Study: Multiple dietary patterns linked to slower biological aging

A study by DZNE finds that healthy eating is associated with slower biological aging-and that there is more than one way to eat healthily.

Specialized imaging technique detects most clinically relevant prostate cancers

An elevated PSA level in the blood may indicate prostate cancer, but does not yet allow for a definitive diagnosis.

Norwegian scientists harvest super donor cells to fight diverse diseases

Cells from nine "super donors" are being collected in Oslo. The aim is for these to be used to repair or replace damaged cells, tissue and organs in people suffering from conditions ranging from heart attacks to Parkinson's disease.

Novel blood test could detect pancreatic cancer at its earliest stages

Researchers at City of Hope, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the country, led the development of a new, investigational blood test that could detect pancreatic cancer at its earliest stages, when the disease is more treatable and potentially curable.

Study illuminates the link between the Epstein-Barr virus and multiple sclerosis

A new study illuminates the connection between the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and multiple sclerosis (MS), pointing to a causal role for reactivation of the virus in triggering MS attacks in people with certain genetic risk factors.

Peer-reviewed study shows six times lower blood damage in Realheart® TAH than market-leading device in vitro

Scandinavian Real Heart AB (publ) announces today that a study sponsored by the company has been published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Scientific Reports, showing that the Realheart® TAH causes about six times less blood damage (hemolysis) than the only FDA-approved artificial heart device currently in wide clinical use.

Could a daily glass of orange juice support heart health? Study finds citrus compounds influence genes linked to blood vessel function

Naturally occurring compounds in orange juice regulated genes involved in the control of cardiovascular and blood vessel function, according to a new clinical trial.

Biological mechanisms validate structured exercise as therapeutic in oncology care

Structured exercise may help people with cancer live longer and have more time free of disease, finds a synthesis of the available evidence, published online in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

Exercise usually helps the brain. During a 15-day fast, the story was different

In a 28-day controlled study of 22 healthy adults, 15 days of complete fasting produced a glucose-to-ketone metabolic shift and selectively affected attention and implicit learning while time perception remained relatively stable. Moderate-intensity exercise during early fasting was associated with poorer performance on some learning measures, while fasting also increased sleepiness and reduced calmness at some time points.

Why frailty and heart health may be more closely connected than we thought

A narrative review proposes cardiovascular frailty as a distinct phenotype that brings together blood pressure regulation, vascular aging, oxi-inflammaging, and clinical frailty deficits. The authors argue that a validated cardiovascular frailty index could support earlier detection and personalized care, although longitudinal studies are needed before the concept can be used clinically.

What children eat may leave a measurable signature in their blood

Researchers analyzed 236 blood metabolites in 421 children to examine metabolic signatures associated with three dietary patterns characterized by core foods, animal protein sources, or poor-quality fats and sugars. The results identified distinct, biologically plausible metabolite patterns across dietary exposures, although most individual associations did not survive multiple-testing correction and require validation in independent cohorts.

Living in disadvantaged neighborhoods linked to adverse brain health

In a study analyzing nearly 3,000 brain MRI exams, researchers found that living in highly disadvantaged neighborhoods was associated with adverse brain health.

Advanced AI cell models redefine modern cell biology research

Researchers at Stanford Medicine have developed two new artificial intelligence models of the biological cell.

Natural anti-NMDAR1 antibody may protect the brain following traumatic brain injury

Every year, an estimated 20 million people worldwide sustain a concussion or other traumatic brain injury (TBI), which leads to a two- to four-fold increase in the risk of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Cardiovascular disease surpasses cancer as top killer of Hispanic populations in the U.S.

Cardiovascular disease has surpassed cancer as the leading cause of death among Hispanic adults in the U.S., driven by rising rates of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and other risk factors that often begin earlier in life for Hispanic people.

Study uncovers how interferon-alpha treats rare blood cancers

The biologic drug interferon-alpha can benefit patients with blood cancers called myeloproliferative neoplasms by forcing mutant blood stem cells to become shorter-lived white blood cells, according to a study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

Study explains why Amazonian Indigenous populations show low dementia prevalence

In two Indigenous communities living pre-industrial lifestyles in the Bolivian Amazon, dementia is remarkably uncommon.

Genetic variant accelerates Huntington’s disease onset by over a decade

A new study has revealed why some people with Huntington disease develop symptoms 10 to 12 years earlier and experience a more aggressive form of the disease.

Bacterial strains determine pneumonia and meningitis risk from air pollution

Air pollution leads to different risk of bacterial pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis, depending on the subtype of bacteria a person has, new research suggests.

Menopause may not drive rising pulse pressure and midlife aortic stiffness in women

Contradicting conventional wisdom, menopause may not be the driving force behind an increase in aortic stiffness in women after midlife, according to new, independent research published today in Hypertension, a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Heart Association journal.
