A new cancer-detecting blood test has been found to catch five common types of cancer up to four years before any other conventional diagnostic tool. Further verification is needed before the test is clinically available but the researchers suggest thi… Continue reading Cancer blood test catches disease 4 years before conventional methods
A massive systematic review encompassing hundreds of clinical trials and observational studies has zeroed in on the 10 most common risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers suggest avoiding these 10 factors could play a significant role in preventing the onset of Alzheimer’s.

A landmark study, led by researchers from Massachusetts Eye and Ear, presents a novel hypothesis to explain age-related hearing loss, challenging the prevailing view that has dominated over half a century of medical science. The new research offers evi… Continue reading Hair-regrowth tech could reverse main cause of age-related hearing loss
Initial human trial results for a promising COVID-19 vaccine have been been published in the journal The Lancet. The vaccine, developed at Oxford University, has so far been found to be safe and induce the two key immune responses needed to protect aga… Continue reading Oxford’s COVID-19 vaccine is safe and induces immune response
A popular form of intermittent fasting is called time-restricted feeding (TRF), and it involves consuming all one’s daily calories in a small window of time. The most common type of TRF is an eight-hour daily feeding window, known as the 16:8 diet, but… Continue reading Clinical trial compares two popular types of intermittent fasting diets
New research out of Stanford University suggests erasing memories associated with opioid addiction could eliminate the triggers that lead to drug cravings and relapse into addiction. A fascinating animal study has demonstrated that by blocking a specif… Continue reading Erasing drug reward memories points to new approach for addiction
Robust new research is suggesting a high-fat diet and antibiotic use work together synergistically to promote the type of gut microbiome imbalance that can lead to bowel inflammation. The study sheds light on the causal mechanisms by which environmenta… Continue reading How antibiotics and a high-fat diet can drive gut inflammation
A large gene study has discovered several genomic regions linked to longer and healthier lives are also involved in metabolizing iron in the blood. The research suggests abnormal blood iron levels may fundamentally underpin many age-related diseases.

Researchers looking for blood-based biomarkers that could predict rheumatoid arthritis flare-ups have unexpectedly discovered a never-before-seen type of cell. Dubbed PRIME cells, they were seen to accumulate in the bloodstream seven days before a flar… Continue reading Significant new cell discovery predicts rheumatoid arthritis flare-ups
New research is illustrating the differences in toxic protein accumulations in the brains of older subjects suffering cognitive decline compared to older subjects with unexpectedly strong cognitive abilities. An image compiled from PET scans of these so-called “super-agers” has won Image of the Year from the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging.
