NIH scientists have discovered that age-related mutations in blood stem cells, a condition called CHIP, significantly increase the risk of heart disease by triggering chronic inflammation. The study explains how…
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health and international partners have identified the hormone GDF15 as the primary cause of severe morning sickness. The study reveals that a woman's sensitivity…
Scientists at the NIH have discovered a direct neural pathway between the auditory cortex and the thalamus that allows low-intensity sound to suppress pain. The study reveals that sound-induced analgesia…
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health identified a genetic disorder called DADA2 that causes early-onset strokes and chronic inflammation. By pinpointing mutations in the ADA2 gene, the team developed…
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have identified a specific neural pathway that governs the placebo effect in pain management. By mapping the circuit between the anterior cingulate cortex…
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have identified a new, life-threatening autoinflammatory condition called VEXAS syndrome. Caused by somatic mutations in the UBA1 gene, the discovery marks a shift…
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have successfully mapped the human brain's glymphatic system using advanced MRI technology. The study confirms that this waste-clearance network is vital for removing…
