Obesity may worsen Alzheimer’s disease through fat molecules that send harmful signals to the brain, but targeting those molecules could offer a new path for intervention. Alzheimer’s disease is often viewed as a disorder that begins and ends in the brain. But growing evidence suggests the disease may also be shaped by what happens throughout […]

Researchers reviewing decades of evidence conclude that alcohol plays a major role in disease and injury, affecting everything from the immune system to the brain and heart. A major new review published in Addiction paints a sobering picture of alcohol’s impact on health, linking drinking to dozens of diseases, infections, and injuries that affect nearly […]

Scientists at UC Riverside uncovered evidence that compounds beyond THC may influence how the body regulates metabolism and insulin signaling. A preclinical study from the University of California, Riverside offers new insight into a puzzling pattern that scientists have noticed for years: people who use cannabis chronically often have lower body weight and a lower […]

A decades-old patent from MIT Professor Bill Freeman inspired the new “Y-zipper,” a three-sided fastener that can snap gear, robots, and art into shape with the push of a button. Long before shape-shifting robots and self-assembling structures became engineering goals, one MIT professor had already imagined a zipper that could transform floppy materials into rigid […]

NASA’s Psyche spacecraft just used Mars as a giant slingshot on its journey to a mysterious metal world that could reveal what’s hidden inside planets like Earth. NASA’s Psyche spacecraft successfully completed a close flyby of Mars on May 15, passing just 2,864 miles (4,609 kilometers) above the planet’s surface. The maneuver used Mars’ gravity […]

A long-running study suggests that one of the simplest ways to support healthy aging may also be one of the most effective: eating slightly fewer calories. Search online, and you will find countless biohacking trends that promise healthier aging, from cold plunges and hyperbaric oxygen therapy to sleeping under red lights. But research from Tufts […]
