When immunity suppresses appetite: decoding a gut–brain dialogue
Gastroenterology and Hepatology
By Elodie Vaz | Published on March 31, 2026 | 4 min read
Loss of appetite is a common symptom during intestinal infections, whether acute—such as gastroenteritis—or chronic, particularly in parasitic infections. Although well documented, the precise biological mechanisms behind this phenomenon have remained poorly understood. How does the immune system, in response to infection, al...

Hepatoblastoma: a combined strategy to target resistant forms
Gastroenterology and Hepatology
By Elodie Vaz | Published on March 27, 2026 | 4 min read
Hepatoblastoma is the most common liver cancer in children. Although standard treatment combining chemotherapy and surgery now cures about 80% of patients, some forms remain particularly aggressive. These tumors are characterized by rapid proliferation and resistance to conventional therapies, leaving clinicians with limited opti...

Cold and the heart: an underestimated risk for cardiovascular mortality
Cardiology and Vascular Medicine
By Elodie Vaz | Published on March 27, 2026 | 4 min read
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in many countries. While their classic determinants are well identified, the influence of environmental factors—particularly temperature—remains insufficiently integrated into prevention strategies. Yet exposure to extreme climatic conditions may significantly modulate the ri...

Infectious diseases remain one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. In this context, the rapid identification of bacterial infections is a critical challenge, especially as rising antimicrobial resistance requires early and targeted therapeutic decisions. However, current diagnostic tools—such as blood tests, imaging, mi...

Adolescence is a critical period for building bone mass. It is during this window that optimal bone mineral density is established, shaping future risk of fractures and osteoporosis. Any disruption to this process may therefore have long-term consequences. Among suspected environmental factors, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances...

Colorectal cancer remains a major public health issue. In the United States, more than 154,000 new cases are recorded each year, making it the third most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death. This heavy burden is largely due to late diagnosis, often when the disease is already advanced.
