New insights into the cellular programs that promote resolution of inflammation during aging
Aging is associated with chronic, nonresolving inflammation, or "inflammaging," that can lead to tissue dysfunction.
Couples often share high blood pressure, study finds
If one spouse or partner in a heterosexual couple has high blood pressure, the other partner often does too, according to new research published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association, an open access, peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association.
HDAC inhibitors may offer new strategy for reversing fibrotic wall around pancreatic tumors
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers-;only about one in eight patients survives five years after diagnosis.
Military personnel repeatedly exposed to blasts show increased brain inflammation and structural changes
The brains of special warfare community personnel repeatedly exposed to blasts show increased inflammation and structural changes compared with a control group, potentially increasing the risk of long-term, brain-related disease, according to a new study.
Twice daily electrical stimulation boosts brain plasticity and improves memory in Alzheimer's patients
Twice daily non-invasive electrical stimulation of the brain may boost mental processes (cognitive function) in people with Alzheimer's disease, suggest the results of a small clinical trial published online in the open access journal General Psychiatry.

Orbitofrontal cortex holds clues for understanding and preventing depression
New research published in JCCP Advances indicates that experiencing negative life events (NLE) during childhood is linked with a higher risk of developing symptoms of depression during young adulthood.
Housing instability heightens Alzheimer's risk in veterans
In a recent study published in Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, Veterans with housing instability were 53% more likely to receive a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia (ADRD) than those with stable housing.

Anti-obesity medications may offer survival benefits for osteoarthritis patients
New research published in Arthritis & Rheumatology suggests that for people overweight or with obesity who also have knee or hip osteoarthritis, a slow-to-moderate-;but not fast-;rate of weight loss caused by anti-obesity medications may lower their risk of premature death.
Brain stimulation offers promise for prospective memory deficits in schizophrenia
Most people with schizophrenia have extensive impairment of memory, including prospective memory, which is the ability to remember to perform future activities.
