Cleveland Clinic researchers found higher amounts of the sugar alcohol xylitol are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke.

After three months of daily use of an alcohol-based mouthwash, two species of opportunistic bacteria were significantly more abundant in the mouth. These findings provide evidence that mouthwash may have a detrimental effect on the oral microbiome.

A simpler and more effective screening method for cervical cancer has been developed that can detect significantly more cancers and precancerous stages.

Researchers at QIMR Berghofer have developed a computer-based “growth chart” that could potentially transform the way paediatricians monitor child brain health and allow for earlier identification of neurodevelopmental delays.

A new study explores how an accumulation of this hidden fat called intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) and its associated cells can drive a range of diseases, including muscle loss, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

New research has given the clearest ever picture of young children’s developing brains, using a wearable brain scanner to map electrical brain activity.

Scientists have developed a computational method that links genes to the molecular marks on DNA that "switch" them on or off.

A self-powered sensor could be incorporated into MRI machines to help prevent motion artifacts, making the process more efficient.

A new study from Harvard University investigated trends in the timing of when girls start their first period. The paper, published in JAMA Network Open, raises implications for women’s health across generations.
