Mounting evidence that weight loss can reduce cancer risk is reinforcing the established causal link between obesity and cancer, prompting experts to call for greater awareness of an association that remains underestimated.

"Our study serves as a call for action and a strong public health message to health care stakeholders to intensify efforts and resources to treat obesity as a chronic disease to help reduce the risk of developing cancer," wrote the authors of one of the latest studies, published in the journal Obesity, which highlighted reduced cancer risk with nonsurgical weight loss. https://mdsc.pe/4t6W0hE

S***m have long been thought of as streamlined DNA delivery vehicles, carrying little more than a father’s genes to the egg.

But a new study shows that in mice, s***m may transmit the father’s influence in another way.

During their passage through the epididymis, the coiled tube where they mature after leaving the te**es, s***m pick up messenger RNAs (mRNAs), RNA transcripts of genes that contain the genetic instructions for making proteins.

These mRNAs seem to be transferred to the fertilized egg, where they may affect the developing embryo.

Published in late 2025 in the journal Nature, a study of nearly 35,000 people represents a major step up in scale for human microbiome research: It identified and ranked gut bacterial species — both previously known and uncharacterized — that are associated with BMI, clinical health status, and dietary patterns.

To better understand how the gut microbiome is linked to diet and metabolic health, the researchers developed a score that ranks bacteria according to their association with good or poor health. They also carried out dietary interventions to examine their impact on bacterial profiles. https://mdsc.pe/42o1JoF

Gabapentinoids like gabapentin and pregabalin are associated with an increased risk for poisoning, with the highest risk occurring around treatment initiation and when combined with benzodiazepines or opioids.

In a large UK study of nearly 17,000 primary care patients, those who had co-initiation of gabapentinoids and benzodiazepines showed double the risk for hospitalization due to drug poisoning within the first month, whereas those with concomitant opioid use showed a 30% increased risk compared with those who took neither medication. https://mdsc.pe/4w6yUdZ
