Researchers have discovered a new potential way to prevent arteries clogging, and as such reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. The technique involves ramping up a cleaning process that naturally slows down as we age.

Scientists have uncovered a promising pathway in Alzheimer's research, discovering that an experimental drug can supercharge a natural cellular cleaning mechanism to rid mice brains of unwanted waste products, and reverse key symptoms of the disease

A study is reporting successful clinical trial results for a new orally administered iteration in a novel class of drugs designed to treat migraine, ahead of a potential FDA approval later this year. But some scientists are questioning how clinically useful these new migraine drugs actually are. ​

There are simpler ways we can improve our understanding of the brain than mapping it in its entirety Enter a roundworm which scientists have been used as a model to study the human brain for some time, but have now just created the first complete map of its entire nervous system.​

The key to living longer may reside deep in our brains. In a major breakthrough for our understanding of how the brain controls aging, scientists managed to both speed up and slow down the aging process in mice by disrupting the volume of neural stem cells found in the hypothalamus.

While it may seem natural to believe the trend of increasing life expectancy will continue, scientists at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine believe that not only is there a natural limit to the maximum age humans can reach, but we hit that peak 20 years ago.

An experimental nanoparticle therapy cuts in half the time wounds take to heal compared to natural healing. It could find use in treating a variety of cuts, burns, and wounds, including more serious issues such chronic skin ulcers and surgical incisions.

Researchers have found that altering signal pathways within the hypothalamus has the potential to slow down the aging process and increase longevity in mice.

A novel imaging technique utilizes a newly-engineered fluorescent protein for imaging the internal organs of animals.
