  • This common sugar builds stronger cancer-killing T cells
    on September 8, 2025

    Scientists have uncovered a sweet twist in the body’s fight against cancer. Glucose, best known as the fuel that powers our cells, also helps immune cells called T cells communicate and organize their attack on tumors. By turning sugar into special building blocks, T cells strengthen their internal signals and become far more effective cancer killers.

  • Flamingos reveal their secret to staying young
    on September 7, 2025

    Some animals don’t age at the same pace, and flamingos may hold the key to why. A decades-long study in France reveals that resident flamingos, which stay put, enjoy early-life advantages but pay later with accelerated aging, while migratory flamingos endure early hardships yet age more slowly. This surprising link between movement and longevity challenges old assumptions and offers new insights into the science of aging.

  • One number at age 7 could predict how long you live
    on September 7, 2025

    Children with higher blood pressure as young as age 7 face a sharply increased risk of dying from cardiovascular disease by their mid-50s, according to a massive decades-long study. Researchers found that even moderately elevated readings, not just full hypertension, raised the danger, with risks climbing as much as 40–50%.

  • Scientists just made CRISPR three times more effective
    on September 7, 2025

    Northwestern scientists have developed a new nanostructure that supercharges CRISPR’s ability to safely and efficiently enter cells, potentially unlocking its full power to treat genetic diseases. By wrapping CRISPR’s tools in spherical DNA-coated nanoparticles, researchers tripled gene-editing success rates, improved precision, and dramatically reduced toxicity compared to current methods.

  • Common allergy spray slashes COVID-19 risk in surprising trial
    on September 7, 2025

    A common hay fever nasal spray was found to cut COVID-19 infections by two-thirds in a clinical trial, while also reducing rhinovirus cases. Researchers believe it could serve as an easy, low-cost preventive measure, pending further studies.

  • Strange new bacteria found in Amazon sand flies. Could it spread to humans?
    on September 6, 2025

    A newly discovered species of Bartonella bacteria in Brazil’s Amazon sand flies shares DNA similarities with dangerous Andean strains. Scientists stress the need for further studies to see if it can infect humans and spread beyond its known regions.

  • A common supplement could reverse the hidden harm of sucralose
    on September 6, 2025

    Sucralose, the sugar substitute in many diet products, may weaken cancer immunotherapy by altering gut bacteria and reducing arginine levels needed for immune cells. But supplementation with arginine or citrulline could counteract this effect, pointing to new clinical trial possibilities.
