Certain factors associated with developing age-related hearing loss differ by gender, including weight, and hormone exposure, according to a study published in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Dong Woo Nam of Chungbuk National University Hospital in South Korea and colleagues.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health discovered overactivation in multiple brain regions, including the frontal and parietal lobes and the amygdala, in unmedicated children with anxiety disorders. They also demonstrated that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) improved clinical symptoms as well as brain function. The findings shed light on the brain mechanisms that underpin the immediate effects of cognitive behavioral therapy in treating one of the most common mental diseases.

A revolutionary study performed by UNIST's Department of Biological Sciences' Professor Sebyung Kang and Professor Sung Ho Park has shown a significant advance in cancer therapy. The study team has successfully generated novel "NK cell-engaging nanodrones" capable of specifically targeting and killing cancer cells, providing a viable treatment for difficult-to-treat tumours.

Plant biologists at the DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory in the United States have developed enzymes to change grass plants so that their biomass can be turned more efficiently into biofuels and other bioproducts.

High school sports participation instils healthy habits in boys and girls that can lead to healthier lives, according to research presented at the 2023 AAP National Conference & Exhibition at the Walter E. Washington Convention Centre, and body image issues caused by social media may be contributing to teenagers quitting.

According to research presented at the 2023 AAP National Conference & Exhibition at the Walter E Washington Convention Centre, electronic hair styling products such as curling irons are a common cause of burn injuries in the home, particularly among young children, resulting in nearly 31,000 burns in children and young people between 2013 and 22.
