Natural Compound Found in Cheese and Mushrooms May Help Boost Vaccine Responses

Researchers have found that the natural compound spermidine can help improve vaccine responses in older adults by reducing molecular markers of immune system aging. A vaccine shot can look the same from one arm to the next, but the immune system beneath the skin may not respond with the same force. In older adults, that […]

A Deadly Ebola-Like Virus Is Spreading. Are We Ready?

BU virologist Nancy Sullivan says the Bundibugyo outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo underscores the need for broader outbreak preparedness. The death of a nurse marked the moment health officials recognized that something dangerous was spreading. The illness was Bundibugyo virus, a rare but potentially deadly infection now driving a growing outbreak in […]

A Troubling Breast Cancer Trend Is Emerging in Asian American Communities

Breast cancer patterns are shifting rapidly in several Asian American communities. Breast cancer has long been considered less common among Asian American women than among white women in the United States. A new UC San Francisco-led study suggests that this pattern is changing quickly, especially among younger women and in some aggressive forms of the […]

Scientists Have Identified a Key Driver of Age-Related Cognitive Decline

A newly identified protein pathway may link blood-brain barrier deterioration to age-related cognitive decline. The aging brain depends on a microscopic border that works every second to keep danger out and support the nerve cells inside. When that barrier begins to fail, memory, mood, and thinking may suffer. Andrew A. Pieper, MD, PhD, and colleagues […]
