A simplified biological age score calculated from four routine biomarkers significantly flags the risk of future cognitive decline in older adults, according to recent research. Meanwhile, separate large studies highlight complex, bidirectional connections between declining memory, body mass index, and reduced physical activity in later life. Calculating Biological Risk: The Light BioAge Index Researchers examined … Read more

Researchers at the University of Kentucky discovered that brain immune cells called microglia—rather than amyloid-beta plaques—drive sleep loss in Alzheimer’s disease. Using a microglia-blocking drug in mice, scientists restored over two hours of restorative sleep nightly without clearing brain plaques, pointing to a potential new paradigm for treatment. For years, researchers blamed this exhaustion on … Read more

Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) in New York have identified a single protein known as ZFP36L2, or ZFP, that acts as a molecular switch linking the gut’s damage-sensing system to the ability of cells to shift identities during injury repair. The findings provide new insight into how colorectal cancer spreads and evolves … Read more
