Scientists have developed a wireless, handheld, and non-invasive device that may be able to detect biomarkers for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease early.

Scientists have identified the genes in a certain probiotic bacteria that may help improve gut motility and relieve constipation.

A new study indicates that switching to a healthier diet at age 40 is associated with 8 added years of life.

New research looking at data from United States veterans has found a link between a lower death risk in chronic kidney disease and taking prescription statins, a type of cholesterol-lowering drugs.

An innovative nanoparticle delivery system could in the future help treat brain inflammation, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease.

Research in mice and laboratory samples suggests that some colorectal cancer tumors may use cholesterol to develop, so cholesterelor-lowering drugs might help target this mechanism.

People with epilepsy who took CBD reported improvements in cognition, emotional function as well as seizure frequency and severity, a survey showed.

A new study from Hong Kong has found that, despite clinical trials claiming otherwise, weight loss rarely sends type 2 diabetes into remission in real-world settings.

A blood test that screens for Alzheimer’s disease may detect changes in amyloid beta and tau protein levels in the brain years before symptoms emerge, a new study suggests.

Researchers are investigating ways of fighting mitochondrial dysfunction, a potential marker of Alzheimer’s, in a bid to find new treatments for the disease.

Researchers from China have found an association between high dietary niacin (vitamin B3) consumption and lower risk of all-cause and cardiovascular-disease-related mortality in people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
