The UT San Antonio School of Dentistry is co-leading a new national center, collaborating with the University of Alabama at Birmingham, the University of Rochester and others, and funded by nearly $2 million from the National Institutes of Health, that initially may provide an alternative to root canal procedures. 

Workers in the U.S. are feeling the strain of stress and economic uncertainty, and nearly two in five U.S. workers (37%) believe their work environment has a negative impact on their mental health — a significant increase since last year, when a third of workers (32%) felt the same, according to the American Psychological Association’s 2026 Work in America™ survey.  

According to the paper, lifestyle medicine's full potential has been limited by inconsistent documentation of health behaviors and lifestyle interventions across clinical settings and electronic health record systems. The paper calls for the use of standardized assessments, interoperable coding systems, and common data elements that allow information to be shared and analyzed across organizations.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 10 million people contract tuberculosis (TB) each year—one of the deadliest infectious diseases worldwide. Treatment is lengthy and typically involves a combination of several antibiotics over many months. Particularly problematic are drug-resistant strains, against which the antibiotics used are only partially effective. New active compounds capable of overcoming existing resistance are therefore urgently needed. An international team led by the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS), the Institut Pasteur and Université Paris Cité has now demonstrated that the natural compound corramycin has a previously unknown effect against the tuberculosis pathogen and attacks it in a novel way. The researchers published their findings in the journal Advanced Science.

Scientists at Silent Spring Institute have identified 485 chemicals used in pesticide products that could increase breast cancer risk. The list includes active ingredients as well as hundreds of so-called “inert” or inactive ingredients, which typically evade safety testing. The findings could inform policies to strengthen how pesticides are regulated in the U.S. and ensure that pesticide formulations are properly evaluated for their potential to cause breast cancer.
