Scientists studying how a common tuberculosis vaccine works have discovered that it induces a previously unknown mechanism in the gut that triggers a systemic immune alert, which then causes changes in the innate immune system in the lung to fend off not just tuberculosis, but a broad range of respiratory pathogens
School of Medicine researchers have identified a key contributor to high blood pressure that could lead to new treatments for a condition which affects almost half of American adults.
A new study has revealed significant racial disparities in how quickly minorities with the most common form of lung cancer receive potentially lifesaving radiation therapy compared with their white counterparts.
UVA Health Cancer Center researchers have developed an algorithm that will improve cancer care by quickly and easily identifying patients who will benefit from powerful cancer drugs called kinase inhibitors.
In a rare disease called mucolipidosis type II, people’s hearts and abdomens swell, and their bones grow malformed.
For many people, a high-sugar diet has become almost accidental.
In some children, pediatric acute myeloid leukemia can become resistant to treatment; UC San Diego researchers think they now know why.
UCLA researchers have identified and analyzed the steps by which immune cells “see” and respond to cancer cells, providing insights into reasons some treatments may be effective for certain patients but not others.
Yale researchers uncovered a novel mechanism by which “good” bacteria colonize the gut. The finding could help spur the development of new probiotic therapies.
In 2015, at the end of the Ebola crisis, Liberia had just 80 physicians providing care for a population of over four million, one of the lowest physician-to-population ratios worldwide.

The constant evolution of new COVID-19 variants makes it critical for clinicians to have multiple therapies in their arsenal for treating drug-resistant infections.
In the United States, managing hypertension or high blood pressure has proven to be challenging.

A preventive procedure, performed on healthy mice, improved their recovery from later-occurring cardiac injury, reshaping our knowledge of regeneration in hearts – and possibly other organs
One of the most terrifying aspects of the COVID pandemic has been its unpredictably severe impact on some children.
A new study shows that full-term infants admitted into neonatal intensive care (NICU) units have an elevated risk of long-term childhood mortality, according to a team of researchers led by Shahar Talisman and Sorina Grisaru Granovsky.
