A simple nasal swab may offer an unexpected window into the earliest biological signals of Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease affects millions worldwide, but it is most difficult to detect in its earliest stages, when treatment may be most effective. A new study from Duke Health suggests that a simple outpatient nasal swab could reveal early […]
A Simple Nose Swab Could Detect Alzheimer’s Years Before Symptoms Appear
A simple nasal swab may offer an unexpected window into the earliest biological signals of Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease affects millions worldwide, but it is most difficult to detect in its earliest stages, when treatment may be most effective. A new study from Duke Health suggests that a simple outpatient nasal swab could reveal early […]
Scientists Warn: Vaping Likely Causes Cancer
A sweeping scientific review is raising new concerns about the long-term health effects of vaping. Nicotine-based e-cigarettes may pose a serious cancer risk, according to a major new review that challenges the long-standing perception of vaping as a safer alternative to smoking. The study, led by UNSW Sydney and published in Carcinogenesis, brings together evidence […]
Scientists Just Rewrote the Timeline of Complex Life on Earth
Scientists have discovered fossils showing that complex animals existed millions of years before the Cambrian explosion, reshaping the timeline of life on Earth. The finds reveal a strange, diverse ecosystem where early versions of modern animals were already evolving. Ancient Fossil Discovery Rewrites the Timeline of Complex Life A newly identified fossil site in southwest […]

160,000 Years Ago, Hominins in China Were Far More Advanced Than We Thought
New findings from central China are reshaping our understanding of early human innovation. An international team of researchers has identified evidence of advanced stone tool technologies in East Asia dating from 160,000 to 72,000 years ago. The study was recently published in Nature Communications. The project was led by the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and […]

Teenager’s Fossil Find Leads to Discovery of Shark Teeth in 5 Million-Year-Old Whale Skull
Shark teeth found in 5-million-year-old whale skulls provide direct evidence of ancient feeding behavior and predator-prey relationships in the North Sea. Researchers studying two fossilized whale skulls discovered pieces of shark teeth lodged inside the bones, providing rare physical evidence of prehistoric feeding behavior in northern European waters. The research, led by the Royal Belgian […]
Even Occasional Binge Drinking May Triple Liver Damage Risk
That “once-in-a-while” binge could be doing far more damage to your liver than you realize. Many people believe that keeping their alcohol intake low most of the time makes up for the occasional night of heavy drinking. But new research suggests that this pattern may still pose serious risks to liver health. A study from […]
