 | | |  Bowhead whale’s secret to long life revealed: precision DNA repair may hold clues for human aging Researchers discovered that bowhead whales achieve extraordinary longevity and cancer resistance through highly efficient and precise DNA repair mechanisms. A whale-specific protein, CIRBP, enhances genome stability even in human cells, revealing a potential pathway to strengthen DNA repair and slow aging. | | | | |  Common viruses sharply raise heart attack and stroke risk, major global review shows In the largest synthesis to date, researchers reviewed 155 studies linking viral infections, including influenza, SARS-CoV-2, HIV, hepatitis C, and shingles, to increased risks of coronary heart disease, stroke, and heart failure. The findings highlight viral infection prevention and vaccination as underappreciated strategies for cardiovascular protection. | |

| | | |  Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn have discovered how a small, naturally occurring RNA molecule in the kidney activates a mutated immune receptor, triggering a chain reaction. | | | | |  A new study by the Hebrew University has developed a rapid imaging method that reveals how drugs move through the skin, in just ten minutes. | | | | |  Drugs to treat inflammatory and autoimmune diseases - such as asthma, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis or Chrousos syndrome - act mainly through the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). | |
