Unlocking the future of dementia: Your telomere length could predict your risk

The recent study in General Psychiatry found that leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is significantly associated with the risk of developing dementia, especially Alzheimer's disease. Using data from over 430,000 individuals, the study suggests that telomere length could serve as a predictive biomarker for brain health and dementia risk.

Intensive fasting boosts red blood cells' immune powers against COVID-19, study finds

Researchers found that short-term intensive fasting enhances the immune function of red blood cells, including their ability to combat SARS-CoV-2, without affecting their oxygen-carrying capacity. The study reveals that this fasting regimen popular in Asia could offer a multifaceted benefit by amplifying the body's defenses without compromising essential functions.

Study sheds light on immune cells' ability to collectively migrate through complex environments

When fighting disease, our immune cells need to reach their target quickly. Researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) now discovered that immune cells actively generate their own guidance system to navigate through complex environments.
