A sulfur-containing compound may shield one of the body’s most important muscle repair signals from the chemical damage that drives age-related decline. Aging muscles may not lose the signals needed for repair. Instead, those signals may remain in place but become chemically damaged and unable to do their jobs. Researchers have now identified a sulfur-containing […]
Exercise Helps Hip Arthritis but the Relief May Be Hard to Notice
Exercise is widely prescribed for hip osteoarthritis, but a study suggests the relief it provides may be too small to notice in day-to-day life. Exercise is one of the most common recommendations for hip osteoarthritis, but a major new evidence review suggests its average benefits may be smaller than many patients expect. The Cochrane review […]

Scientists Tested an 8-Hour Eating Window and Found a Surprising Brain Benefit
Limiting the daily eating window may provide brain benefits beyond those associated with weight loss. Eating within a shorter daily window may provide cognitive benefits beyond those associated with weight loss alone, according to results from a small clinical trial. The pilot study followed older women with overweight or obesity during a weight-loss program and […]
Scientists Reveal the Climate “Perfect Storm” Behind an Ancient Civilizational Collapse
Overlapping climate cycles may have intensified the droughts surrounding the Late Bronze Age collapse. Around 3,200 years ago, societies across the Eastern Mediterranean faced drought severe enough to strain water supplies, agriculture, and food security. Research from Stockholm University, published in Science Advances, suggests these extreme conditions developed not from one isolated event, but when […]

Archaeology Students Discover Rare 400-Year-Old Intact Pot
A rare intact pot is helping archaeologists reconstruct life and cultural exchange at Mission San Francisco de Potano. Four centuries after someone shaped a small clay vessel by hand, University of Florida students lifted it from the soil completely intact. The pot, likely made by a member of the Indigenous Potano-Timucua tribe, is compact enough […]
New Strategy Shows Promise Against the Deadliest Brain Cancer
Focused ultrasound helped deliver microRNAs that targeted multiple glioblastoma genes and improved outcomes in animal models. A treatment aimed at glioblastoma must first cross one of the body’s most selective defenses: the blood-brain barrier. Researchers at the University of Virginia Comprehensive Cancer Center are testing a way to briefly open that barrier and deliver genetic […]
