Published in the journal Gastroenterology, the study showed that participants who limited eating to an eight-hour daily window also showed reductions in visceral fat and blood markers linked to inflammation and immune regulation, without cutting their daily caloric intake. “This study shows that while weight loss is an important outcome…

CAG-170 remain unculturable in the lab, and are only identifiable from their genetic fingerprints. Further analysis of CAG-170 revealed the bacteria have the capacity to produce high levels of Vitamin B12 and enzymes that break down a wide range of carbohydrates, sugars, and fibers in our gut. The researchers suggest that Vitamin B12 supports other species of gut bacteria,…

The Longevity Show has confirmed its first partners for 2026, offering an early view of the ecosystem shaping longer, healthier lives. With the 2026 edition set for Tobacco Dock, London, the Longevity Show has begun to lock in a partner roster that reflects where the sector is heading: prevention built through services and systems as much as molecules. The names announced so far span clinical models, nutrition science, performance technology and AI – an early signal of a field no longer split neatly between biotech and wellness, but increasingly stitched together through diagnostics, platforms, clinics, products and capital. Spanning biotech,…

Neurologist looks for tumor in a patient’s brain. [Gorodenkoff/Getty Images] Preclinical models such as cell lines, spheroids, and animals are a crucial aspect of modern-day biomedical research. When used correctly, they can provide invaluable insights on safety, efficacy, and mechanistic understanding. Although the push to reduce animal testing and improve the physiological relevance of in vitro models known as “New Approach Methodologies (NAM)” started more than a decade ago, the FDA’s announcement last year on plans to phase out the requirement for animal testing in immunotherapies like monoclonal antibodies has attracted significant academia and commercial attention–both enthusiasm and concern. This…

Imagine trying to navigate a complex, unfamiliar city without a GPS. You might eventually find your destination, but you would likely waste time, fuel, and energy on wrong turns. For decades, treating cancer felt exactly like that.  Doctors often relied on “one-size-fits-all” protocols, hoping the standard treatment would work for everyone. But cancer is personal. Your biology is unique.  Therefore, your treatment should be too. This is where Precision Cancer Mapping changes the game entirely. It acts as that high-tech GPS for your body. By analyzing the specific genetic and molecular makeup of a tumor, precision oncology cancer strategies allow…

In the ever-evolving world of superfoods, few ingredients have maintained such a dominant presence as the chia seed (Salvia hispanica). While these ancient seeds were once the primary fuel for Aztec and Mayan warriors, modern nutritional science has uncovered a specifically profound impact on women’s wellness. When discussing chia seeds’ benefits for females, we are not just looking at a simple dietary addition; we are looking at a functional powerhouse that addresses the unique biological, hormonal, and metabolic needs of the female body. For women, nutrition is rarely just about calories; it is about managing a complex endocrine system, maintaining…

Drawing on individual participant data from more than 150,000 people from 23 double-blind studies, the team found no evidence that statin therapy causes many commonly reported problems such as memory loss, depression, sleep disturbance, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, or headache. The findings, published in The Lancet, are intended to better inform clinicians and patients in making decisions about statin use to manage…

A research team co-led by scientists at The Wistar Institute has combined a promising cancer therapy with a molecule that targets tumors to treat cancer more effectively. The new approach, they suggest, could be a way to deliver treatment directly to tumors at higher doses, while reducing side effects in healthy tissue. The novel chimeric small molecule, designated NN-01-195, combines an aurora kinase A (AURKA) inhibitor with an HSP90-binding construct that targets the molecule to tumors. The team reported promising results with the molecule in lab-grown cells and in animal models. “An Aurora kinase A (AURKA) inhibitor is viewed as…

Have you ever looked at a historical painting and wondered how people maintained such thick hair?  Modern life is very stressful. Stress often leads to thinning hair. Many people today feel frustrated with chemical treatments.  Consequently, they are turning back to nature. An ancient root for hair regrowth might be the answer you need. These roots carry the wisdom of centuries.  Our ancestors did not have labs. However, they had a deep understanding of the earth. They used specific plants to heal and protect their bodies.  This guide explores those traditional secrets. We will bridge the gap between old folk…

Credit: onurdongel / Getty Images / E+ Research led by Mount Sinai Health System shows artificial intelligence (AI)-based large language models (LLMs) remain susceptible to medical misinformation, particularly if it is phrased in language that implies it comes from a medical expert. “AI has the potential to be a real help for clinicians and patients, offering faster insights and support,” says co-lead investigator Girish Nadkarni, MD, a professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and chief AI officer of the Mount Sinai Health System, in a press statement. “But it needs built-in safeguards that check medical claims…
