Maintaining a healthy diet rich in plant-based foods, with low to moderate intake of healthy animal-based foods and lower intake of ultra-processed foods, was linked to a higher likelihood of healthy ageing, a new study shows. Healthy ageing is defined as reaching age 70 free of major chronic diseases and with cognitive, physical, and mental [...]
Having lost a great deal of weight appears to offer some protection against ill health even for those who have regained some of their weight loss, new research has found. The study focused on the health consequences of regaining some weight following significant weight loss, an area in which scientific knowledge is limited. Kajsa Sjöholm is [...]
For the first time scientists have identified promising drug candidates that bind irreversibly with a notoriously “undruggable” cancer protein target, permanently blocking it. Transcription factors are proteins that act as ‘master switches’ of gene activity and play a key role in cancer development. Attempts over the years to design “small molecule” drugs that block them [...]
Artificial intelligence-assisted technology helps identify colorectal polyps, a rigorous review of evidence from the US has found. The American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) has now released a new clinical guideline making no recommendation — for or against — the use of computer-aided detection systems (CADe) in colonoscopy based on the research. Colonoscopy is an effective tool [...]
A new study has discovered what researchers say is the first drug to fully reproduce the effects of physical stroke rehabilitation in model mice, following from human studies. The findings tested two candidate drugs derived from their studies on the mechanism of the brain effects of rehabilitation, of which one resulted in significant recovery in [...]
Some individuals who have had anterior-cruciate-ligament reconstruction (ACLR), the kind of surgery often performed on athletes’ knees, may develop early-onset knee osteoarthritis, a new study has revealed. The study indicates that altered knee joint movement after ACLR could be a contributing factor. The study used a unique dynamic X-ray imaging system to accurately measure knee [...]
Caregivers of adult cancer patients have been found to have high levels of traumatic stress in a new review. A new scoping review confirms the toll that caregiving work can take on mental health, showing that more than 15 per cent of those who care for loved ones with cancer suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder [...]
The Healthy Heart study - a study investigating the benefits of digital at-home heart health screening - has revealed how digital screening can lead to improved health. The study revealed that a digital-first approach to screening heart health at home could increase the number of patients testing for cardiovascular disease (CVD), as well as spotting, [...]
Sirio Pharma has announced the launch of a new anti-ageing institute that will work to accelerate research on longevity. The company announced the launch of the Sirio Institute for Anti-Ageing (SIA) at the 2025 Boao Health Food Science Conference & Expo. According to Sirio, the Institute will aim to address population ageing guided by the [...]
