A randomized clinical trial found that daily multivitamin–multimineral supplements slightly slowed some DNA-based markers of biological aging in older adults. A daily multivitamin–multimineral supplement may do more than fill nutritional gaps. In a study of 958 older adults, researchers found that two years of daily supplementation modestly slowed changes in certain DNA-based markers linked to […]
Study of 6 Million People Could Rewrite How We Understand Mental Health
A massive genetic analysis of more than 6 million people is revealing new clues about why mental health disorders frequently overlap. An international group of scientists has uncovered new evidence explaining why many mental health disorders tend to occur together. By examining genetic data from more than 6 million people, the researchers explored how over […]
Scientists Discover How to Stop Vision Loss Before It Starts
Scientists have identified molecules that can protect the eye’s cone cells from degeneration, a major cause of vision loss. The discovery points to new drug targets—and even uncovers compounds that may be harmful. Researchers led by Botond Roska at the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel (IOB), along with an international team, have uncovered […]

Antarctica’s Ancient Ice Cycles Once Controlled Life in Distant Oceans
Ancient Antarctic ice sheet cycles affected subtropical ocean productivity by altering nutrient circulation. The 40,000-year obliquity cycle played an unexpectedly strong role, revealing deep global climate connections. Fluctuations in Antarctica’s ice sheets once influenced marine life far beyond the polar regions, shaping biological productivity in subtropical oceans thousands of miles away. This conclusion comes from […]

The Mediterranean Isn’t Safe: Scientists Warn of Inevitable Tsunami
Contrary to common belief, the Mediterranean holds a significant and underrecognized tsunami risk, with waves capable of striking coastlines in minutes. The Mediterranean Sea is often dismissed as a low-risk zone for tsunamis, but that assumption is increasingly being challenged. Historical records and modern simulations show that powerful waves have already struck the French Riviera […]
This Deadly Parasite Stays Invisible by Shredding Its Own Genes
A deadly parasite stays hidden by shredding its own genetic instructions—now scientists finally know how. To survive inside the human bloodstream, the African trypanosome parasite disguises itself with a protective “cloak” made of proteins called variant surface glycoproteins (VSG). New research published in Nature Microbiology has identified a key protein that helps the parasite carefully […]
