New research suggests Alzheimer's may start far earlier than previously thought, driven by a hidden toxic protein in the brain. Scientists found that an experimental drug, NU-9, blocks this early damage in mice and reduces inflammation linked to ...

How you walk may matter just as much as how much you walk. A large UK study tracking more than 33,000 low-activity adults found that people who grouped their daily steps into longer, uninterrupted walks had dramatically lower risks of early death and ...

A new study shows dopamine isn't the brain's movement "gas pedal" after all. Instead of setting speed or strength, it quietly enables movement in the background, much like oil in an engine. When scientists manipulated dopamine during movement, ...

A Brazilian study has confirmed that Joseph's Coat, a plant used for generations in folk medicine, can significantly reduce inflammation and arthritis symptoms in lab tests. Researchers observed less swelling, healthier joints, and signs of tissue .. ...

Eating full-fat cheese and cream may be associated with a lower risk of dementia, according to a large study that tracked people for more than 25 years. Those who consumed higher amounts of these foods developed dementia less often than those who ate ...

A major international review has upended long-held ideas about how top performers are made. By analyzing nearly 35,000 elite achievers across science, music, chess, and sports, researchers found that early stars rarely become adult superstars. Most . ...

Spanish researchers have created a powerful new open-source tool that helps uncover the hidden genetic networks driving cancer. Called RNACOREX, the software can analyze thousands of molecular interactions at once, revealing how genes communicate ...

A major new meta-analysis finds that vegetarian and vegan diets can support healthy growth in children when properly planned. Kids on plant-based diets often had better heart health markers, including lower "bad" cholesterol, and consumed more fiber ...

Long before opioids flooded communities, something else was quietly changing--and it may have helped set the stage for today's crisis. A new study finds that as church attendance dropped among middle-aged, less educated white Americans, deaths from . ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called "junk DNA" contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer's disease. By experimentally testing nearly 1,000 DNA switches in human astrocytes, scientists identified around 150 that ...
