A new review of available evidence suggests that female reproductive characteristics may be overlooked as risk factors that contribute to later metabolic dysfunction.
Female reproductive milestones may be risk factors for diabetes and high cholesterol later in life

Nearly all older U.S. citizens follow one of nine trajectories in their last three years, researchers say.

Cancer screening tests can help doctors find several forms of the disease at an early stage. The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends routine screening for breast, cervical, colorectal, and lung cancer. But the proportions of eligible adults who have been screened are below national targets. In a new study, researchers used computer modeling to estimate the number of deathsExit Disclaimer that could be prevented by increasing the use of USPSTF-recommended cancer screening tests. The study modeled a 10–percentage point increase in the use of these screening tests.

Scientists uncovered a mechanism by which cancer cells prevent the immune system from activating and attacking the cancerous invaders. The study sheds light on why immunotherapy treatments don't work for all people or all diseases. For example, certain types of cancers -- including colon, pancreatic, prostate and brain cancers -- have stubbornly resisted immunotherapy. And while breast, esophageal and head and neck cancers often respond favorably, sometimes the treatments don't work as planned. Researchers still don't understand exactly why.

An immune component of breast milk known as the complement system shapes the gut environment of infant mice in ways that make them less susceptible to certain disease-causing bacteria, according to a new study.

In a new study, researchers combined OCT retinal imaging, genetics and big data to estimate how likely a person is to develop eye and systemic diseases in the future. They found significant associations between the thinning of different retinal layers and increased risk of developing eye, neuropsychiatric, cardiac, metabolic, and pulmonary diseases and identified genes that are associated with retinal layer thickness. Their hope is one day patients can be provided more personalized risk assessments and referred to specialists for preventive and treatment plans for eye and other diseases.
