Gliomas are malignant brain tumors that originate from glial cells, which do not produce electrical impulses like neurons but instead support neurons by maintaining their structure and function. They are the most common form of brain cancer in adults and hijack normal neuronal signaling, especially the protein neuroligin-3 (NLGN3), released by active nerve cells, to fuel their own growth and spread into healthy brain tissue. Researchers wanted to uncover how NLGN3 interacts with glioma cells and

Sativa and indica are the two main types of cannabis. Hybrid cannabis is a combination of both sativa and indica. Sativa has a higher THC content, so it's more energizing, while indica has a higher CBD content and makes you feel calm and relaxed.

Recently, I’ve noticed that my seated posture I naturally gravitate towards—legs crossed, back slightly hunched—isn’t doing me any favors. And I’m not just talking about my back or my circulation.

Small, sustainable changes can make a big difference in your disease risk.

There are a lot of wellness coaches in the world who base their advice solely on vibes, but not Vancouver-based author Catherine Roscoe Barr.

Professor Tim Spector reveals the simple daily habits that research suggests can make the biggest difference to your health after 50

Outfitting cells in "invisibility cloaks" may offer an easier, less damaging treatment pathway for people with diabetes undergoing cell therapy, according to researchers at Penn State.

AI-based "tissue clocks" can estimate the biological age of human organs from histological images, researchers at the CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Network Medicine (LBI-NetMed) at the University of Vienna showed. By analyzing more than 25,000 tissue samples across 40 tissue types, their study reveals that organs age at different rates throughout life and that these changes can even be detected from blood

Your biological age isn't fixed, and that's good news for your brain health

Burning fat isn't just about pushing yourself harder.

Scientists successfully engineered lettuce to produce a key muscle protein that could one day become a food ingredient, offering a new approach to producing it at scale.

Your brain's future may be shaped by a place you rarely think about.

Here’s what that means for you.

The choices you make now will define how you look, feel and perform in your 50s, 60s and beyond. Here's your ultimate midlife checklist

Experts say sleep and recovery are the missing link for men trying to stay strong in midlife. Here's what better sleep looks like

Here’s why the thermostat matters more than you think.

Eating barberries is not the same as taking a berberine supplement, as the berries contain much lower amounts of berberine than the plant’s roots and stems. Berberine supplements may help lower LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood sugar levels, but most studies have been small and short-term.

Scientists can't prepare for future viral threats if they don't know what's already in the environment. That's the idea behind an international research project involving the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM), where researchers created the largest known atlas of RNA viruses found in urban and peri-urban environments worldwide.

It's surprisingly easy to enhance your energy on a cellular level.

What do "epigenetic clocks" actually measure? These lab tests have become popular tools for studying biological aging, or how the body's cellular function changes at a faster or slower rate than expected. However, the underlying biology behind each of these measurements has remained largely unknown until now.

Iron is essential. Our cells need it to produce energy, carry oxygen throughout the body and power countless chemical reactions that sustain life. But this metal has a dark side. When too much of it is left free inside cells, it can trigger destructive reactions that break down DNA, proteins and even cell membranes.

Experts share everything you need to know about this important health marker and the lifestyle choices that will keep it in check.

Fewer hot flashes and night sweats may not be the only upside.

Researchers at WashU Medicine have shown that cells originating in bone and best known for their role in bone formation are recruited to primary breast tumors, where they become cancer-associated fibroblasts, a type of cell that helps create the environment tumors need to grow.
