H5N1 Bird Flu Attacks Cow Udders Instead of Lungs Because Receptors Are Concentrated in Mammary Tissue
A breakthrough study explains why dairy cows are particularly vulnerable to H5N1 infection — the virus’s preferred receptors cluster in udder tissue not respiratory tissue.
Scientists Find the Strength Training Sweet Spot for Longevity at 90 to 120 Minutes Per Week
A 30-year study following participants found no extra benefit from training beyond two hours per week while 90 to 120 minutes was associated with a 19% lower cardiovascular death risk.
Ozempic and Wegovy Linked to a Surprising Drop in Impulsive Violent Behavior — Rutgers Study
GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide appear to weaken the link between impulsive tendencies and violent behavior opening a potential new application in mental health.
Common Weedkiller Glyphosate May Be Fueling Drug-Resistant Superbugs Found in Hospitals — Study
Researchers found hospital-acquired drug-resistant bacteria also show resistance to glyphosate suggesting agricultural herbicide exposure may cross-select for antibiotic resistance.
Ancient Brain Cells That Filter Distractions Discovered in Tiny Region Found Across Vertebrate Species
Scientists identified a small cluster of neurons in a primitive brain region that serves as a built-in focus filter helping the brain suppress irrelevant stimuli.
FDA-Approved Drug AMD3100 Frees T-Cells Trapped in Fibrous Tissue to Attack Rare Liver Cancer
Scientists found that a rare form of liver cancer evades the immune system by luring T-cells into surrounding fibrous tissue where they become inactive and ineffective.
Women Who Strength Train Two or More Hours Weekly May Significantly Reduce Their Heart Attack Risk
New research shows that regular resistance training for women is associated with a dramatically lower incidence of cardiovascular disease and heart attack events.
Vitamin D and Calcium Supplements May Offer Less Bone Protection Than Previously Thought — BMJ Study
A major review published in the BMJ challenges decades of clinical guidance finding the combined supplements do not reliably reduce fracture risk in most populations.
Mediterranean Diet Shingles Vaccine and Asundexian All Independently Shown to Reduce Stroke Risk
Three new clinical studies published simultaneously have identified distinct approaches that each meaningfully reduce the risk of stroke using diet vaccination and medication.
