» Alzheimer’s drugs may not work and could raise brain risks
04/05/26 05:42 from ScienceDaily: Today's Healthcare News
Drugs designed to clear amyloid beta from the brain—once seen as a promising path to slowing Alzheimer’s—may not actually help patients in any meaningful way, according to a major review of over 20,000 participants. Even more concerning,...

» Scientists discover a hidden brain “cleaning” effect triggered by movement
02/05/26 03:04 from ScienceDaily: Today's Healthcare News
Scientists have uncovered a surprising link between simple body movement and brain health: every time you tighten your abdominal muscles—even slightly—your brain may gently sway inside your skull. This subtle motion, triggered by pressur...

» MIT study finds children more vulnerable to cancer-causing chemical in water
29/04/26 05:06 from ScienceDaily: Today's Healthcare News
A troubling new study from MIT reveals that a common environmental contaminant, NDMA—found in polluted water, certain medications, and even processed foods—may pose a far greater cancer risk to children than adults. In experiments with m...

» MIT scientists turn chaotic laser light into powerful brain imaging tool
28/04/26 08:55 from ScienceDaily: Today's Healthcare News
Scientists at MIT discovered that chaotic laser light can spontaneously form a highly focused beam instead of scattering—if the conditions are just right. This “pencil beam” enabled them to image the blood-brain barrier in 3D at speeds 2...

» Scientists discover how to freeze transplant organs without cracking them
27/04/26 14:02 from ScienceDaily: Today's Healthcare News
Scientists are making a major leap toward freezing organs for future use without damaging them. A new study reveals that one of the biggest obstacles—cracking during ultra-cold preservation—can be reduced by carefully tuning the temperat...

» Scientists may have found the brain’s switch for chronic pain
27/04/26 12:37 from ScienceDaily: Today's Healthcare News
Deep within the brain, scientists have uncovered a hidden “switch” that may decide whether pain fades away—or lingers for months or even years. Researchers found that a small, little-known region called the caudal granular insular cortex...

» Fish oil may be hurting your brain, new study finds
26/04/26 05:57 from ScienceDaily: Today's Healthcare News
Fish oil has long been praised as brain-boosting, but new research suggests the story may be more complicated. Scientists found that in people with repeated mild head injuries, a key omega-3 fatty acid in fish oil—EPA—may actually interf...

» Simple “gut reset” may stop weight gain after Ozempic or Wegovy
23/04/26 06:45 from ScienceDaily: Today's Healthcare News
A new minimally invasive procedure may help people keep weight off after stopping popular drugs like Ozempic and semaglutide—something most patients struggle with. In a clinical trial, those who underwent a technique called duodenal muco...

» A simple blood test could reveal Alzheimer’s risk years early
22/04/26 12:36 from ScienceDaily: Today's Healthcare News
A routine blood marker tied to inflammation may reveal Alzheimer’s risk years in advance. Scientists found that higher neutrophil levels—part of the body’s first immune response—were linked to a greater chance of developing dementia. The...

» Two common drugs may reverse fatty liver disease, study finds
22/04/26 04:51 from ScienceDaily: Today's Healthcare News
Scientists have discovered that combining two existing drugs can dramatically reduce liver fat linked to a common and often silent disease. The treatment not only improved liver health in animal models but also showed potential to lower ...

» Scientists discover skincare compound that kills drug-resistant bacteria
21/04/26 05:33 from ScienceDaily: Today's Healthcare News
A popular Korean skincare ingredient may be far more powerful than anyone realized. Scientists have discovered that madecassic acid—derived from the herb Centella asiatica—can stop antibiotic-resistant bacteria in their tracks, including...

» Artificial neurons successfully communicate with living brain cells
18/04/26 07:32 from ScienceDaily: Today's Healthcare News
Engineers at Northwestern University have taken a striking leap toward merging machines with the human brain by printing artificial neurons that can actually communicate with real ones. These flexible, low-cost devices generate lifelike ...

» Scientists discover bacteria can “explode” to spread antibiotic resistance
17/04/26 11:44 from ScienceDaily: Today's Healthcare News
Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how bacteria share genes—including those that spread antibiotic resistance. Tiny virus-like particles called gene transfer agents (GTAs), once ancient viral invaders, have been repurposed b...

» Scientists remove “zombie” cells and reverse liver damage in mice
16/04/26 11:59 from ScienceDaily: Today's Healthcare News
A rogue set of “zombie” immune cells may be driving aging and fatty liver disease by flooding tissues with inflammation. Researchers found these cells accumulate with age and high cholesterol—and can make up most of the liver’s immune ce...

» Common IBS medications linked to higher risk of death in major study
16/04/26 09:19 from ScienceDaily: Today's Healthcare News
A massive, nearly 20-year study tracking over 650,000 Americans with irritable bowel syndrome is raising new questions about the long-term safety of common treatments. Researchers found that some widely used medications—including antidep...
