- Common medications may change your gut for yearson 24/08/2026 at 1:14 pm
Common medications may reshape the gut microbiome long after the last dose is taken. In a study of more than 2,500 people, researchers found lasting microbial changes linked not only to antibiotics, but also to antidepressants, beta-blockers, acid-reducing drugs, and benzodiazepines. Some effects were still detectable years later, suggesting past medication use may strongly influence the gut bacteria people carry today.

- A major Alzheimer’s risk gene may shrink brain cells years before symptomson 23/08/2026 at 3:15 pm
Researchers have uncovered a possible reason why the Alzheimer’s risk gene APOE4 can disrupt the brain long before memory problems begin. In mice, APOE4 increased a protein called Nell2, shrinking neurons and making memory circuits unusually active. That early hyperactivity predicted worse memory later in life. Reducing Nell2 in adult mice reversed the abnormal changes, raising hopes for a new way to intervene before Alzheimer’s progresses.
- The dental crown of the future could be 3D-printed while you waiton 23/08/2026 at 2:36 pm

- A hidden “on switch” in human DNA has finally been decodedon 23/08/2026 at 12:14 pm
Researchers have used AI to uncover the DNA signature of a key genetic “switch” involved in turning genes on. After analyzing about 500,000 DNA sequences, the model identified the initiator in roughly 60% of human genes. The breakthrough could help predict the effects of harmful mutations and eventually contribute to decoding the broader genetic instructions that control gene activity throughout the body.
- Experimental compound helps burn fat without muscle losson 23/08/2026 at 10:24 am
A decades-old compound may point to a new way of treating obesity by making the body burn more energy rather than simply reducing appetite. In mice, TOFA increased energy use by as much as 18%, reduced body fat without significant muscle loss, and improved blood sugar, triglycerides, and fatty liver disease. It also produced stronger results when combined with GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound.
- Cannabis use linked to 37% higher stroke risk in massive studyon 23/08/2026 at 5:33 am

Older adults with mild cognitive impairment and sleep problems who took at least 5,000 IU of vitamin D daily scored more than 13% higher on a cognitive test than those taking none. The preliminary findings suggest vitamin D could be worth studying as a potentially modifiable factor during an early window of cognitive decline.
- This shark can live 400 years. Its eyes barely seem to ageon 23/08/2026 at 3:14 am
Greenland sharks may live for 400 years without suffering the kind of retinal decline normally associated with aging. Researchers found healthy eye tissue and active proteins specially adapted for seeing blue light in the dim Arctic depths. DNA repair mechanisms may help keep their eyes functioning across centuries. The discovery could eventually offer new clues for protecting human vision as we age.
- Quitting alcohol may prime the brain for relapseon 23/08/2026 at 2:46 am
Mice that developed compulsive drinking after alcohol abstinence showed more than double the activity in a brain region associated with stress and addiction. Because the signal appeared before they drank again, researchers think it could eventually help predict who is most at risk of relapse.
- Peppermint oil lowers blood pressure in just 20 dayson 22/08/2026 at 2:08 pm
Peppermint oil may have an unexpected benefit for people with mildly high blood pressure. Adults who took a small dose twice daily for 20 days saw their systolic blood pressure fall by an average of 8.5 mmHg, while a placebo group showed little change. Researchers say the inexpensive oil could eventually provide a simple additional option for managing elevated blood pressure.
- Exercise may work better for keeping weight off than losing iton 22/08/2026 at 1:55 pm
Exercise may not be a powerful weight-loss tool on its own, but it appears to play a much bigger role in preventing lost weight from returning. By preserving muscle, supporting metabolism, improving fat burning, and regulating appetite and blood sugar, regular activity can make long-term weight maintenance easier.
- Multilingual people may have brains up to 13 years youngeron 22/08/2026 at 1:12 pm

- This yeast supplement may boost cancer-fighting immunityon 22/08/2026 at 10:34 am
A simple yeast-based food supplement may help restore the immune system’s ability to fight cancer, according to new research in mice.

- Tooth count may predict survival after pancreatic cancer surgeryon 22/08/2026 at 3:29 am
Pancreatic cancer patients with at least 21 natural teeth survived nearly two years longer after surgery than those with fewer teeth in a study of 339 people. Researchers suspect tooth loss may reflect decades of inflammation, frailty, nutrition, and other factors tied to the body’s overall resilience.
- This gut microbe may help keep you strong as you ageon 22/08/2026 at 2:27 am
Scientists have linked a specific gut bacterium, Roseburia inulinivorans, to stronger muscles in both humans and mice. Older adults who carried it had 29% greater handgrip strength, while treated mice gained about 30% more grip strength and developed larger, more fast-twitch muscle fibers. The bacterium was also less common in older people. Researchers say it could eventually become a probiotic candidate for helping combat age-related muscle loss.

- 3 minutes of sprinting does something 90 minutes of exercise does noton 21/08/2026 at 12:17 pm
A few minutes of sprinting may reshape the bloodstream far more dramatically than a much longer moderate workout. Six 30-second sprints altered nearly a quarter of the blood proteins measured and more than 200 metabolites, while 90 minutes of moderate cycling produced far smaller immediate changes. Many of the proteins affected by sprinting were also associated with lower risks of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic diseases.
- This weight-loss hormone may protect the liver even without weight losson 21/08/2026 at 11:38 am
A hormone already known for curbing appetite and supporting weight loss may have a surprising second job: protecting the liver from inflammation and scarring. Researchers at McMaster University found that GDF15 activates a previously unknown brain-to-liver pathway that triggers the release of glucocorticoids, helping calm immune activity in the liver.
- AI may know how you’ll respond to a vaccine before you get iton 21/08/2026 at 10:59 am
AI may be able to predict how strongly someone will respond to a vaccine before they receive it.

- Scientists discover how gut bacteria “train” the intestine to fight inflammationon 21/08/2026 at 12:10 am
A compound made when gut bacteria break down dietary fiber may do more than briefly calm inflammation—it could leave a lasting protective “memory” in the gut. Northwestern Medicine researchers found that butyrate can reprogram intestinal lining cells so they continue encouraging anti-inflammatory immune responses even after the compound is gone. In mice, this effect boosted production of the immune-calming molecule IL-10 and reduced the severity of colitis-like disease.

- Researchers reveal deeper workings of brain’s information hubon 20/08/2026 at 12:38 am
The brain has a remarkably flexible system for handling uncertainty and changing situations. Researchers found that the frontoparietal cortex constantly shifts how it communicates with other brain regions depending on what information is needed to make a decision. Rather than simply becoming more active when things get difficult, this network appears to reorganize itself in real time.
- A mother’s age can shape her offspring without changing their DNAon 19/08/2026 at 11:44 pm

- Scientists reveal why walking gets so much harder with ageon 16/08/2026 at 9:13 am
As we age, the body appears to sacrifice walking efficiency in exchange for stability. Older adults stiffen the ankle more with each step, which may help prevent falls but also forces the muscles to work harder while producing less forward motion. This leads to shorter strides, slower walking, and faster fatigue. Exercises targeting balance, coordination, and lower-leg strength could help preserve mobility.
