The first aceclidine-based eye drop to improve near vision in adults with age-related presbyopia, which affects more than 100 million adults in the US alone, has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and will be on sale by November. -
In a new study from the University of Oregon, scientists turned up the temperature to see which type of passive heat therapy packs the most health punch – hot baths, traditional saunas, or those fancy far-infrared saunas. -
Adding to the growing body of research that proves our microbiome is a powerful ally in fighting disease, scientists have found that an easy-to-get nutrient in our food causes our guts to produce powerful insulin-regulating compounds.

A gummy packed with heat-inactivated bacteria could be an easy way to prevent gum disease, with scientists demonstrating that this simple measure alleviates inflammation without upsetting the mouth's microbiome, regardless of oral hygiene habits. -
A landmark study is due to start in the coming months, and if successful it could ultimately revive our immune system in older age and even treat chronic illnesses like autoimmune disease. The Phase 1 trial is aiming to rejuvenate senescent T cells. -
In a massive study of 82,826 adults, bright artificial light in the evenings has been tied to age-related eye disease. At the extreme, light exposure was linked to a worrying increase in age-related macular degeneration, cataracts and glaucoma. -
Scientists have not just found a new way that aging cells drive inflammation, but have also blocked it from happening with an existing FDA-approved drug. This opens the door to an entirely new way to shield the body from age-related health decline. -
In California alone, more than 550 workers have been diagnosed with silicosis caused by this engineered stone used in kitchen construction. This deadly disease is completely preventable – however, once it develops, there's no cure. -
We may be on the cusp of understanding whether we can turn back time for our cells to stave off age-related disease, with the first human receiving experimental gene therapy as part of a landmark trial. -
We might be on the verge of a critical breakthrough treatment for pattern hair loss, with a novel slow-release oral drug meeting its significant endpoints in a Phase II/III trial of 519 patients. The next results are due later this year. -
The condition affects how certain adult teeth form in early childhood. It isn’t caused by lack of brushing, sugar or poor dental habits, but by something that disrupts the enamel formation before the teeth even erupt. -
Anti-aging peptides have become one of the most talked-about experimental treatments in this emerging area of science – and one in particular, GHK-Cu, has shot to fame this year. So, what is it exactly? We separate the reality from the hype. -
Grabbing that late-night kebab or pizza slice after a few drinks may not be a sign of poor willpower, but a biological drive that once would have seen us seek protein but now leads us straight into the comforting arms of savory ultra-processed foods. -
For the first time, researchers have linked a gene thought to be responsible for ulcerative colitis with a mechanism of attack, opening the way to new diagnostic tools and opportunities for more targeted treatment. -
The US has broken a two-decade drought with the Food and Drug Administration adding bemotrizinol to the list of approved active ingredients that can be used in sunscreen, paving the way for more effective protection from ultraviolet radiation. -
A novel way to brew coffee without boiling water or high pressure harnesses the power of sound waves, slashing time and energy. -
In the US, 6,000 women enter menopause every day, or 1.3 million in a year. Now, a study sheds light on the brain connectivity changes that happen in this phase, paving the way to finally understanding and ideally treating midlife cognitive decline. -
People who don’t like to work out will sometimes joke that they’re “allergic” to exercise. But what many don’t realise is that an allergy to exercise is a real thing – and it can be dangerous if not caught in time.
