			<title>Why heart disease risk in type 2 diabetes looks different for men and women</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260203030537.htm</link>
			<description>Scientists are digging into why heart disease risk in type 2 diabetes differs between men and women—and sex hormones may be part of the story. In a large Johns Hopkins study, men with higher testosterone had lower heart disease risk, while rising estradiol levels were linked to higher risk. These hormone effects were not seen in women. The results point toward more personalized approaches to heart disease prevention in diabetes.</description>

			<title>A common painkiller may be quietly changing cancer risk</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/01/260120000323.htm</link>
			<description>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.</description>

			<title>A hidden brain problem may be an early warning for Alzheimer’s</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/12/251228020016.htm</link>
			<description>Researchers discovered that clogged brain “drains” show up early in people at risk of Alzheimer’s disease. These blockages, easily seen on standard MRI scans, are tied to toxic protein buildup linked to memory loss and cognitive decline. In some cases, they may signal Alzheimer’s earlier than other commonly used brain markers. This could help physicians detect the disease earlier, before irreversible damage sets in.</description>

			<title>Doctors just found a way to slow one of the deadliest prostate cancers</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/10/251021083642.htm</link>
			<description>A powerful new drug combination—niraparib added to standard prostate cancer therapy—has been shown to significantly delay disease progression in men with specific DNA repair gene mutations. In the large AMPLITUDE trial, patients receiving the combo lived longer without symptoms worsening and saw nearly a 50% risk reduction in BRCA-mutated cases. While side effects like anemia were more common, the results mark a major step toward precision medicine for prostate cancer.</description>

			<title>Hormone cycles shape the structure and function of key memory regions in the brain</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/05/250513150241.htm</link>
			<description>Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior of our neurons and cognitive processes. Recently, researchers used modern laser microscopy techniques to observe how fluctuations in ovarian hormones shape both the structure and function of neurons in the mouse hippocampus, a brain region crucial for memory formation and spatial learning in mammals. They found that hormone fluctuations during the mouse estrous cycle, a 4-day cycle analogous to the 28-day human menstrual cycle, powerfully influence the shape and behavior of hippocampal neurons.</description>

			<title>MRI-first strategy for prostate cancer detection proves to be safe, study finds</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/12/241219152421.htm</link>
			<description>There are several strategies for the early detection of prostate cancer. The first step is often a blood test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA). If PSA levels exceed a certain threshold, the next step typically involves taking a tissue sample for analysis. Another option is to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to search for signs of a tumor before deciding whether a biopsy is necessary, reserving biopsies only for cases where abnormalities are detected. Researchers at conducted a study to determine whether this MRI-first approach is safe over the long term. Their findings show that this strategy poses no additional risk to patients for at least three years.</description>

			<title>Gut instincts: Intestinal nutrient sensors</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/10/241017173152.htm</link>
			<description>Researchers have developed strategies to identify regulators of intestinal hormone secretion. In response to incoming food, these hormones are secreted by rare hormone producing cells in the gut and play key roles in managing digestion and appetite. The team has developed new tools to identify potential &#039;nutrient sensors&#039; on these hormone producing cells and study their function. This could result in new strategies to interfere with the release of these hormones and provide avenues for the treatment of a variety of metabolic or gut motility disorders.</description>

			<description>A recent study examined data from more than 10,000 patients with &#039;Biopsy Gleason Grade Group (GGG) 1,&#039; a diagnosis considered to be the lowest grade cancer. Researchers found that even among patients diagnosed using the most modern diagnostic approach, 8 percent of patients with GGG1 had high-risk prostate cancer. Two risk factors -- high PSA levels and the presence of 50 percent or more positive biopsies from sampling -- could help identify patients with GGG1 at greatest risk of aggressive prostate cancer and increased risk of death.</description>

			<title>Gonadal function in male mice disrupted by prenatal risk factors</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/06/240614155434.htm</link>
			<description>Researchers have consistently shown that prenatal exposure to Di (2-ethyhexyl) phthalate harms the reproductive system in male mice and causes fertility defects. In a new study, scientists have shown that the combination of DEHP and a high-fat diet in pregnant mice can cause more damage to pups than each factor alone.</description>

			<title>Cause of pregnancy sickness -- and potential treatment</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2023/12/231213112510.htm</link>
			<description>A new study has shown why many women experience nausea and vomiting during pregnancy -- and why some women, including the Duchess of Cambridge, become so sick they need to be admitted to hospital. The culprit is a hormone produced by the fetus -- a protein known as GDF15. But how sick the mother feels depends on a combination of how much of the hormone is produced by the fetus and how much exposure the mother had to this hormone before becoming pregnant.</description>
