Single Blood Test and AI Tool Predict Heart Disease 15 Years Early
A research team at the University of Hong Kong has developed an artificial intelligence tool that can turn a single blood test into an early warning system for six major cardiovascular diseases, potentially up to 15 years before symptoms appear. The system, called CardiOmicScore, uses deep learning to analyze thousands of molecules in the blood…

Daily Multivitamin May Slow Biological Aging, Major Trial Finds
A new analysis from the COSMOS trial suggests that taking a daily multivitamin for two years may modestly slow biological aging in older adults. The effect was strongest in people whose cells appeared older than their actual age at the start of the study.

Single Workout Boosts Memory-Linked Brain Waves, Study Finds
A University of Iowa-led team has shown that just one 20-minute cycling session can spark a surge of memory-related brain waves in humans. The findings offer rare, direct evidence that exercise can rapidly tune the brain’s learning and memory networks.

UC Irvine Chemists Reveal Early Spark Behind Age-Related Cataracts
UC Irvine chemists have pinpointed how a tiny chemical tweak in a long-lived eye protein can nudge it toward clumping, offering fresh clues to how age-related cataracts begin and how they might one day be prevented without surgery.

Eye Movement Tests Reveal Hidden Brain Changes Years After Concussion
A new CU Anschutz study finds that specialized eye movement tests can reveal subtle brain changes in veterans more than 10 years after a concussion. The work could reshape how clinicians track recovery and tailor long-term care for mild traumatic brain injury.

Weighted Vests May Protect Bones During Weight Loss — If You Move
A new study of older adults finds that wearing a weighted vest during weight loss may help protect bone density — but only for people who spend more time on their feet. The findings could shape safer weight-loss strategies for aging adults.

Painless Microneedle Skin Patch Offers New Way to Track Immune Health
Scientists have created a quarter-sized microneedle patch that can painlessly pull immune cells and signals from the skin in minutes. The device could transform how doctors track responses to vaccines, infections, cancer therapies and skin diseases.

Collagen Boosts Skin and Joint Health, Not Sports Performance
A sweeping review of nearly 8,000 people finds collagen supplements can improve skin and ease osteoarthritis symptoms over time, but do not meaningfully boost sports performance. Researchers say the results can help cut through hype and guide smarter use.

Midlife Health Conditions May Predict Alzheimer’s Years in Advance
A massive Vanderbilt-led study of electronic health records has pinpointed dozens of medical conditions that tend to show up years before an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. The findings could help doctors spot risk earlier and test new ways to delay or prevent the disease.
