A study has found that a combined regimen of growth hormone and testosterone is safe, well-tolerated and is associated with meaningful improvements in muscle mass, strength and mobility for men living with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.

A new study has revealed that most Australian women of reproductive age prescribed GLP-1 receptor agonists are not using effective contraception, despite known risks during pregnancy.

A randomised placebo-controlled study showed that aspirin therapy does not provide significant relief for people suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps who are hypersensitive to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Scientists discovered that NAPE, a “three-tailed” fat molecule, helps protect cells during oxygen loss caused by stroke or heart attack. NAPE surges under stress, boosting lactic acid export and preventing toxic buildup.

UC San Francisco researchers screened 300 industrial dyes to identify those that bind to protein clumps linked to dementias like Alzheimer’s. They found 10 promising candidates, including one that illuminated tau in brain samples.

A new study offers a promising path toward the development of the world’s first broad-spectrum antiviral, which could be deployed against a wide range of deadly viruses, including future pandemic threats.

Some populations with the highest risk for Alzheimer’s disease remain greatly underrepresented in clinical trials. Participants from these high-risk groups are less likely to have elevated amyloid in the brain based on blood levels of p-tau217.

The REBOOT trial, spanning 8,438 patients across 109 hospitals, found beta blockers offered no benefit after heart attack in patients with preserved or mildly reduced heart function. Women faced higher risks, particularly at higher doses.

Researchers have developed mucus and polydopamine-based microspheres that offer controlled drug release and biological adaptability, with the added bonus of easy lubrication.

Researchers have detailed an enzymatic multicomponent reaction, resulting in six distinct molecular scaffolds, many of which were not previously accessible by other chemical or biological methods.
