| Your Blood Test Might Already Show Alzheimer’s Risk |
|
|
2026-04-27 11:10:46 +00:00
 A routine blood test might spot Alzheimer’s risk long before symptoms begin. Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that serve as rapid responders in the immune system. Their levels rise quickly during infection or inflammation, which changes the balance between neutrophils and other immune cells circulating in the blood. Doctors can measure this [...]

| New Brain Discovery Challenges Long-Held Theory of Teenage Brain Development |
|
|
2026-04-26 20:32:31 +00:00
 Adolescence is widely thought to be a time when the brain trims away excess neural connections, refining circuits through synaptic pruning. New research now suggests this view may be incomplete. Adolescence is when the brain’s “control center” keeps coming online. As teens move toward adulthood, skills like planning ahead, weighing consequences, and solving unfamiliar problems [...]

| Sharks Are Overheating as Warming Oceans Push Them to the Edge |
|
|
2026-04-26 19:57:16 +00:00
 Ocean giants are overheating—and climate change is leaving them with nowhere to go. A new study shows that some of the ocean’s most powerful predators are running hotter than scientists expected, and it could come at a growing cost. These animals already require large amounts of energy to survive, and now they face a difficult [...]

| Scientists Discover Plants “Scream” – We Just Couldn’t Hear Them Until Now |
|
|
2026-04-26 19:22:58 +00:00
 Scientists have discovered that many plants emit faint ultrasonic clicks when distressed. It sounds like something out of a dark children’s story. Hurt a plant, and it “screams.” Not in a way humans can hear, but in a newly documented study, stressed plants were found to release bursts of ultrasonic sound that resemble faint pops [...]

| 25-Year Study Uncovers Hidden Paths and Early Warning Signs of Blood Cancer |
|
|
2026-04-26 16:05:10 +00:00
 Long-term genetic tracking of patients with chronic blood cancers is revealing hidden patterns in how these diseases develop and progress. Following patients over time has revealed key genetic differences between blood cancers that remain stable and those that become more aggressive. The findings also show how DNA data could sharpen diagnoses, improve how patients are [...]

| Scientists Discover a Surprising Reason Intermittent Fasting Extends Life |
|
|
2026-04-26 14:55:08 +00:00
 How the body efficiently shifts metabolism after fasting may be key to improving health, UTSW-led research suggests. Cutting calorie intake has long been linked to longer life, and intermittent fasting often appears to work better than maintaining a constant diet. Even so, scientists have struggled to explain exactly why this happens. New research from UT [...]
