Investigating the relationship between diet, gut bacteria and systemic inflammation, a team of Stanford University researchers has found just a few weeks of following a diet rich in fermented foods can lead to improvements in microbiome diversity and r… Continue reading Fermented vs. high-fiber diet microbiome study delivers surprising results
After more than a decade of development researchers at UC San Francisco have demonstrated, for the first time, a brain implant turning neural activity into full words. The first participant in the trial, a paralyzed man in his 30s, can now speak with a… Continue reading First ever thought-to-speech brain implant successfully trialed

When will COVID-19 vaccine booster shots be necessary? Pfizer has recently claimed a third booster dose of its vaccine may be needed six to 12 months after full vaccination but not everyone is convinced, with new research finding mRNA vaccines could of… Continue reading To boost or not to boost? The big COVID-19 vaccine question
New research led by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is estimating around 740,000 newly diagnosed cases of cancer last year can be attributed to alcohol consumption. The research calls for greater public health strategies to raise… Continue reading 741,000 new cancer cases linked to alcohol consumption, study estimates
A landmark study published in the journal Nature Communications is describing the extraordinarily successful results of a Phase 1 trial testing a targeted gene therapy for children with a rare genetic disease. The research demonstrates a novel method f… Continue reading Gene therapy success offers hope for reversing rare genetic diseases
New research from the Stanford University School of Medicine and the Buck Institute for Research on Aging is demonstrating a new tool that can calculate a person’s immune system age. The findings suggest tracking the degree of low-grade chronic inflamm… Continue reading Tool that calculates immune system age could predict frailty and disease
An impressive new study from a team of Australian researchers has identified the novel mechanism behind immune exhaustion. The findings point to a treatment method that could improve the success of cancer immunotherapy and help patients beat back sever… Continue reading Understanding “marathon” cells key to waking up exhausted immune system
