Shared genetic roots of 14 psychiatric disorders revealed

Researchers from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC) report that most genetic influences on mental illness are shared across diagnostic categories, revealing a more interconnected biological landscape than traditional classifications suggest.

Psoriasis caused by changes in the fat metabolism of skin cells

A research team led by Erwin F. Wagner from the Medical University of Vienna has discovered a previously unknown molecular mechanism that contributes to the development of psoriasis - and at the same time represents a potential biomarker for a new treatment concept.

Driving simulator exposes early Parkinson’s impairments that routine tests fail to detect

A high-fidelity driving simulator detected subtle visuospatial, attentional, and reaction time impairments in people with mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease, even when standard cognitive tests appeared normal. The study shows that simulator-based assessments can uncover real-world driving difficulties linked to disease severity that traditional screening tools often miss.

People with epilepsy and learning disabilities face preventable early deaths

A combination of missed prevention opportunities and health inequalities can result in the early deaths of people living with epilepsy and intellectual disabilities, a study has shown.

Glucose-lowering drugs may reduce risk of developing epilepsy

A preliminary study of people with diabetes suggests that use of glucose-lowering GLP-1 drugs may be linked to a lower risk of developing epilepsy. The study was published on December 10, 2025, in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

New AAN guideline offers treatment strategies for functional seizures

To help neurologists, mental health clinicians and other clinicians determine the best ways to help people manage functional seizures, the American Academy of Neurology has issued a new guideline, published on December 10, 2025, in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

Screen time and ADHD: why social media stands out from gaming and TV

Over four years in a large US cohort, greater social media use was associated with small but consistent increases in inattention symptoms in children, while video games and television were not. Genetic risk for ADHD did not modify this inattention association, and analyses supported a directional link from social media use to later attention difficulties.

Antibody therapy clears residual multiple myeloma in early trial

Treatment with an immune and cancer cell-targeting antibody therapy eradicates residual traces of the blood cell cancer multiple myeloma, according to interim results from a clinical trial conducted by researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

Discovery links human M cells to early steps of celiac disease

The human small intestine absorbs nutrients while protecting us from potentially harmful microbes. One of the cell types that plays a key role in this protection is the microfold cell, or M cell.

Many arrested individuals in London may have undiagnosed ADHD or autism

Offering screening for neurodivergence to people detained by the police could help ensure access to appropriate support and fairer treatment in the criminal justice system, say Cambridge researchers, after a study suggests that one in two individuals arrested and detained in London may have undiagnosed attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and one in 20 may have undiagnosed autism.

Optogenetic tool helps decipher mechanisms of brain dysfunction in Huntington’s disease

Synaptic plasticity — the brain's ability to modify the connections between neurons to support learning — is one of the neural functions profoundly altered in Huntington's disease, with a direct impact on brain function.

Hidden infections may play a key role in driving long COVID symptoms

For millions suffering from long COVID, their persistent breathlessness, brain fog and fatigue remain a maddening mystery, but a group of leading microbiologists think they may have cracked the case.

Family history of cardiometabolic disease linked to early heart damage in adolescents

A new study among more than 1,500 British adolescents is the first in the world to assess the association between familial cardiometabolic diseases and the offspring's risk of premature heart damage by early adulthood.

Uterine fibroids linked to higher long-term heart disease risk in women

Long-term heart disease risk in women diagnosed with uterine fibroids was more than 80% higher than in women without fibroids, according to new independent research published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association, an open access, peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association.
