“Higher education means you won’t get dementia”—it sounds reassuring, but the science is more nuanced. “Higher education means you won’t get dementia”—it sounds reassuring, but the science is more nuanced. This article explains, in clear...

In recent years, cancer and aging have increasingly been understood not as separate biological phenomena, but as interconnected processes. Immune decline and chronic inflammation in cancer patients may not be caused solely by treatment s...

Recent research highlights that aging and obesity each independently promote cancer progression and can act synergistically to worsen outcomes. Recent research highlights that aging and obesity each independently promote cancer progressi...
