Exploring the genetic factors that make golden retrievers more susceptible to cancer than other dog breeds, researchers identified a gene associated with longevity that’s related to a gene that causes cancer cells to grow quickly in humans. The discove… Continue reading Longevity gene in golden retrievers related to human cancer gene
Researchers have identified cell-specific proteins in eye fluid and used AI to determine which proteins accelerated aging in particular diseases. Understanding the cellular origin of these disease-driving proteins may lead to precision treatments and m… Continue reading Technique that determines ‘eye age’ could lead to precision treatments
The latest findings from phase 3 clinical trials of tirzepatide, sold as Mounjaro, have demonstrated that if taken after an initial weight loss brought about by diet and lifestyle changes, the drug can lead to significant additional weight reduction.Co… Continue reading Lifestyle intervention plus Mounjaro leads to additional weight loss
New research has linked long-term exposure to fine particle air pollution, whether at home or work, to an increased risk of breast cancer. The findings add to the mounting evidence about the dangers of air pollution and highlight the need to reduce it…. Continue reading Long-term air pollution exposure increases breast cancer risk by 28%
Researchers have created a paint containing living cyanobacteria that produces oxygen and can capture carbon dioxide. The bacteria’s ability to withstand extreme environments means this novel paint could be used in a range of applications, including ou… Continue reading ‘Green living paint’ produces oxygen and captures carbon dioxide
A new study has found that short blood pressure fluctuations – across a day or several days – increase the risk of dementia in older adults. The findings suggest that blood pressure variability could serve as an early clinical marker of cognitive impai… Continue reading Fluctuating blood pressure increases risk of dementia in older people
Researchers have scanned the brains of adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder, OCD, while they performed decision-making tasks and identified the specific areas affected by the condition. The study sheds light on the biological basis of OCD and… Continue reading MRI scans reveal OCD alters the brain’s decision-making mechanisms
A new study has found that incorporating virtual reality into therapy for hoarding disorder, allowing people to virtually dispose of clutter, reduced symptoms and increased real-life discarding of objects. It suggests the technology could provide an ef… Continue reading Virtual reality proves effective at helping hoarders declutter
Researchers have found that a naturally occurring compound enhanced fertility in older female mice by reversing age-related reproductive cell decline, causing them to produce larger litters. The discovery could one day aid in developing treatments to i… Continue reading Naturally occurring anti-aging compound enhances fertility in older mice
Researchers have combined diagnostics and therapeutics, using radioactive monoclonal antibodies to find and destroy a particularly lethal form of pancreatic cancer. The one-two punch provided by the novel approach could pave the way for earlier detecti… Continue reading ‘Theranostics’ approach seeks and destroys deadly pancreatic cancer
