When the world’s nations meet for COP30 in Belém, Brazil, on 10 November to lock down new commitments to limit dangerous climate change, it will be the first such conference since US President Donald Trump announced in January that his country would, for the second time, exit the landmark Paris climate treaty.Drill, baby drill? Trump policies will hurt climate ― but US green transition is underwayTrump and his administration have championed fossil fuels, called climate change “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world” and rolled back federal funding and tax breaks for clean energy introduced under former president…

Cognition deteriorates less rapidly in people with Alzheimer’s disease who take at least 3,000 to 5,000 steps per day. Credit: Qilai Shen/Bloomberg/GettyWhen it comes to preventing Alzheimer’s disease, every step counts. For older people whose brains have begun to show molecular signs of the disease, but who have yet to display any cognitive symptoms, taking as few as 3,000 to 5,000 steps per day can help to stave off mental decline, a study finds1.That level of activity slows cognitive decline by 3 years, on average, the results show. And in similar individuals who walk further, taking 5,000 to 7,500 steps…

[Alexandra DeFoe/The Rockefeller University] The first-ever cellular atlas of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which transmits more diseases than any other species of its kind, has been created. The Mosquito Cell Atlas provides cellular-level resolution of gene expression in every mosquito tissue, from the antennae down to the legs. The atlas was recently published in Cell in the paper, “A single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas of the adult Aedes aegypti mosquito.” “This is a comprehensive snapshot of what every cell in the mosquito is doing…

Many frozen foods are nutritious and cut down on prep time.Frozen foods can also be more cost-effective than their fresh counterparts.Chefs recommend stocking your freezer with fruits, veggies, proteins and pastry essentials. If you regularly find yourself dashing to the market for last-minute meal ingredients, it might be time to start stocking your freezer. The reasons are plentiful, and with pro tips from chefs on what frozen foods to always keep on hand and why, getting started is easier than you might think. Maintaining a well-stocked freezer won’t just save you the headache of trying to figure out a feasible…

The move into the mainstream is testament the continued growth of the cellular health space from a niche corner of the wellness market into a broader movement being embraced by health-conscious consumers. With this retail expansion, BodyBio is entering a new chapter as the longevity movement gains momentum in the wellness space. “People are no longer looking for quick fixes; they want to understand the ‘why’ behind their wellness and take their health into their own hands,” said Brad Berman, CEO and co-owner of BodyBio, noting the shift in consumer demand from “surface-level wellness to root-cause solutions.”“Whether it’s gut integrity,…

This webinar will be hosted live and available on-demandWednesday, December 10th, 202512:30 – 1:30 PM ETSpatial biology allows researchers to visualize gene, protein, and metabolite distributions directly within tissues, uncovering biological patterns that many bulk and single-cell methods cannot resolve alone. However, scientists continue to face barriers in resolution, multiplexing, and data integration, including biological and technical variability, that limit the depth of spatial insights. Overcoming these challenges will enable a better understanding of how tissue organization shapes cell function and disease processes.In this live roundtable webinar, Jeff Moffitt, Ramon Sun, and Jared Burks will discuss how spatial biology approaches…

Credit: Westend61/Getty Images A new study from researchers at Northwestern University has described how the TDP-43 protein moves from its normal location in the cell nucleus to the cytoplasm resulting in excessive neuronal firing in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The research, published in Nature Neuroscience, also details the development of a gene-targeting antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) drug which restores normal balance and reduces this overactivity. In their new work, the Northwestern team discovered that when TDP-43 malfunctions, it causes mis-splicing of the potassium channel gene KCNQ2. Normally, KCNQ2 encodes the Kv7.2 channel, which generates a stabilizing electrical…

A new study from Mayo Clinic emphasizes the tendency for menopausal women to navigate this life stage without seeking the proper care to help ease their symptoms. The survey of nearly 5,000 women aged 45–60 found that more than three out of four respondents experienced menopause symptoms. Many of them reported substantial effects on daily life, work productivity, and overall well-being. However, more than 80% did not seek medical care for their menopause symptoms.Critically, more than one-third (34%) of the surveyed women had moderate to very severe symptoms. Sleep disturbances and weight gain were among the most common issues affecting…

Wellthspan Advisory’s Nadine Esposito on designing systems for 100-year lives. People are living longer than at any point in history – yet we remain dramatically underprepared to live better. For decades, the conversation about longevity has been dominated by optimism (‘plan for 100’) and technology (‘reverse aging’). What’s been missing is realism: how longer lives actually intersect with health, wealth, work, care, and legacy across life stages. According to the World Economic Forum’s Living Longer, Better report, more than half of adults admit they haven’t saved enough – or don’t know if they will have enough – for retirement [1]. Meanwhile, the Stanford Center on…
