A six-week study from the University of Nottingham suggests that pairing fermented kefir with a diverse prebiotic fiber mix may deliver a powerful anti-inflammatory boost. This "synbiotic" combination outperformed omega-3 supplements and fiber alone, ...

A simple brain-training program that sharpens how quickly older adults process visual information may have a surprisingly powerful long-term payoff. In a major 20-year study of adults 65 and older, those who completed five to six weeks of adaptive . ...

A new clinical trial suggests that changing when you eat could make a meaningful difference for people living with Crohn's disease. Researchers found that time-restricted feeding, a form of intermittent fasting that limits meals to an 8-hour daily .. ...

Three major reviews commissioned by the World Health Organization find that GLP-1 drugs including tirzepatide (sold as Mounjaro and Zepbound), semaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy), and liraglutide (Victoza and Saxenda) can lead to substantial weight loss ...

Life may have started in sticky, rock-hugging gels rather than inside cells. Researchers suggest these primitive, biofilm-like materials could trap and concentrate molecules, giving early chemistry a protected space to grow more complex. Within these ...

For millions of years, a frozen wanderer drifted between the stars before slipping into our solar system as 3I/ATLAS--only the third known interstellar comet ever spotted. When scientists turned NASA's Swift Observatory toward it, they caught the ...

Avian malaria is spreading across Hawaii in a way scientists didn't fully grasp until now: nearly every forest bird species can help keep the disease alive. Researchers found the parasite at 63 of 64 sites statewide, revealing that both native ...

A distant star system with four super-sized gas giants has revealed a surprise. Thanks to JWST's powerful vision, astronomers detected sulfur in their atmospheres -- a chemical clue that they formed like Jupiter, by slowly building solid cores. That ...

Depression in older adults may sometimes signal the early stages of Parkinson's disease or Lewy body dementia. Researchers found that depression often appears years before diagnosis and remains elevated long afterward, unlike in other chronic ...

A cooler bedroom might be better for older sleepers than previously thought. Researchers found that keeping nighttime temperatures at 75°F reduced stress responses and helped the heart work more efficiently during sleep. Hot nights usually force the ...
