Scientists reversed biological age in older adults with a 4-week diet change

Older adults who cut back on dietary fat or reduced the amount of animal-based protein they consumed showed signs of becoming biologically younger, according to new research from the University of Sydney. The study, published in Aging Cell, found that adults between the ages of 65 and 75 experienced reductions…

Scientists discover hidden fat-burning switch that could strengthen bones

Scientists have uncovered a molecular “switch” in mice that turns on a hidden energy-burning system inside brown fat, a discovery that could eventually help researchers develop new treatments for bone disease. The findings, published in Nature, provide new insight into how brown fat works. Unlike white fat, which stores energy,…

Scientists say this algae could remove microplastics from drinking water

Researchers at the University of Missouri are developing a new way to remove tiny plastic pollutants from water using specially engineered algae. Susie Dai, a researcher at Mizzou, recently created a modified strain of algae designed to capture harmful microplastics from contaminated water. Her long term goal is not only…

Giornata internazionale dell’infermiere, Mattarella: ‘Il Servizio sanitario nazionale opera per il principio inderogabile di uguaglianza’ – Politica – Ansa.it

“La nascita del Servizio sanitario nazionale nel 1978, superando il sistema delle mutue, rendeva operante il principio inderogabile di uguaglianza, espresso dalla Costituzione che, con l’articolo 32, riconosce la tutela della salute come “fondamentale diritto dell’individuo e interesse della collettività”. Lo ha detto il presidente della Repubblica, Sergio Mattarella alla…

This strange giant dinosaur may change what we know about Jurassic titans

Long necks, enormous bodies, tiny heads, and sweeping tails have made sauropods some of the most recognizable dinosaurs ever discovered. These plant eating giants included the largest land animals in Earth’s history, with some species reaching lengths of nearly 130 feet (40 meters). Famous examples include Diplodocus and Brachiosaurus. Now,…

Stunning fossil discovery challenges the origins of animal life

Scientists studying ancient microfossils from Brazil have discovered that structures once believed to be traces left behind by tiny animals were actually formed by communities of microscopic bacteria and algae. The findings challenge previous ideas about when small animals first appeared on Earth and suggest oxygen levels in ancient oceans…

Scientists discover hidden chemical signature that could reveal alien life

For decades, scientists searching for life beyond Earth have focused on one central challenge: identifying the right molecules to look for on distant planets and moons. But new research published in Nature Astronomy suggests the answer may lie not in the molecules themselves, but in the hidden patterns that connect…

This simple strength test could predict how long you live

Getting enough exercise is important for healthy aging, but new research suggests muscle strength may play an equally critical role. A large study led by researchers at the University at Buffalo found that older women with greater strength had a significantly lower risk of death, even after accounting for physical…
