Read More 2026-06-19 Why Women's Brains Suffer Greater Dementia Risk Now A large UC San Diego analysis finds that several modifiable dementia risk factors—like hypertension, depression, and hearing loss—have a stronger negative effect on women's cognition, suggesting prevention should be sex-specific.
Read More 2026-06-19 How Many Daily Steps Cancel Out the Harm of Sitting Analysis of 72,174 UK Biobank participants shows that increasing daily steps lowers cardiovascular and mortality risk. Benefits begin at 4,000 steps; 9,000 to 10,000 steps best offset high sedentary time.
Read More 2026-06-18 How a Brain Implant Restored a Man’s Voice and Independence An experimental brain-computer interface enabled Casey Harrell, who has advanced ALS, to 'speak' again using a surgically implanted decoder and eye-gaze control, restoring communication and independence.
Read More 2026-06-18 Peptide Shields Brain Cells: A New Angle on Parkinson's Brazilian researchers report that Ac2-26, a peptide derived from Annexin A1, reduced neuroinflammation and helped preserve dopamine neurons in mice, suggesting a new preventive strategy for Parkinson’s disease.
Read More 2026-06-17 How One Brain Chemical Helps Break Habits and Adapt New mouse experiments show acetylcholine surges in the striatum when expected rewards fail, nudging animals to abandon old strategies. The finding links cholinergic signaling to behavioral flexibility and potential therapies.
Read More 2026-06-17 Why Your Five-A-Day Might Miss the Heart-Protective Parts New analysis of over 30,000 people shows many meet five-a-day targets but still lack protective flavanols. Choosing specific fruits, beans, and green tea may boost heart-protective compounds.
Read More 2026-06-16 How Vitamin C Appears to Preserve the Aging Brain's Network New research links higher blood vitamin C levels to greater gray matter volume and stronger connectivity in the brain's default mode network in older adults, suggesting diet may affect neural aging.
Read More 2026-06-15 Why Cutting Out Sugar Completely May Harm Your Gut A mouse study presented at ENDO 2026 finds that removing sucrose entirely from a low-fat diet disrupted the gut microbiome and prompted inflammation, insulin resistance, and signs of fatty liver despite no extra weight gain.
Read More 2026-06-14 Poverty Shapes the Young Brain More Than IQ, Study Finds A large Washington University study of 12,000 children links family income and neighborhood conditions to measurable differences in brain function, suggesting environment can shape development more than IQ alone.
Read More 2026-06-14 Hookworms Reengineered to Become Living Drug Factories Scientists used CRISPR to engineer hookworms that produce an antibody against tetrodotoxin, demonstrating a living in vivo drug-production platform while highlighting major safety and efficacy challenges.
Read More 2026-06-14 Common Joint Supplement Tied to Faster Alzheimer's Decline A large study and follow-up experiments suggest glucosamine, a common joint supplement, may accelerate progression and increase mortality in people with Alzheimer’s or mild cognitive impairment. Researchers urge caution and further trials.
Read More 2026-06-13 Faulty Enzyme Linked to Alzheimer's, New Drug Slows It Researchers identify dysfunctional GRK2 as a driver of mitochondrial failure and amyloid accumulation in Alzheimer's. An experimental molecule, Compound 10, blocks GRK2 aggregation and slows disease in mice.
Read More 2026-06-12 Saliva Holds a Measurable Fingerprint of Sleep Loss Scientists report a pattern of salivary metabolites that appears after 24 hours awake, suggesting a possible noninvasive test for acute sleep deprivation. Early results show promise but need larger, diverse validation.
