Researchers found that a “fasting-mimicking diet” — involving just five days a month of very low-calorie, plant-based meals — led to noticeable improvements in symptoms for most participants. Even more striking, the diet didn’t just make patients feel better; it also reduced key biological markers of inflammation linked to the disease.

By analyzing DNA from over 9,000 patients, researchers discovered that only colorectal tumors consistently host distinct microbial communities—challenging the long-held belief that all cancers have their own microbial signatures. Wed, 01 Apr 2026 23:54:49 EDT https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/04/260401071951.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/04/260401071931.htm A surprising new study suggests that genetics may change how diet affects brain health—especially when it comes to Alzheimer’s risk. Researchers found that older adults carrying high-risk APOE gene variants didn’t show the expected cognitive decline if they ate relatively high amounts of meat. In fact, those with these genes who consumed the most meat had slower cognitive decline and lower dementia risk, challenging conventional dietary advice. Thu, 02 Apr 2026 13:54:07 EDT https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/04/260401071931.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/03/260330001147.htm Scientists have uncovered a surprising secret about our DNA: it’s not a static blueprint, but a constantly shifting, folding structure that helps control how genes turn on and off. Researchers at the Salk Institute found that different parts of the genome loop and unloop at different speeds, with more active regions constantly reshaping themselves to support gene activity.

It urges people to start screening sooner—sometimes even in childhood—and highlights the importance of tracking not just LDL (“bad”) cholesterol but also genetic risk factors like lipoprotein(a). A new, more advanced risk calculator now uses broader health data to better predict heart attack and stroke risk over decades. Sun, 29 Mar 2026 05:43:08 EDT https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/03/260328043554.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/03/260306224238.htm Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a rare mutation in the MET gene that can directly cause metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. The mutation disrupts the liver’s ability to process fat, leading to inflammation, scarring, and potentially cirrhosis. The discovery began with a father and daughter who had the disease without typical risk factors. Large-scale genomic data suggests similar rare variants may quietly contribute to the disease in many more people. Sat, 07 Mar 2026 06:04:29 EST https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/03/260306224238.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/03/260305223204.htm Researchers created an AI-driven liquid biopsy that scans patterns in fragments of DNA circulating in the blood. The system detected early liver fibrosis and cirrhosis—conditions that often go unnoticed until serious damage occurs. By analyzing genome-wide DNA fragmentation patterns rather than specific mutations, the approach captures hidden signals about a person’s overall health. Early detection could help doctors treat liver disease sooner and potentially prevent cancer.

New projections from the American Heart Association warn that over the next 25 years, cardiovascular disease will rise sharply, driven largely by a surge in high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity. By 2050, nearly 60% of women in the U.S. could have high blood pressure, and close to one in three women ages 22 to 44 may already be living with some form of heart disease. Fri, 27 Feb 2026 06:18:18 EST https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260227061818.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260225001250.htm Researchers have detected microplastics in nearly all prostate cancer tumors examined in a new study. Tumor tissue contained about 2.5 times more plastic than nearby healthy prostate tissue. Scientists say this is the first Western study to directly measure plastic particles in prostate tumors. More research is needed, but the findings suggest microplastic exposure could play a role in cancer development. Wed, 25 Feb 2026 01:28:19 EST https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260225001250.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260211204204.htm A new clinical trial suggests that changing when you eat could make a meaningful difference for people living with Crohn’s disease. Researchers found that time-restricted feeding, a form of intermittent fasting that limits meals to an 8-hour daily window, reduced disease activity by 40% and cut abdominal discomfort in half over 12 weeks. Participants also lost weight and showed healthier inflammation and immune markers, even though they did not reduce calories or change what they ate. Wed, 11 Feb 2026 21:25:28 EST https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260211204204.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260210040608.htm Why does the same virus barely faze one person while sending another to the hospital? New research shows the answer lies in a molecular record etched into our immune cells by both our genes and our life experiences. Scientists at the Salk Institute have created a detailed epigenetic map of human immune cells, revealing how inherited traits and past exposures—like infections, vaccines, or even environmental chemicals—shape immune responses in different ways. Wed, 11 Feb 2026 00:02:01 EST https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260210040608.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/01/260122093437.htm A new blood test may reveal Crohn’s disease years before symptoms begin. The test detects an unusual immune response to gut bacteria in people who later develop the condition. By studying healthy relatives of Crohn’s patients, researchers identified early warning signals long in advance. The findings raise hope for earlier diagnosis and future prevention. Thu, 22 Jan 2026 09:34:37 EST https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/01/260122093437.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/01/260120000323.htm Ibuprofen may be doing more than easing aches and pains—it could also help reduce the risk of some cancers. Studies have linked regular use to lower rates of endometrial and bowel cancer, likely because the drug dampens inflammation that fuels tumor growth. Researchers have even found it can interfere with genes cancer cells rely on to survive. Still, experts warn that long-term use carries risks and shouldn’t replace proven prevention strategies. Tue, 20 Jan 2026 03:47:11 EST https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/01/260120000323.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/01/260108231348.htm Scientists at USC are launching a new trial to test a tiny stem cell implant that could restore vision in people with advanced dry macular degeneration. The hair-thin patch replaces damaged retinal cells responsible for sharp, central vision. Earlier studies showed the implant was safe and helped some patients see better. Researchers now hope it can deliver meaningful, lasting improvements in eyesight. Fri, 09 Jan 2026 08:45:09 EST https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/01/260108231348.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/01/260107225541.htm DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing how genome structure changes from cell to cell and over time. These insights reveal why many disease-linked mutations outside genes can still cause harm. The findings could speed up the discovery of genetic risks and inspire new ways to target diseases. Thu, 08 Jan 2026 21:16:11 EST https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/01/260107225541.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/01/260106224644.htm Global cancer cases have surged dramatically, doubling since 1990 and reaching 18.5 million new diagnoses in 2023. Deaths have also climbed to over 10 million a year, with the steepest increases hitting low- and middle-income countries. Without urgent action, researchers project more than 30 million new cases annually by 2050. Alarmingly, around four in ten cancer deaths are tied to preventable risks such as smoking, poor diet, and high blood sugar. Wed, 07 Jan 2026 02:57:53 EST https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/01/260106224644.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/11/251126095018.htm Researchers at Stanford found a way to cure or prevent Type 1 diabetes in mice using a combined blood stem cell and islet cell transplant. The procedure creates a hybrid immune system that stops autoimmune attacks and eliminates the need for immune-suppressing drugs. The method uses tools already common in clinical practice, putting human trials within reach. Scientists think the same strategy could transform treatments for autoimmune conditions and organ transplantation.

The test merges several types of genetic analysis into one powerful model, offering doctors a clearer way to spot risk early. Researchers believe this “genetic roadmap” could transform how conditions like AFib are detected and prevented. It may also help shape targeted therapies tailored to a person’s unique DNA. Mon, 17 Nov 2025 20:50:35 EST https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/11/251117091142.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/11/251110021056.htm Researchers have discovered that prostate cancer depends on two key enzymes, PDIA1 and PDIA5, to survive and resist therapy. When blocked, these enzymes cause the androgen receptor to collapse, killing cancer cells and enhancing the effects of drugs like enzalutamide. They also disrupt the cancer’s energy system, striking it on multiple fronts. This breakthrough could open a new path to overcoming drug resistance in advanced prostate cancer. Mon, 10 Nov 2025 10:56:29 EST https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/11/251110021056.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/11/251103093012.htm UC San Diego researchers combined artificial intelligence with molecular biology to unravel how immune cells in the gut decide between inflammation and healing, a process gone awry in Crohn’s disease. They discovered that the NOD2 gene’s interaction with a protein called girdin is crucial for maintaining balance. When this connection is lost due to a common mutation, inflammation spirals out of control. Mon, 03 Nov 2025 21:44:57 EST https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/11/251103093012.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/10/251022023118.htm A wireless eye implant developed at Stanford Medicine has restored reading ability to people with advanced macular degeneration.

Now, researchers at RIKEN have discovered that smoking creates metabolites like hydroquinone that allow mouth bacteria—especially Streptococcus mitis—to settle in the gut. These bacteria spark an immune response that reduces inflammation in colitis but worsens Crohn’s. The findings open the door to new therapies using probiotics or targeted compounds that mimic smoking’s protective effects without its deadly risks.
