Could Sugar Tagging in The Brain Help Drive Alzheimer's Disease?

Alzheimer's disease is usually discussed in terms of sticky amyloid plaques, tangled tau proteins, and the slow loss of memory. Those pieces still matter. But a new study adds another layer to the story: the way brain cells decorate proteins with sugar-based molecules.

Is Servodutide The Next Major Advance in Weight Loss Drugs?

Survodutide is not approved as a consumer treatment for fatty liver disease. That is the first bucket to keep the facts in. The second bucket is more interesting: a new phase 3 trial gives the drug a real reason to be watched closely. Phase 3 means the treatment has moved past small early studies and is being tested in a larger, more serious way before regulators decide what to do with it.

Can This Fermented Dish Prevent Heart Attacks and Strokes?

Nattokinase sounds like a lab-made drug, but it starts in a very ordinary place: natto, the sticky fermented soybean food popular in Japan. During fermentation, Bacillus subtilis var. natto produces an enzyme that can break down fibrin, one of the protein threads that helps blood clots hold together. That basic fact explains why nattokinase has attracted so much attention for heart and blood-vessel health.

Is Lifespan Really Half Genetic?

For years, the standard answer about human lifespan has been fairly modest: genes matter, but not as much as people think. Classic twin studies often put the heritability of longevity around 20% to 25%, and a huge family-tree analysis later suggested the genetic contribution might be even lower, partly because families share culture, wealth, geography, habits, and spouse choices as well as DNA [1,2].
