A 47-year study reveals the age when your body starts losing strength
A 47-year study has uncovered a surprising turning point in physical aging: fitness and strength begin declining around age 35, even among people who exercise regularly. Researchers found that this decline accelerates as people get older, but starting to exercise in adulthood can still improve physical performance.
Cancer is rising in younger adults, and scientists can't fully explain why
A major study found that several cancers are rising faster among younger adults in England, even as smoking, diet, and other established risk factors have generally improved. Excess weight explains only part of the increase, leaving scientists searching for other possible causes, including changes in the gut microbiome and early-life exposures.
Scientists discover how harmful “zombie cells” hide from the immune system
Scientists have discovered a protein that may help harmful aging cells hide from the immune system, allowing them to accumulate and fuel age-related health problems. Blocking the protein in mice reduced these cells and inflammation while improving blood sugar regulation and strength, offering a promising new direction for anti-aging research.
New knee arthritis treatment delivers lasting pain relief without surgery
A promising new treatment for knee arthritis uses tiny, dissolvable particles to block abnormal blood vessels, easing inflammation and pain without joint replacement surgery. In a study of 194 patients, 80% experienced clinically meaningful pain relief lasting at least 12 months.
Scientists discover a surprising paradox in how our cells age
Scientists have discovered that the body's cellular recycling system behaves very differently during aging than previously believed, with higher activity sometimes linked to worse physical health. A small study suggests that even gentle exercise could help restore more youthful cellular recycling patterns in older adults.
Scientists find hidden driver of aging and a simple amino acid that fights memory loss in mice
Scientists discovered that declining levels of a protein called Menin may help drive aging, and restoring it in older mice reversed several age-related changes in just 30 days. Even more surprisingly, supplementing with a simple amino acid called D-serine improved memory and learning, offering a potential new approach to age-related cognitive decline.

Nationwide Danish study reaffirms benefits and risks of menopausal hormone therapy by route of administration
A large nationwide case-control study from Denmark, published this month, examines associations between current use of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) and risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), ischaemic stroke, and myocardial infarction (MI).MHT remains an effective and well-established treatment for menopausal symptoms, with recognised benefits for quality of life and bone health. As with all treatments, [...]
