Early results support further testing for hypertriglyceridemia and MASLD.
Read More 2026-02-09 Why Your 40s Feel So Exhausting — And How to Fix It Midlife often feels uniquely exhausting because modest biological changes—muscle loss, mitochondrial decline, sleep fragmentation and hormone variability—coincide with peak life demands. This article explains why and what to do.
Read More 2026-02-09 Why Genes May Account for Half of Human Lifespan Now A new twin-based analysis suggests genetics may explain roughly half of lifespan variation in low-risk populations, but heritability depends on context. Learn why genes, environment and disease mix to shape longevity.

Read More 2026-02-07 An Ice-Cold Earth Candidate Found 150 Light-Years Away Scientists have identified HD 137010 b, an Earth-sized exoplanet candidate about 150 light-years away. It orbits a long-lived K dwarf in roughly one year and may be a frozen ‘snowball’ or, with the right atmosphere, retain liquid water.
Read More 2026-02-07 Did Trees Anticipate an Eclipse - Or Just the Storm? A reanalysis challenges claims that Norway spruce synchronized electrical signals to anticipate a partial solar eclipse, suggesting storm-driven temperature drops and lightning better explain the data.
Read More 2026-02-07 How the Bone-Brain Axis Links Depression and Osteoporosis Emerging science reveals a two‑way bone‑brain axis linking depression and osteoporosis. Studies propose exercise, neuromodulation, and drugs targeting bone signals as new routes for treatment.
