  • Your brain can keep improving into your 90s, study finds
    on June 13, 2026

    A three-year study of nearly 4,000 adults ranging from age 19 to 94 found that brain health can improve at any age, challenging the common belief that mental sharpness must decline as we get older. Participants spent just a few minutes a day on brain-training activities, and researchers found measurable gains across multiple aspects of brain health, including thinking clarity, emotional well-being, and sense of purpose.

  • Learning a musical instrument in your 70s could help protect memory
    on June 13, 2026

    Learning a musical instrument later in life may help keep the brain younger for longer. In a four-year study, older adults who continued practicing maintained their memory performance and showed less age-related brain shrinkage than those who quit. The benefits were especially noticeable in brain regions tied to memory and learning.

  • Why grandparents matter more than ever for children’s mental health
    on June 13, 2026

    A child psychologist says grandparents are more important than ever as youth mental health challenges continue to rise. He argues that children need supportive relationships, meaningful conversations, and a sense of purpose—not just pressure to achieve. Grandparents can help by listening, encouraging, and creating positive experiences that strengthen emotional resilience.

  • A hidden gene finally explains this rare neurological disorder
    on June 13, 2026

    Scientists have uncovered a surprising new genetic cause of a rare movement disorder after analyzing nearly 3,000 patients with conditions affecting coordination and muscle control. The team identified mutations in a gene called CD99L2, previously linked only to the immune system, and showed that it plays an essential role in keeping nerve-cell communication running smoothly.

  • New fentanyl vaccine blocks deadly overdoses before they start
    on June 13, 2026

    A new experimental vaccine developed by Scripps Research could offer a powerful new way to prevent fentanyl overdoses by stopping the drug before it reaches the brain. Rather than targeting only fentanyl itself, the vaccine trains the immune system to recognize a broad range of fentanyl-related designer drugs, including some of the most dangerous variants.

  • These tiny holes could change how the world cleans water
    on June 12, 2026

    A new nature-inspired membrane uses perfectly uniform one-nanometer pores to filter molecules with remarkable precision. The technology could transform industries such as pharmaceuticals and textiles by reducing energy consumption, improving water reuse, and delivering separation performance far beyond current filters.

  • Can fasting fight gum disease? Scientists find surprising link
    on June 12, 2026

    A low-calorie fasting-style diet significantly reduced inflammation linked to gum disease in a small clinical study. The findings suggest that what people eat may influence gum health almost as much as what they do with a toothbrush.

  • Impact of Adherence to a Plant-Based Residential Lifestyle Medicine Program on Cardiometabolic Disease Risk Factors
    on June 12, 2026

    Background: Residential lifestyle medicine programs have documented immediate and long-term improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors. Despite this, adherence among participants varies in such programs, limiting the positive outcomes that can be achieved. This study aimed to assess how adherence to positive lifestyle behaviors correlates with cardiometabolic risk factors at the end of a residential lifestyle medicine program and at three or more months of follow-up. Methods: Patients […]

  • Oral Microbiota Characteristics in Relation to Different Dietary Patterns: A Systematic Review
    on June 12, 2026

    Background: Diet is a key modifiable factor influencing oral health and may shape the oral microbiota. While individual nutrients, especially free sugars, have been widely studied, the role of overall dietary patterns remains unclear. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the association between dietary patterns and oral microbiota in humans. Methods: PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science were searched up to 18 March 2026. Studies assessing defined dietary patterns (Mediterranean, […]

  • Effect of vegetarian diets on CRP: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials in adults
    on June 10, 2026

    Growing evidence suggests vegetarian diets offer several advantages over omnivorous ones. Existing research has reported findings on adherence to various types of vegetarian diets and their effects on C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, but the results have been inconsistent. Current systematic review and meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) was conducted to examine whether an association exists between vegetarian diets and C-reactive protein (CRP). Online databases: Scopus, ISI […]

  • Differences in the Prevalence of Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections in Women Based on Dietary Habits
    on June 10, 2026

    CONCLUSIONS: Compared to nonvegetarians, lacto-ovo-vegetarians and vegans have a 23% and 31% lower association of rUTI. In an age of increasing bacterial resistance, non-antibiotic prophylactic interventions with dietary modification to a more plant-based diet may add to the armamentarium for managing rUTI.

  • Plant protein and body weight in postmenopausal women: a secondary analysis from a randomized clinical trial
    on June 9, 2026

    CONCLUSIONS: Replacing animal protein with plant protein was associated with decreased body weight, independent of changes in energy intake. A dose-response relationship was observed between reducing animal protein intake and increasing plant protein consumption, and weight loss.
