Heavier drinking linked to higher levels of harmful “hidden” fat, study finds

A study of more than 5,700 adults suggests that higher alcohol consumption is associated with increased levels of visceral fat - the type of fat stored deep inside the abdomen and linked to poorer health outcomes.

DNA-damaging formaldehyde accelerates blood ageing by extinction of stem cells

Researchers from the University of Oxford, the German Cancer Research Center, and Hospital Saint-Louis have uncovered a surprising new way that blood stem cells are lost over time, offering fresh insight into ageing and diseases that affect blood production.

Oxford University spinout Dark Blue Therapeutics acquired to advance leukaemia treatment

Oxford University spinout Dark Blue Therapeutics has been acquired by global biotechnology company Amgen in a deal worth up to US$840 million, marking a major milestone for Oxford-led cancer research and innovation.

Sleep apnoea: not just an airway problem but an exemplar of a systems-medicine complex disorder

Obstructive sleep apnoea is one of the most common conditions occurring in sleep medicine, traditionally understood as a mechanical problem: during sleep, the upper airway is obstructed, interrupting breathing and oxygen supply. Treatments have largely focused on this anatomy, particularly through continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy.

Study suggests blood pressure care after giving birth could protect brain health

Women who develop high blood pressure during pregnancy may be able to protect their long term brain health through better blood pressure management soon after giving birth, according to a new study by Oxford researchers.
