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.
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.
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 Reprogram Brain Immune Cells Using Molecule OLE to Fight Alzheimer’s — Plaque Reduced in Models
A newly identified molecule called OLE restored microglia to a protective state in Alzheimer’s disease models reducing toxic amyloid plaque and improving memory.
Dying Cell ‘Footprints’ May Help Viruses Spread After Host Cell Death — New Discovery
Scientists uncovered a surprising mechanism in which chemical signals released by dying cells attract viruses and help them relocate to new healthy host cells nearby.
New Vitamin B12-Based Compound Crosses Blood-Brain Barrier and Homes In on Glioblastoma Brain Tumors
Researchers found the B12-based compound preferentially accumulated in tumor tissue and delivered sustained nitric oxide treatment in animal models of brain cancer.
AI-Assisted Mammography Could Detect Breast Cancer Years Before Standard Clinical Diagnosis — Swedish Study
A retrospective study found that AI screening tools identified malignant tissue in mammograms years before conventional clinical diagnosis would have been made.
Scientists Discover Why Aging Triggers New Stem Cells That Supercharge Production of Belly Fat
A study reveals that specialized stem cells emerge during aging that amplify the creation of abdominal fat — a finding that could lead to targeted anti-obesity interventions.
Low Vitamin C in Blood Plasma Linked to Reduced Brain Gray Matter Volume and Connectivity During Aging
A new study finds that adults with lower circulating vitamin C have measurably smaller volumes of gray matter and reduced neural connectivity important for cognitive function.
