Medical Notes: How to Change Your Personality, Customizing Your Anxiety Treatment, and a Hidden Cause of Infertility

Inflammation in the Female Reproductive Tract May Be an Overlooked Cause of Infertility

New research in the journal Science Advances has found a correlation between low levels of progesterone and increased inflammation. These findings could pave the way for new treatments targeting inflammation-related fertility issues. (University of Missouri)

Ever Wish You Could See the World a Little Differently?

A new app may help by subtly shaping your personality. New research in Nature Scientific Reports explores how users can enhance their natural curiosity to boost daily motivation. The app prompts small but intentional changes in routine—like listening to a new podcast or trying a different recipe.
