Two Days of Oatmeal Cut LDL Cholesterol in Metabolic Syndrome Trial
A University of Bonn study suggests that eating mostly oatmeal for just two days can significantly lower harmful LDL cholesterol in people with metabolic syndrome. The short, intensive diet also reshaped gut bacteria in ways that may help protect against diabetes and heart disease.

New AI Tool Predicts Cancer Metastasis Risk With High Accuracy
University of Geneva researchers have built an AI tool that reads tumors’ gene activity to forecast whether cancer is likely to spread. The approach could help spare low-risk patients from harsh treatment while focusing care on those who need it most.

New Blood Test Method May Predict Asthma Attacks Years Ahead
A new study suggests that measuring the balance of certain blood molecules could predict who is likely to have an asthma attack years before it happens, potentially transforming how doctors prevent severe flare-ups.

Scientists Find Toxic Kidney Signal That Helps Explain Heart Deaths
More than half of people with chronic kidney disease die from heart problems. New research reveals a toxic signal from the kidney to the heart — and a path toward earlier diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Simple Kidney Test Tool May Catch Disease Years Earlier
A massive Swedish study suggests that “normal” kidney test results can still hide early risk. A new web-based tool could help clinicians act years sooner to prevent chronic kidney disease.

Natural Immune ‘Brake’ Could Transform Treatment of Chronic Inflammation
Scientists at University College London have uncovered a natural “off switch” for inflammation in humans. The discovery could pave the way for new treatments for arthritis, heart disease and other chronic conditions driven by runaway immune responses.

Health Research in 2025: From Early Detection to Real-World Prevention
In 2025, university health research sent a clear message: many of the leading causes of illness can now be identified earlier, prevented more precisely, and addressed at scale. Across areas like heart and metabolic disease, cancer, brain health and infectious disease, researchers improved how clinicians spot risk sooner, intervene more effectively, and help people live…

Blood Metabolite Signature Sharpens Prediction of Type 2 Diabetes
A massive long-term study has uncovered a blood-based metabolite signature that predicts who is more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, beyond standard risk factors. The work also links diet, lifestyle and genetics to these tiny molecules, pointing toward more personalized prevention.
