BNP predicts kidney disease progression risk in diabetes patients
The relationship between cardiovascular dysfunction and renal impairment is widely recognized as the cardiorenal interaction, a complex physiological link in which damage to one organ can accelerate deterioration in the other.
No link between Covid-19 vaccines and sudden cardiac death
The study reveals COVID-19 vaccines do not increase sudden cardiac death risk in youth, highlighting the importance of accurate health messaging.
Breast reduction surgery is linked to lower diabetes and heart risk
Findings suggest breast reduction surgery is associated with lower long-term diabetes and cardiovascular risks, enhancing women's metabolic health.
Study reveals genetic impact of Agent Orange on bone marrow cancers
More than 50 years after Agent Orange was used in Vietnam, a new national study published online ahead of print in Blood Advances highlights the genetic changes that link exposure to Agent Orange to myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a group of bone marrow cancers that can progress to acute leukemia.
Palmatine improved fatty liver markers in a preclinical type 2 diabetes study
Researchers used a bioinformatics-plus-rat-model approach to investigate how palmatine may help treat T2DM-associated MASLD, identifying five core targets: ADRB2, BCL3, EGR1, FOS, and MAP3K8. In rats, palmatine improved liver injury, inflammation, oxidative stress, glycolipid metabolism, steatosis, and fibrosis, while reducing apoptosis-related signaling, providing a preclinical foundation for further therapeutic study.
Scientists discover similarities in brain aging between mice and humans
By scanning the brains of mice throughout their lifespans, scientists at Columbia's Zuckerman Institute and the University of Texas at Dallas have discovered that the human brain is not unique in how it changes with age.
Study revises the understanding of neutrophil dynamics during respiratory viral infection
Neutrophil infiltration is a hallmark of pulmonary inflammation during respiratory viral infections, yet the origin of these cells has been a subject of debate.
COVID-19 learning losses could deepen class gaps for years
COVID-19 school closures are projected to reduce educational attainment and weaken intergenerational mobility, with children from less advantaged backgrounds facing the greatest losses. The paper’s simulations suggest that unequal access to continued learning during the pandemic could deepen educational inequality and reverse mobility gains, especially in the absence of remedial recovery measures.
Mediterranean diet may protect health through mitochondrial microproteins
A new study led by researchers at the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology suggests that the benefits of the Mediterranean diet may be driven, in part, by tiny proteins hidden within our mitochondria, opening a new window into how diet shapes aging and disease risk.
Snus linked to gum damage but tooth decay risk unclear
Snus is clearly linked to damage to the gums. The connection to tooth decay, however, remains unclear, according to a systematic review. When it comes to white snus, more studies are needed.
New models predict biological age using blood and microbiome
A new research paper was published in Volume 18 of Aging-US on March 12, 2026, titled "Blood biochemical and gut microbiotic neural network models forecasting human biological age."
Swedish study paints a more nuanced picture of Japan's long life expectancy
Although people in Japan tend to live long lives, this does not necessarily mean they are healthier than other populations.
New mechanism driving glioblastoma growth offers potential treatment targets
Australian researchers have uncovered a critical mechanism driving the growth and spread of glioblastoma – one of the most aggressive and lethal forms of brain cancer – potentially paving the way for more effective treatments.
Research reveals potential new strategy for targeting deadly small cell neuroendocrine cancers
UCLA researchers have uncovered a hidden weakness in some of the deadliest cancers, revealing a potential new strategy for targeting tumors that have long resisted treatment.
Leaving home may worsen diet quality in young adults, Australian study finds
Australian longitudinal data suggest that leaving the parental home is associated with a small decline in overall diet quality and a short-term rise in discretionary food intake during the transition from adolescence to adulthood. The study also found that diet quality tended to worsen most among those moving in with a partner, while the discretionary-food gap narrowed over time.
Aging and Parkinson’s impact brain and muscle activity during balance recovery
Lena Ting, from Emory University, and colleagues explored how brain and muscle activity during balance recovery change due to aging and Parkinson's.
Study highlights neurological and psychiatric impacts of long COVID
Nearly three years after the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic was declared over, conservative estimates suggest that between 80 million and 400 million people worldwide have long COVID.
Mild hypoxia in preterm infants linked to lifelong memory issues
During intensive care after preterm births, babies can experience low oxygen in their tissue and cells-or hypoxia.
New dual blood test reduces false positives in Alzheimer's screening
Alzheimer's disease is characterised by the accumulation of two proteins in the brain: amyloid-beta and tau.
