The results of a clinical trial find introducing gluten into a baby's diet from the age of four months may reduce their risk of developing celiac disease. The researchers stress larger trials are necessary before any broad dietary recommendations are suggested.

For some time now, we've heard about scaffolding-like materials that are implanted into bone fractures, prompting the body's own bone cells to grow into them and heal the break. Now, however, scientists have developed a special bandage that may also do the job.

A newly published review has concluded there is no evidence to suggest wearing a face mask to protect against COVID-19 transmission leads to lower levels of compliance with other hygiene measures such as social distancing and hand washing.

A team of researchers from King’s College London has, for the first time, imaged the brains of patients with psychosis under the influence of CBD. The study demonstrates the anti-psychotic potential of CBD, suggesting clinical trials are necessary.

A team of UK researchers has, for the first time in living human brains, demonstrated how the cognitive dysfunction seen in schizophrenia may be caused by the lack of a key protein known to facilitate communication between neurons in the brain.

Scientists have uncovered what they describe as the first “compelling evidence” of the effects of childhood neglect on brain development by tracking the long-term impacts among Romanian orphans who spent time in the country’s institutions.

Researchers are reporting positive results from an early trial exploring the safety profile of psilocybin doses in healthy adults. The trial also explored the potential of group dosing sessions as a way to speed up research and expand patient access.

A comprehensive study from the UK has found that introducing children to certain foods at an early age is associated with a lower risk of developing allergies – and the correlation is clear even when subjects didn’t stick strictly to the regime.

A global study into the genetic origins of anorexia suggests the illness is not just a psychiatric condition but also a metabolic disorder. The research revealed metabolic genetic variants unique to those suffering from this chronic eating disorder, and not seen in other psychiatric conditions.

A landmark study, led by a team of scientists from King’s College London and the University of Cambridge, has described the mechanism responsible for the hardening of arteries. The research also points to a common antibiotic as a potential new treatment to prevent this condition.

You already know that sugar isn't the best thing for your health, but new research might just give you another reason to avoid the white stuff. Scientists say they've discovered a molecular link between blood sugar levels and an enzyme that just might be the tipping point in Alzheimer's disease.

Tending to our cavities might one day be a much more comfortable experience, with scientists discovering that a type of Alzheimer's drug can actually stimulate stem cells within the tooth pulp to promote natural repair instead. ​
