| |  A large longitudinal study found that pesticide exposure and caffeinated soda intake were linked to more severe motor symptoms in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (iPD). In contrast, black tea consumption was associated with milder symptoms in patients with LRRK2-related Parkinson’s disease (LRRK2-PD). | |
|
| |  The MIND diet, developed to combine the neuroprotective elements of the Mediterranean and DASH diets, has demonstrated strong potential in reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and age-related cognitive decline. Clinical and observational studies highlight its benefits for memory, vascular function, and mood. | |
|
| |  Blood vessels are essential to nearly all tissues, delivering nutrients and oxygen, regulating hemostasis, and modulating inflammation. | |
|
| |  Stroke and dementia as well as late-life depression are more common in people who have a biomarker of aging called short leukocyte telomere length, according to a study published on June 11, 2025, online in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. | |
|
| |  The study highlights the impact of maternal diet on child neurodevelopment, linking nut consumption to better decision-making and fish to impulsivity. | |
|
| |  A large European study found that consuming a greater variety of plant-based proteins, vegetables, and major food groups is linked to a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The protective effect was strongest in women and individuals without central obesity. | |
|
| | Pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of patients with resectable locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma whose tumors express PD-L1 [Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥1] as determined by an FDA-approved test. | |
|
| |  People who carry a bitter 'supertaster gene' have been linked to various health conditions including bipolar disorder and poor kidney function, University of Queensland researchers have found. | |
|
| |  A new study offers insight into the health and lifestyle indicators - including diet, physical activity and weight - that align most closely with healthy brain function across the lifespan. | |
|
| |  From counting sheep to white noise and weighted blankets, people have tried innumerable ways to get a good night's sleep. | |
|
| |  A review reveals how industry funding influences red meat studies, highlighting the need for transparent nutrition research on cardiovascular health impacts. | |
|
| |  No more hunger after cooking? A newly identified network of nerve cells is responsible, a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research has discovered in mice. | |
|
| |  A large, multi-ethnic US cohort study found that combining healthy lifestyle factors—non-smoking, regular physical activity, a healthy diet, and moderate alcohol consumption into a Lifestyle Risk Factor Index (LSRI) was linked to a significantly lower risk of type 2 diabetes. However, BMI was a stronger predictor of diabetes risk, and the impact of lifestyle varied across ethnic groups. | |
|
| |  Scientists from Mass General Brigham explored the associations between telomere length-which decreases as a person ages or is exposed to unhealthy environments-and the risk for age-related brain diseases. | |
|
| |  A first-of-its-kind blood test to detect amyloid plaques in the brain associated with Alzheimer's disease recently received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. An Indiana University School of Medicine researcher who helped lead the discovery and development of one of the biomarkers the test identifies hopes it will provide greater access and a more accurate diagnosis for patients. | |
