Read the latest medical research on causes and treatments for erectile dysfunction. en-us Sun, 19 Apr 2026 09:22:16 EDT Sun, 19 Apr 2026 09:22:16 EDT 60 https://www.sciencedaily.com/images/scidaily-logo-rss.png https://www.sciencedaily.com/news/health_medicine/erectile_dysfunction/ For more science news, visit ScienceDaily. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/03/260313062539.htm Cambridge scientists have discovered a light-powered chemical reaction that lets researchers modify complex drug molecules at the final stages of development. Unlike traditional methods that rely on toxic chemicals and harsh conditions, the new approach uses an LED lamp to create essential carbon–carbon bonds under mild conditions. This could make drug discovery faster and more environmentally friendly. The breakthrough was uncovered unexpectedly during a failed laboratory experiment.

Memory problems, depression, sleep issues, weight gain, and many other symptoms appeared just as often in people taking a placebo. Only a few side effects showed any link to statins — and even those were rare. Sun, 15 Feb 2026 00:35:50 EST https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260212025550.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/01/260131084610.htm Statins are a cornerstone of heart health, but muscle pain and weakness cause many patients to quit taking them. Scientists have now identified the precise molecular trigger behind these side effects. They found that statins jam open a critical muscle protein, causing a toxic calcium leak. The discovery could lead to safer statins that keep their life-saving benefits without the muscle damage.

New research reveals a hidden trick: cancer cells can package the immune-blocking protein PD-L1 into tiny particles that circulate through the body and weaken immunotherapy’s impact. Scientists in Japan discovered that a little-known protein, UBL3, controls this process—and surprisingly, common cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins can shut it down.

In a large UK study, statin use was linked to fewer deaths and major cardiac events across all risk levels. Even those labeled “low risk” benefited, challenging long-held assumptions about who should receive preventive therapy. Side effects were rare and generally mild. Thu, 15 Jan 2026 09:17:02 EST https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/01/260115022812.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/01/260114084122.htm A new discovery may explain why so many people abandon cholesterol-lowering statins because of muscle pain and weakness. Researchers found that certain statins can latch onto a key muscle protein and trigger a tiny but harmful calcium leak inside muscle cells. That leak may weaken muscles directly or activate processes that slowly break them down, offering a long-sought explanation for statin-related aches.

The results hint that intimacy itself can curb genitourinary syndrome of menopause, a cluster of estrogen-related symptoms that erode quality of life.

A study highlighted the importance of screening for urinary symptoms in men.

Loss of eligibility for cholesterol and blood pressure medicines could lead to 107,000 more heart attacks and strokes over 10 years but may reduce new diabetes cases by 57,000 over the same period. The findings underscore the importance of reexamining current treatment cutoffs in parallel with new risk estimates to better individualize therapy and improve clinical decisions.

A new study suggests that part of the explanation -- specifically for male bisexuals -- has to do with risk-taking behavior.

More than 90 million people in the U.S. use statins, making it one of the most prescribed medications in the country. Despite their effectiveness in lowering cholesterol levels and the risk of cardiovascular diseases, previous studies have highlighted suboptimal prescribing trends.

Reducing the risk of irregular heart rhythms -- known as arrhythmias -- during adolescence may help reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death and developing heart disease in adulthood.

The analysis found that common genetic variants in more than 402,000 people, who were not taking statins, that mimic the effects of LDL-cholesterol lowering statins are associated with a higher risk of cataracts and cataract surgery. They also found that rare genetic mutations in 169,172 people, mimicking statin treatment, increased the risk of developing cataracts by nearly five times.
