Researchers discovered a link between impaired waste clearance in the brain and early neuronal degeneration in Alzheimer’s disease. The study revealed that the neurons responsible for waste clearance are the first to die in Alzheimer's.

A study reveals that sustained physical activity slows cognitive decline in older adults. Data from over 13,000 participants showed that regular, long-term activity reduces cognitive decline.

Since 1970, deaths from heart attacks have dropped nearly 90%, thanks to life-saving interventions and public health measures, according to a new study.

A clinical trial found that weekly doses of semaglutide – a medication typically prescribed to Type 2 diabetes patients – improved blood sugar levels and weight loss for adult Type 1 diabetes patients.

A new, far less invasive capsule sponge test to detect early cancer signs could safely replace the use of regular endoscopies for over half of all patients with Barrett’s oesophagus, a known precursor to oesophageal cancer.

Researchers demonstrate a pen-like tool that can quickly and non-invasively collect molecules from the skin’s surface to be screened for opioids with mass spectrometry.

A study by the University of Gothenburg found that newborns have elevated levels of p-tau217, a protein fragment linked to Alzheimer’s disease. The protein’s rise in infants is thought to support brain development, particularly in synapse formation.

Researchers discovered that a redox-sensitive form of the protein HMGB1 circulates in the blood and spreads cellular senescence to distant tissues. This process contributes to age-related decline and could be targeted therapeutically.

Researchers from Lurie Children’s Hospital identified several proteins in the umbilical cord blood of preterm infants that signal early onset sepsis. Their findings offer a noninvasive, objective way to diagnose sepsis.

Recent studies have demonstrated that smartwatches’ health apps and sensors provide enough information to accurately predict when a person has become infected with a disease like COVID-19 or the flu, even within as few as 12 hours after infection.
