity ultrasound that could one day help treat joint injuries and reduce the risk of post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Their findings suggest the non-invasive approach may shift the body's immune response away from long-lasting inflammation and toward tissue repair, offering a potential drug-free strategy for improving healing.

Second pregnancy changes the brain in surprising new ways

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 11:37:04 +0000

A second pregnancy changes the brain in ways that are both familiar and distinct from a first pregnancy, according to new research from Amsterdam UMC published in Nature Communications. Building on earlier work showing that a first pregnancy reshapes the brain, the researchers found that each pregnancy leaves its own unique imprint on the maternal brain.

Why the human body has so many design flaws

The human body is often described as a marvel of “perfect design”: elegant, efficient and finely tuned for its purpose. Yet, when we look closer, a rather different picture emerges.

Scientists discover the one nutrient beneficial parasites can't live without

Intestinal worms may help reduce inflammation, but new research suggests they can only do so when they have enough dietary fiber to thrive. Without sufficient fiber, these worms enter a hibernation-like state and lose their ability to provide anti-inflammatory benefits.

Heavy marijuana smoking may increase cancer risk, researchers warn

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 22:16:14 +0000

As marijuana becomes legal in more states, many people assume it is relatively safe. But when it comes to cancer, the picture is far less clear. While tobacco smoking has long been established as a major cause of lung cancer, scientists are still working to understand exactly how marijuana affects cancer risk, according to Brooks Udelsman, MD, a thoracic surgeon with USC Surgery at Keck Medicine of USC.

Scientists discover the deep sleep circuit that builds muscle, burns fat, and boosts the brain

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 07:39:08 +0000

A good night's sleep does far more than leave you feeling refreshed. It also triggers the release of growth hormone, a key hormone that helps build muscle and bone, burn fat, and support healthy growth. That's why athletes value quality sleep for recovery, and why teenagers need enough sleep to reach their full height potential.

A surprising brain discovery is forcing scientists to rethink movement disorders

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 19:10:06 +0000

New research from a Virginia Tech neuroscientist at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC is raising questions about a long-standing approach to studying chronic neurological conditions such as dystonia, ataxia, and tremor.
