Researchers at the San Carlos Clinical Hospital in Madrid may have targeted a potential solution for hair loss.
A recent study analyzed the effect of injecting mice's skin with stem cells from human fat — «adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs)» — as a means of treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA), more commonly known as male- or female-pattern hair loss.
The team found that male mice achieved the best hair regrowth after three weeks when they received low-dose ASCs, combined with an energy-boosting molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
HAIRSTYLISTS AND MEDICAL EXPERT CONFIRM TEMPORARY HAIR LOSS AFFECTING OZEMPIC USERS
Low-dose and high-dose ASC treatments along with ATP led to no hair regrowth improvement in females, but medium-dose ASC plus ATP led to greater regrowth.
The researchers concluded that hair regrowth was improved in «all experimental groups» where male mice received stem cell solutions supplemented with ATP.
The findings were published in the journal Stem Cell Re..

A spike in viral infections has sickened thousands of travelers and caused several deaths at some popular European destinations.
Four countries — Austria, Czechia, Hungary and Slovakia — have reported a spike in hepatitis A cases between January and May 2025, according to a rapid risk assessment issued by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).
In total, 2,097 cases have been reported across the four countries.
WHAT IS HEPATITIS?
Slovakia, which has been dealing with an active outbreak since 2022, represents 880 of those cases. Czechia is the next most affected country, reporting 600 cases and six deaths, the ECDC stated. Hungary has reported 530 cases in 2025, and Austria has reported 87.
Hepatitis A is an «acute viral liver disease» caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV), according to the agency.
The disease is mainly spread through contaminated food or water, or through close contact with infected people.

Psilocybin, the main psychoactive ingredient in magic mushrooms, could alleviate depression for at least five years after just one dose, according to a new study.
The research, presented June 18 at the Psychedelic Science 2025 conference in Denver, followed up with patients who had been diagnosed with clinical depression — also known as major depressive disorder (MDD) — and had participated in a previous psilocybin treatment study in 2020.
«Most people who participated in our trial reported improvements in depression symptom intensity or in the ways in which they experienced depression in their life, lasting up to five years after the trial,» study co-author Alan Davis, director of the Center for Psychedelic Drug Research and Education at The Ohio State University, told Fox News Digital.

An experimental weight-loss medication was shown to help people lose nearly 25% of their body weight in early-stage 1a/2b trials.
The drug, amycretin — developed by Novo Nordisk — works by replicating two hunger hormones — amylin, which regulates appetite and creates a feeling of fullness, and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), the same hormone that is used in Ozempic and Wegovy to suppress appetite and boost insulin secretion.
«Amycretin is the first treatment to harness the two distinct biological pathways stimulated by amylin and GLP-1 in a single molecule,» Martin Holst Lange, executive vice president and head of development at Novo Nordisk, previously said in a statement sent to Fox News Digital.

Taking longer walks could actually improve back pain, according to a new study.
Researchers in Norway investigated how chronic low back pain, a «prevalent and costly condition,» could be reduced by regular physical activity, including accessible walking.
The study, published in the journal JAMA Network Open, measured daily walking volume and walking intensity among more than 11,000 participants over the age of 20.
‘I’M A SPINAL SURGEON – HERE'S HOW YOUR POSTURE IS KILLING YOUR BACK'
The participants then reported any incidences of lower back pain lasting three months or longer in the past year.
Walking for more than 100 minutes per day resulted in a 23% lower risk of pain compared to walking less than 78 minutes per day, according to the results.

Walking intensity was also associated with chronic lower back pain risk, but to a «lesser degree» than walking volume, researchers noted.

Diabetes is the leading cause of vision loss in people between 18 and 64 years old, according to the American Diabetes Association — and the best way to prevent this is to control blood sugar levels.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s), such as Ozempic and Mounjaro, have become popular medications for controlling diabetes and treating obesity — but new Canadian research suggests they can also lead to a paradoxical side effect in the form of eye problems.

A retrospective study conducted from January 2020 to November 2023 included more than 139,000 diabetic patients, some of whom were taking GLP-1s for at least six months and some who were not taking the medications over a three-year period.
The average age of the participants was 66 years old, and approximately 47% were women.
Researchers found that the participants taking the weight-loss medications had twice the risk of d..

Some may assume that losing teeth is just part of growing older.
Around 11% of adults between the ages of 65 and 74 have lost all of their teeth, according to 2020 data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — and that number rises to one in five at age 75 and older.
But according to experts, this isn’t inevitable. Dental professionals shared the following tips to prevent tooth loss and boost overall health.
About two in three adults over age 65 are dealing with some form of gum disease, according to a recently published AARP report.

A 66-year-old grandfather who exercised daily was stunned to learn he was pre-diabetic — and he says making one small change to his eating habits helped reverse it.
Dance teacher Will McKechnie, from Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, told SWNS he had always considered himself healthy.
At 5 feet 10 inches tall and 167 pounds, he wore a medium-sized shirt, danced seven times a week, and didn't think twice about his daily snacks: a chocolate bar and a bag of chips.

«I honestly thought I was really fit and healthy,» McKechnie said.
But after undergoing a free screening for people over 60 in May 2023, a routine blood test showed that his average blood sugar level was 6.2% — an indicator of pre-diabetes, according to SWNS.
McKechnie didn’t find out until a year later, during an unrelated appointment, when his doctor reviewed the results.
«I was so shocked and worried to hear I was pre-diabetic,» he said.

Your daily meal selections could influence the quality of your sleep, new research says.
A study from the University of Chicago Medicine and Columbia University found that increasing your intake of fruits and vegetables could help promote more restful sleep.
Previous research has shown that people who lack quality sleep may be more likely to indulge in unhealthy foods that are high in fat and sugar — and now this new finding sheds more light on how consumed foods impact sleep.
