Red meat wreaks havoc on gut and drives inflammatory bowel disease

Centenarians develop diseases more slowly than those who die earlier, with their disease burden leveling off around age 90

Study shows Lyme Disease can disrupt gut bacteria and immune response

Cats with dementia have brain changes similar to those of people with Alzheimer’s disease, offering a valuable model for studying the condition in humans

Researchers have discovered a critical link between the brain’s waste-clearing system and early neuron degeneration in Alzheimer’s disease

University of Michigan-led study finds that people with Alzheimer’s show higher “neural flexibility” — frequent reshuffling of brain networks at rest — and in healthy adults, this same pattern sometimes predicts who will later develop the disease

U-Michigan study finds most Americans prioritized preventing child abuse, domestic violence, and deaths linked to economic hardship over preventing additional COVID-19 deaths during lockdowns; researchers say these preferences highlight the need to balance disease prevention with other societal harm

A comprehensive review on environmental risk factors of cardiovascular disease show noise, climate change, chemical pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, and air pollution as risk factors for cardiovascular diseases

An arterial disease, recently discovered in cats of the Korat breed, resembles genetic familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a cholesterol disorder in humans

"Prolonged sitting" increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, possibly due to preceding impairments in cutaneous vascular function, regardless of ambient temperature

New paper by UCSD scientist posits a general principle that healthy dietary factors can become unhealthy in people with cancer or heart disease

Cancer Drugs May Reverse Alzheimer’s Disease Effects

Adherence to plant based diets reduce the risk of hepatic fibrosis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

A new study found that in mice with Parkinson’s-like disease, breathing lower-oxygen air (like at high altitudes) protected brain cells and improved movement, even after symptoms began.

Measuring insulin levels in saliva offers a non-invasive way to measure metabolic health and can show risk of developing future health concerns, including Type 2 diabetes, obesity and heart disease, without the need for needles or lab-based blood work

Persistent apathy predicts faster functional decline in Alzheimer’s disease

A meta-analysis shows that even taking 7,000 steps per day can lower a person’s risk of disease

New research reveals that tiny amounts of PFAS—widely known as “forever chemicals”—cross the placenta and breast milk to alter infants’ developing immune systems, potentially leaving lasting imprints on their ability to fight disease.
