Scientists have discovered that a "longevity gene" found in people who live beyond 100 can reverse heart aging in models of Progeria, a devastating disease that causes children to age rapidly. By introducing this supercentenarian gene into Progeria . ...

Spacetime isn't something that exists; it's a model for describing how events happen. Treating events as objects creates philosophical confusion and fuels misconceptions, such as time-travel paradoxes. Recognizing that events merely occur within an . ...

People living in socially and economically disadvantaged neighborhoods may face higher dementia risks, according to new research from Wake Forest University. Scientists found biological signs of Alzheimer's and vascular brain disease in those from .. ...

From mini-brains to spider-inspired gloves and wolf apple coatings, scientists are turning eerie-sounding experiments into real innovations that could revolutionize health and sustainability. Lab-grown brain organoids may replace animal testing, ...

Scientists found that gluten is key to spaghetti's strength, acting like a microscopic safety net that prevents disintegration. Advanced imaging revealed how gluten-free pasta collapses more easily unless cooked perfectly. Salt, too, plays a ...

New research shows that the rise of Sumer was deeply tied to the tidal and sedimentary dynamics of ancient Mesopotamia. Early communities harnessed predictable tides for irrigation, but when deltas cut off the Gulf's tides, they faced crisis and ...

Researchers found that life expectancy growth in wealthy nations has dramatically slowed since 1939. Once driven by major reductions in child mortality, longevity gains are now limited by slower progress in older-age survival. The study suggests no . ...

Researchers have uncovered microbial evidence in the remains of Napoleon's soldiers from the 1812 Russian retreat. Genetic analysis revealed pathogens behind paratyphoid and relapsing fever, diseases likely contributing to the army's massive losses. ...

Inside your body, an intricate communication network constantly monitors breathing, heart rate, digestion, and immune function -- a hidden "sixth sense" called interoception. Now, Nobel laureate Ardem Patapoutian and a team at Scripps Research and .. ...

Researchers discovered the gene that gives a rare wheat variety its unusual "triple-grain" trait. When switched on, the gene helps wheat flowers produce extra grain-bearing parts. The finding could allow scientists to grow new, high-yield crops to .. ...
