Study reveals vitamin C’s role in strengthening aging skin

The skin acts as the body's first line of defense against external threats. However, as we age, the epidermis-the outermost layer of skin-gradually becomes thinner and loses its protective strength.

TET1 identified as key regulator in cancer and chronic disease

Recent findings shed new light on the critical role of TET1, a pivotal player in epigenetic regulation, in the development and progression of various clinical diseases.

Using machine learning to map brain aging at the cellular level

In a comprehensive Genomic Press interview, Stanford University researcher Eric Sun reveals how machine learning is revolutionizing our understanding of brain aging at an unprecedented cellular resolution.

Newborns and Alzheimer's patients have elevated blood levels of phosphorylated tau

Newborn babies and patients with Alzheimer's disease share an unexpected biological trait: elevated levels of a well-known biomarker for Alzheimer's.

Study identifies potential way to slow or block progression of age-related macular degeneration

A new study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis identifies a possible way to slow or block progression of age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness in people over age 50.

Diabetes drug semaglutide shows promise in reducing dementia risk

Researchers at the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine have found that semaglutide, a popular diabetes and weight-loss drug, may lower the risk of dementia in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Protective gene variant slows Alzheimer’s by taming brain inflammation

A rare gene mutation that delays Alzheimer's disease does so by damping inflammatory signaling in brain-resident immune cells, according to a preclinical study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Many older people embrace vaccines. Research is proving them right.

Kim Beckham, an insurance agent in Victoria, Texas, had seen friends suffer so badly from shingles that she wanted to receive the first approved shingles vaccine as soon as it became available, even if she had to pay for it out-of-pocket.

Assessment of insulin resistance using TyG index flags rapid cognitive decline in Alzheimer's patients

Insulin resistance detected by routine triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index can flag people with early Alzheimer's who are four times more likely to present rapid cognitive decline, according to new research presented at the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) Congress 2025.

Researchers use electric fields to identify aged cells

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new way of telling "aged" human cells apart from younger ones using electric fields.

Study reveals intercellular flow as crucial factor in tissue mechanics

Water makes up around 60 percent of the human body. More than half of this water sloshes around inside the cells that make up organs and tissues. Much of the remaining water flows in the nooks and crannies between cells, much like seawater between grains of sand.

Targeting ST6Gal-I shows promise in reducing Alzheimer’s disease pathology

A recent study published in Engineering has provided novel insights into the involvement of α2,6-sialylation in Alzheimer's disease (AD), revealing that the ablation of α2,6-sialyltransferase-I (ST6Gal-I), an enzyme responsible for α2,6-sialylation, can downregulate BACE1 expression and suppress the production of amyloid-β42 (Aβ42) plaques, which are hallmarks of AD.

New 3D immunohistochemistry method enhances deep tissue imaging

Three dimensional immunohistochemistry (3D-IHC) has transformed our ability to visualize the spatial arrangement of cells and molecules in intact tissues.

Why Alzheimer’s DNA tests don’t treat all populations equally

A major global study tested whether European-derived polygenic risk scores (PGS) for Alzheimer’s disease can predict risk across diverse populations. While PGS performed well in many groups, it was less accurate in individuals of sub-Saharan African and Indian ancestry, highlighting the urgent need for more inclusive genetic data.

Study finds high levels of iron in the brains of people diagnosed with Down syndrome and Alzheimer's

Scientists at the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology have discovered a key connection between high levels of iron in the brain and increased cell damage in people who have both Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease.

Researchers identify key differences in Alzheimer's progression in humans and animal models

Although it is known that Alzheimer's disease can start up to 20 years before the first symptoms appear, the lack of knowledge about how it progresses prevents the development of effective treatments, as well as a clear diagnosis to confront this neurodegenerative disease, which origin is also unknown.

Positive wellbeing may help reduce the risk of memory loss in middle age

Higher levels of wellbeing may help reduce the risk of memory loss in middle age, suggests new research, which tracked more than 10,000 over 50-year-olds across a 16-year span.
