Between and around the billions of neurons in the human brain is an interlinked net of proteins and sugars, which can regulate memory, learning, and behavior. A new tool developed by University of Utah Health researchers has uncovered detailed, dynamic patterns in this network's structure.
The places we grew up leave indelible marks on us, locked in the atoms of the toughest structures in our bodies. Subtle differences in tooth chemistry could help determine the identity of fallen soldiers and other human remains—if we can learn to read that history.
Popular ideas about weight loss often aren’t based in science and can actively harm your health. Here are some of the most common myths, along with some tips to improve your health sustainably while maintaining a healthy attitude toward weight and food.
Scientists are finding clues for how to treat diabetes and hormone disorders in an unexpected place: a toxin from one of the most venomous animals on the planet.
Long-term, heritable changes in gene activity fundamentally shape our biology, trigger many of our diseases, and set the clock on how we age. Now, a team of U of U Health scientists is starting an ambitious project to map these changes across the entire human genome.
An AI-based analysis of over 2 million hospital visits has found that most pneumonia diagnoses made in the hospital will change from a patient’s entrance to their discharge; clinical notes on pneumonia diagnoses reflect similarly high uncertainty.
For people with long COVID, a few weeks of symptoms stretches into months or even years, making a return to normal life feel impossible. The Long COVID Clinic aims to find solutions.
Health isn't just about what you do, but when you do it. Establishing a regular sleeping and eating schedule can have significant health benefits.
The new results could ultimately help lead to interventions that help spark creative thought or aid people who have mental illnesses that disrupt these regions of the brain.
9.3% of people who get COVID while pregnant will go on to develop long COVID. The study, led by University of Utah Health researcher Torri Metz, found that common symptoms were fatigue, gastrointestinal issues, and feeling drained or exhausted by routine activities.
The first-ever global estimate of the economic costs of genital herpes infections shows billions of dollars of health care expenditures and productivity losses.
More than a simple stopwatch, understanding how time cells work could ultimately aid in early detection of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.
How can an animal virus turn into a human disease? Between the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the looming concern of avian flu, the question is an urgent one. Tyler Starr, PhD, has received a prestigious Searle Scholar Award to look for answers.
People from South Asian countries tend to develop heart disease 10 years earlier than other populations. Kevin Shah, MD, is working to change that.
A new statement from the American Heart Association recommends a much more conservative approach to treating high blood pressure in acute care.
Mammalian immunity has been shaped from day one by the most successful human pathogens on the planet. Learning how we've evolved together could help scientists understand immune development, treat autoimmune conditions, and make better vaccines.
Scientists captured, for the first time, the complex internal acrobatics that heavy metal singers perform in order to sing harsh vocals.
A particular form of mindfulness emphasizing pleasure works as well as a starting dose of a narcotic for pain and better than traditional psychotherapy for substance abuse.
The 120 attendees are using Utah’s uniquely strong genetics resources to answer fundamental biological questions and develop solutions to urgent issues in human health.
