A study of 13,126 participants from the UK Biobank found that individuals diagnosed with diabetes after age 50 had a lower risk of all-cause dementia compared to those diagnosed before 50. The protective effect was strongest among those with high genetic risk for dementia or carrying the APOE ε4 allele. These results highlight the importance of early diabetes management and personalized prevention strategies for high-risk groups.

A new online library analyzes biological samples from patients to directly detect what drugs they have been exposed to beyond what is listed in their medical record.

Bonn, 9 December 2025 – When we are hungry, our mood often drops – a phenomenon colloquially known as “hangry.” A new study by the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University of Bonn, and the University Hospital Center Tübingen now shows that this connection is not caused by unconscious metabolic processes. Rather, the decisive factor is that the lack of energy is consciously perceived as hunger – it is this conscious feeling of hunger that leads to a worse mood. The results have now been published in the journal eBioMedicine.
