- Scientists discover COVID mRNA vaccines boost cancer survivalna 28/10/2025 u 1:47 pm
Researchers found that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines significantly increased survival in lung and skin cancer patients undergoing immunotherapy. The vaccine appears to prime the immune system in a powerful, nonspecific way, enhancing cancer treatment outcomes. If confirmed, the discovery could lead to a universal cancer vaccine and transform oncology care.
- This easy daily habit cuts heart risk by two thirdsna 28/10/2025 u 7:13 am
New research reveals that walking in longer, uninterrupted bouts of 10–15 minutes significantly lowers cardiovascular disease risk—by up to two-thirds compared to shorter strolls. Scientists from the University of Sydney and Universidad Europea found that even people who walk less than 8,000 steps daily can see major heart health benefits simply by changing how they walk. Those who took their steps in one or two continuous sessions had lower rates of heart attacks, strokes, and death.
- Bananas could be ruining your smoothie’s health benefitsna 28/10/2025 u 3:41 am
Researchers at UC Davis discovered that adding a banana to your smoothie may drastically reduce the absorption of flavanols — powerful compounds linked to heart and brain health. The culprit is polyphenol oxidase (PPO), an enzyme abundant in bananas that interferes with flavanol availability. In experiments, banana-based smoothies cut flavanol absorption by 84% compared to berry-based ones.
- Scientists discover a surprising way to quiet the anxious mindna 28/10/2025 u 2:42 am
Generalized anxiety disorder affects millions, often trapping sufferers in cycles of fear and isolation that conventional medications barely relieve. At UCSF, neuroscientist Jennifer Mitchell is testing a pharmaceutical form of LSD called MM120, which has shown striking results in reducing symptoms by promoting neuroplasticity and easing rigid thought patterns. In clinical trials, a single dose significantly outperformed standard treatments, offering hope to those who have found little relief elsewhere.
- Scientists say gluten isn’t the problem after allna 28/10/2025 u 2:01 am
Groundbreaking research published in The Lancet suggests that most people who believe they’re sensitive to gluten are actually reacting to other factors like FODMAPs or brain-gut dynamics. The study challenges the idea that gluten itself is the culprit behind symptoms in non-coeliac gluten sensitivity. Experts call for better diagnostic tools, more personalized treatment, and an end to unnecessary gluten avoidance.
- Scientists turn “junk DNA” into a powerful weapon against cancerna 27/10/2025 u 3:20 pm
King’s College London researchers discovered that parts of our DNA once thought to be “junk” can actually help destroy cancer cells. In some blood cancers, damaged genes trigger chaos in these DNA segments, leaving cancer cells vulnerable. When scientists used existing drugs to block the cells’ repair systems, the cells collapsed. This finding could open the door to new treatments for hard-to-treat cancers.
- Cavities and gum disease could nearly double stroke riskna 27/10/2025 u 2:18 pm
People with both cavities and gum disease were found to have an 86% higher stroke risk than those with healthy mouths. The study followed thousands of adults for two decades, linking poor oral health with major cardiovascular events. Regular dental checkups dramatically reduced these risks, hinting that simple oral care could play a vital role in stroke prevention.
- Life expectancy gains have slowed sharply, study findsna 27/10/2025 u 3:58 am
Researchers found that life expectancy growth in wealthy nations has dramatically slowed since 1939. Once driven by major reductions in child mortality, longevity gains are now limited by slower progress in older-age survival. The study suggests no generation since 1939 will live to 100 on average, reshaping how societies must plan for aging and pensions.
- Weight-loss drugs like Ozempic may also curb drug and alcohol addictionna 26/10/2025 u 5:14 pm
GLP-1 drugs, originally developed for diabetes and obesity, may also curb addictive behaviors by acting on reward circuits in the brain. Early trials show reductions in alcohol intake, opioid seeking, and nicotine use. Though more research is needed, scientists believe these drugs could open a powerful new front in addiction therapy.
