Balance problems in aging and Parkinson's may come from the body working too hard, not too little. Scientists found that the brain and muscles become overactive during even minor disturbances, yet this actually weakens balance recovery. At the same . ...

Researchers have visualized atoms in motion just before a radiation-driven decay process occurs, revealing a surprisingly dynamic scene. Instead of remaining fixed, the atoms roam and rearrange, directly influencing how and when the decay unfolds. .. ...

New fathers appear to have fewer mental health diagnoses during pregnancy and the early months after birth. But that early stability does not last. About a year later, depression and stress-related disorders increase significantly, surprising ...

A new neural implant is so small it can rest on a grain of salt, yet it can track and wirelessly transmit brain activity for over a year. It's powered by laser light that safely passes through tissue and communicates using tiny infrared signals. This ...

Scientists have found that your brain separates memories into "what" and "where/when" using two different groups of neurons. One set responds to specific objects or people, while another tracks the context or situation. When you remember something .. ...

Researchers have identified microRNA-93 as a key genetic driver of fatty liver disease and discovered that vitamin B3 can effectively shut it down. This finding suggests a safe, widely available vitamin could become a powerful new treatment.

A global team of leading scientists is zeroing in on a tiny but powerful molecule that could reshape how we age. Known as NAD, it plays a crucial role in keeping our cells energized, repairing DNA, and maintaining overall health--but its levels ...

For over a century, scientists have chased the dream of insulin pills, but the digestive system kept destroying the drug before it could work--forcing millions of patients to rely on daily injections. Now, researchers at Kumamoto University have ...

A new study suggests a widely used bone hormone could help relieve chronic back pain in an unexpected way. Instead of just strengthening bone, it appears to stop pain-sensing nerves from growing into damaged spinal areas. In animal models, this led . ...

Postmenopausal women may have a powerful new edge in the battle against weight gain. A Mayo Clinic study found that those using menopausal hormone therapy while taking the obesity drug tirzepatide lost about 35% more weight than those on the drug ...
