Scientists in Japan have created powerful new vitamin K-based compounds that may help the brain regenerate lost neurons -- a breakthrough that could one day change how diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's are treated. By combining vitamin K with ...

Researchers at Texas A&M have developed a nasal spray that appears to reverse brain aging by calming inflammation and restoring the brain's energy systems. After just two doses, memory and cognitive function improved for months, raising hopes for ...

USC researchers have identified potential new drug compounds that may reduce the brain inflammation linked to Alzheimer's disease, especially in people with the high-risk APOE4 gene. The compounds target cPLA2, an enzyme that seems to fuel harmful .. ...

Eating more beans, lentils, chickpeas, tofu, and other soy foods could be a surprisingly powerful way to fight high blood pressure. A major analysis of studies from around the world found that people with the highest intake of legumes were 16% less . ...

New NIH research reveals that semaglutide sparks different responses inside appetite-controlling brain cells, offering fresh insight into why GLP-1 weight-loss drugs don't work the same for everyone. Scientists also found a possible way to extend the ...

A massive international study could upend 40 years of heart attack treatment. Researchers found that beta blockers--routinely prescribed after uncomplicated heart attacks--offered no real benefit for patients whose heart function remained normal, ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how cells behave when division goes wrong. Sometimes a cell successfully copies its DNA but fails to split into two, leaving it with double the genetic material -- a mistake linked to aging, cancer, and ...

Drinking nitrate-rich beetroot juice may do more than support heart health -- it could actually reshape the bacteria living in the mouth in ways that help lower blood pressure in older adults. In the largest study of its kind, researchers found that ...

Scientists at McGill University have found a way to supercharge the immune system's natural killer (NK) cells, helping them break through the defenses tumors use to stay alive. By temporarily blocking two proteins, researchers turned these cells into ...

Scientists at UT Southwestern have uncovered a surprising new "master switch" that helps control how much cholesterol the liver sends into the bloodstream. The newly identified protein, HELZ2, works by shutting down the genetic instructions needed to ...
