Boosting Mitochondrial Power Extends Lifespan and Healthspan in Mice

By HarshitTOKYO, DECEMBER 20, 2025 Living longer is no longer the only benchmark of success in aging research. Scientists are increasingly focused on extending healthspan—the portion of life spent in good health, free from major disease and functional decline. New research now suggests that improving how cells generate energy may be a powerful way to […]

Scientists Make Neurons Glow to Watch the Brain Work in Real Time

By HarshitPROVIDENCE, DECEMBER 19, 2025 For decades, neuroscientists have relied on powerful external light sources—lasers, microscopes, and fiber-optic probes—to observe activity inside the living brain. Now, researchers at Brown University have demonstrated a fundamentally different approach: making neurons generate their own light. In a study published in Nature Methods, scientists describe a new bioluminescent imaging

How Prehistoric Plant Art Reveals the Earliest Mathematical Thinking

By HarshitJERUSALEM, DECEMBER 17, 2025 Long before numbers were written and equations were formalized, early human societies were already experimenting with mathematical ideas—using art as their medium. A new study published in the Journal of World Prehistory suggests that some of the world’s earliest plant-based images were not simply decorative but reflected deliberate numerical reasoning

Why Consciousness Evolved: Pain, Awareness, and the Animal Mind

By HarshitNEW DELHI, DECEMBER 16, 2025 From the warmth of sunlight on skin to the sharp jolt of pain after an injury, conscious experience shapes every moment of daily life. Pleasure, discomfort, fear, and even prolonged suffering are not accidental byproducts of biology—they are deeply embedded features of how living beings interact with the world.

Climate Stress, Collapse: Why the Indus Valley Cities Slowly Faded

By HarshitNEW DELHI, DECEMBER 15, 2025 For decades, historians and archaeologists have debated why one of the world’s earliest and most sophisticated urban civilizations gradually disappeared. Now, new climate modeling research suggests the answer lies not in sudden catastrophe, invasion, or disease, but in a long series of persistent environmental stresses that quietly reshaped how

Semaglutide Fails to Slow Alzheimer’s in Major Clinical Trials, Marking a Significant Setback

By Harshit BOSTON, DECEMBER 13, 2025 —Two of the largest Alzheimer’s clinical trials ever conducted have delivered deeply disappointing results for one of America’s most celebrated drug classes. Oral semaglutide — a daily GLP-1 medication widely used for diabetes and weight loss — failed to slow cognitive decline in nearly 4,000 patients with early-stage Alzheimer’s

Heavy and Even Moderate Alcohol Use Linked to Higher Cancer Risk Across Multiple U.S. Populations

By HarshitFLORIDA, DECEMBER 12 — A new systematic review from Florida Atlantic University’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine reinforces a long-established but often overlooked fact: alcohol consumption — even at moderate levels — increases the risk of several major cancers. The findings highlight striking disparities in vulnerability across demographic groups and emphasize the need
