In 2025, Stanford Medicine researchers published a striking study: by calming one overactive brain region in mice, they were able to switch off autism-like behaviors and restore more typical social interaction, activity, and sensory responses. News headlines quickly exploded with claims that “Stanford reversed autism symptoms.” But what does this […]
For decades, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has stood as one of the most heartbreaking neurodegenerative disorders — an illness that slowly robs people of memory, personality, and independence. One of its hallmark features is the accumulation of sticky clumps of protein, known as Amyloid‑β plaque, between neurons. These plaques are thought […]
In 2025, three scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for cracking one of the most important mysteries in modern biology: How does your immune system know when to attack – and when to stop so it doesn’t destroy your own body? Their work revealed the master […]
Choosing to abstain from sexual activity—whether by choice, life circumstances, or health reasons—is perfectly valid and normal. According to health resources, if you stop having sex, your body won’t necessarily “fall apart” — but you may notice certain physical, hormonal and relational shifts. Below are nine real effects that you […]
In a groundbreaking breakthrough, researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in South Korea have discovered a method to revert cancer cells to a normal-cell state rather than simply destroying them. The study demonstrates that cancer cell reversion can be systematically induced by identifying and flipping […]
In late May 2025, U.S. health authorities announced a major shift: the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) declared that the COVID‑19 vaccination will no longer be routinely recommended for healthy children and pregnant women. The shift has stirred debate—for public-health policy, insurance coverage, and holistic-wellness communities alike. Below […]
Organoids 101: Tiny Organs, Big Impact Organoids are 3D structures grown from human stem cells that mimic the architecture and function of real organs. Because they’re human-based, organoids can predict how a body might respond to a drug, toxin, or infection more accurately than many animal models. This shift supports […]
America is facing a health crisis, and the dozens of fad diets and new pills aren’t helping. People wake up and choose carbs: a bagel, a donut, a sugar-loaded latte. They feel like they need these things in order to wake up properly (or even just to motivate themselves to […]
If you’ve ever sat down for a meal and almost immediately felt the urge to rush to the bathroom, you might worry: “Is something wrong with me?” According to gastroenterologists, this experience is often linked to a normal reflex in your gut. But in some cases, it may hint at […]
Recent research suggests certain medications taken by millions may be associated with a higher risk of dementia—especially strong anticholinergics (e.g., some overactive-bladder drugs), very long-term proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) (evidence mixed), and frequent gabapentin use in specific groups. These are associations, not proof of causation, but they’re worth discussing with a […]
