Ramadan is one of the most significant months of the Islamic lunar calendar. It marks the time when the Quran was revealed to Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him).

People from different ethnic backgrounds may report physical symptoms rather than purely cognitive difficulties, leading to delays in the diagnosis of dementia.

Older adults have the highest rates of suicide in the U.S. population, but most well-known national suicide prevention organizations do not have easily accessible prevention resources targeting this population, according to a new study led by researchers at McLean Hospital a member of the Mass General Brigham health care system. Their findings, published this month in The American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, highlight the urgent need for suicide prevention efforts that address the unique health care needs of older adults.

Integrating cognitive tasks into physical warmups can significantly enhance sport, exercise, and cognitive performance, even under conditions of sleep deprivation, a new study has revealed.

New research co-led by the University of Liverpool offers valuable insights to improve health care for elderly residents in rural Chinese villages who are at risk of life-threatening heart conditions.

“Who wants to live forever?” Freddie Mercury mournfully asks in Queen’s 1986 song of the same name.

There’s been a global trend in the reduction of aid to Africa since 2018. Donors are shifting their funding priorities in response to domestic and international agendas.

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center researchers have found RNA neoantigen vaccines that generate long-lived, functional CD8+ T cells in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), potentially delaying disease recurrence.

A research team has identified different subtypes of white matter (WM) astrocytes, including a unique type with the ability to multiply and potentially aid in brain repair. Using single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, the scientists mapped astrocyte diversity across different brain regions and species, providing the first detailed molecular profile of WM astrocytes.

Adult human hearts possess limited regenerative abilities, so losing cardiomyocytes (CMs) after injury can result in contractile dysfunction and heart failure. In contrast, neonatal mammalian hearts can regenerate, though the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear.
