Researchers engineer a tool to dismantle cancer's RNA-built growth hubs

In a city, coworking hubs bring people and ideas together. Inside cancer cells, similar hubs form-but instead of fueling progress, they supercharge disease. That's what researchers at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) have discovered inside the cells of a rare and aggressive kidney cancer.

Why the first 1,000 days matter most in preventing childhood obesity

The EndObesity Consortium’s narrative review underscores that most childhood obesity risks emerge in the first 1,000 days, well before birth, highlighting gaps in parental, social, and policy interventions. Effective prevention demands preconception-focused, family-wide, and system-level strategies built on equitable public health frameworks.

Yogurt’s impact on bone health falls short of fracture protection, review finds

This systematic review and meta-analysis found that while yogurt consumption shows a modest positive association with bone health markers, its effect on bone mineral density and fracture prevention in adults is clinically negligible. Current evidence is based solely on observational studies, with low certainty and limited characterization of yogurt products.

Mediterranean-style diets improve pelvic floor function and sexual health, review finds

This systematic review and meta-analysis of 31 studies reveals that healthy, anti-inflammatory dietary patterns, particularly the Mediterranean and DASH diets, are linked to improved sexual function and reduced incontinence symptoms in pelvic floor dysfunction. However, prospective evidence for incontinence improvement remains limited, suggesting that benefits may be mediated by metabolic and inflammatory pathways, especially in individuals with obesity or metabolic syndrome.
