Fatigue is more than just feeling tired — for many older adults, it can be a persistent, life-disrupting condition that affects physical health, mental well-being, and overall quality of life. As we age, our bodies change, and so does the way we experience energy and exhaustion. While occasional tiredness is normal, chronic fatigue in older […]
What if scientists could press fast-forward on evolution to quickly build better medicines? That’s essentially what Scripps Research has unveiled with T7-ORACLE, a clever “evolution engine” that reprograms proteins inside bacteria at astonishing speed — without harming the cell’s own DNA. Think of it as a safe test track where new protein versions can be […]
A virus from black-eyed peas might just be the next big thing in cancer treatment — and no, you don’t have to eat your veggies to benefit! Scientists at the University of California San Diego have discovered that the cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV), a harmless plant virus, can supercharge the human immune system to hunt […]
In a groundbreaking development that promises to reshape the landscape of medicine, scientists at the University of Sydney’s Neely Lab and the Centenary Institute have unveiled PROTEUS (PROTein Evolution Using Selection). This innovative, virus-inspired biological machine is poised to accelerate the creation of more effective gene-editing tools, highly specific mRNA-based medicines, and therapeutic proteins designed […]
A new study from Emory University has revealed that psilocin — the active compound formed in the body after ingesting psilocybin from psychedelic mushrooms — may have a powerful effect on aging. According to the research, which involved both lab-grown human cells and live mice, psilocin significantly extended lifespan and improved markers of healthy aging. […]

In a study published in PLOS One and Digital Biomarkers, residents of retirement communities aged 60+ were assigned to structured walking programs: one group walked […]
A vibrant wave is sweeping through retirement-age America: 57 million gamers in the U.S. are aged 50 or older, and they’re igniting virtual battlefields, puzzle worlds, and social lobbies with confidence and joy. Michelle “TacticalGramma” Statham, a 60-year‑old Call of Duty livestreamer with over 110,000 followers, proves age is no barrier — she even raised thousands for […]
Researchers at Duke, Harvard, and the University of Otago have created DunedinPACNI, a “mid‑life MRI aging clock” using just a single brain scan—typically around age 45—to reveal how fast your brain is biologically aging and flag future risks like dementia, frailty, stroke, or heart attack. This isn’t just another doctor’s date — it’s a wellness […]
In a groundbreaking study, Microsoft’s team introduced MAI‑DxO, an AI “orchestrator” that effectively mimics a panel of clinicians diagnosing the toughest medical cases from NEJM. This system tackles 304 real-world, narrative-based cases using a sequential diagnosis benchmark, where AI asks questions, orders tests, learns from results, and reaches the correct diagnosis 85.5% of the time. […]
