Johns Hopkins scientists uncovered microscopic “nanotube” channels that neurons use to transfer toxic molecules. While this process clears waste, it can also spread harmful proteins like amyloid-beta. Alzheimer’s-model mice showed more nanotubes early on, hinting at a link to disease development. Researchers hope to one day control nanotube formation as a potential therapy. ​Johns Hopkins …

A study found that daily vitamin D supplements helped slow telomere shortening—the cellular process linked to aging and disease. Researchers believe its anti-inflammatory effects may protect DNA. While results are promising, the ideal dose remains unclear, and experts stress that lifestyle choices still matter most for longevity. ​A study found that daily vitamin D supplements …

A powerful new drug combination—niraparib added to standard prostate cancer therapy—has been shown to significantly delay disease progression in men with specific DNA repair gene mutations. In the large AMPLITUDE trial, patients receiving the combo lived longer without symptoms worsening and saw nearly a 50% risk reduction in BRCA-mutated cases. While side effects like anemia …
