A Hidden Vitamin Deficiency That Mimics Normal Aging
Many people—and even some clinicians—mistake vitamin B12 deficiency for ordinary aging. This article explains how to recognize, test for, and treat B12 deficiency so you can protect memory, energy, and nerve health.
Neurons Break DNA to Build the Brain — Why It Matters
Recent neuroscience research shows that neurons intentionally create and repair DNA breaks during development and activity to regulate gene expression and sculpt neural circuits. This surprising process helps build complexity but also creates vulnerability to neurological disease when repair goes awry.
How Scientists Discovered H5N1's Hidden Spread in Dairy Cows
Researchers uncovered the biological and surveillance gaps that allowed H5N1 avian influenza to persist undetected in dairy herds, revealing implications for milk safety, farm biosecurity, and One Health preparedness.
Beyond Ozempic: How the Next Wave Will Transform Obesity Care
Semaglutide drugs like Ozempic have shifted how medicine treats obesity, but scientists and clinicians say an even larger transformation is coming — driven by next-generation drugs, combination therapies, and a reimagining of care delivery that pairs medicines with prevention, policy, and personalized strategies.
Long-Lived Families Reveal Rare Gene Clues to Healthy Aging
Family-based studies of centenarians and long-lived relatives are pointing to rare genetic variants and protective pathways that help preserve health with age. Understanding these clues could shift medicine from treating disease to boosting resilience across the life course.
When a DNA Repair Gene Turned Rogue: A Cancer Vulnerability
A mutated DNA repair gene that once protected cells can create a fatal flaw in tumors. Understanding how repair breakdowns expose cancer to targeted therapies transforms diagnosis and treatment strategies.
