Welcome to our second post in our Gut Health series — a six-week deep dive into one of the most researched areas in modern medicine. If you missed part one, catch up by clicking here. There are a lot of wellness trends that make researchers roll their eyes. Raw water. Charcoal lemonade. Eating cotton balls
There are more microorganisms living in your gut right now than there are stars in the Milky Way. Scientists estimate the number at around 38 trillion; outnumbering the human cells in your body by a ratio that researchers are still debating but agree is staggering. For most of medical history, these organisms were either unknown or dismissed
Scientists at the University of Cambridge have created a new kind of vaccine; and for the first time ever, its key ingredient was designed entirely by artificial intelligence. The goal? To protect people not just from viruses we know today, but from ones that haven’t even infected humans yet. Here’s the problem with most vaccines:
Welcome back to the final part of our blog series on the science of longevity and aging! For most of human history, aging was viewed as inevitable and largely untouchable. Medicine focused on treating illness after it appeared, while aging itself remained outside the reach of science. That perspective is beginning to change. Over the past
Welcome back to Part 5 of our ongoing series diving into the science of Longevity and Aging! For much of modern healthcare, treatment begins after disease appears. But longevity research is helping drive a major shift in thinking: What if the best way to live longer is to prevent disease before it starts? This is the foundation
Welcome back to our ongoing series on Longevity and Aging! For most of modern medical history, aging has not been treated as something doctors could directly target. Instead, medicine has focused on individual diseases, treating them one at a time as they appear. But a growing number of scientists are now asking a different question:
Welcome back to our ongoing series on Longevity and Aging! In Part 2 of this series, we established that aging is driven by the gradual breakdown of cellular systems. This would mean metabolism, defined in the next paragraph, sits at the center of the process. Metabolism refers to the chemical reactions that allow your body
Welcome back to JoinAStudy’s ongoing series on Longevity and Aging! In the first article of this series, we explored the biological processes that cause aging. Scientists now know aging is not controlled by a single factor but by many cellular systems that gradually lose efficiency over time. The next big question researchers are trying to answer is
Welcome to part one of a multi-part series exploring the science of aging, separating evidence-based medicine from hype while highlighting active research shaping the future of longevity related healthcare. Over the course of the next few weeks, we will be diving into the cellular processes that cause aging, and looking more closely at longevity drugs
Researchers have found that a probiotic commonly found in kimchi, a traditional Korean fermented food, may help the body remove tiny plastic particles from the gut. These particles, known as nanoplastics, are extremely small (about one-millionth of a meter or less) and are formed when larger plastics break down. They can enter the human body
