The Mediterranean diet has long been recognized for its potential to reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cognitive decline. However, the underlying biological mechanisms by which this diet exerts its effects have not been fully understood. Researchers from the USC Leonard Davis Gerontology School have identified a potential biological mechanism that…

Artificial sweeteners, which have been widely used as a substitute for sugar, have been found to have a potential impact on brain health. A study that followed 12,772 people for approximately 8 years found a connection between high consumption of artificial sweeteners and faster decline in memory and thinking skills. The research, led by Prof.…

A shocking medical mistake occurred in a town in northern France where a 17-year-old girl went to the hospital for ankle surgery but ended up having her wisdom teeth extracted instead. The incident took place on July 10th at a clinic in Saint-Martin-Boulogne, in the Pas-de-Calais region. The girl's family expressed their shock and distress…

In the US, lettuce products have been recalled in 27 states due to the Cyclospora parasite. Authorities stated that the investigation is ongoing and other products may be deemed risky in the coming days. Taylor Farms has begun withdrawing potentially contaminated shredded lettuce from the market. The company announced that the recalled lettuce originated from…

Scientists have analyzed 124 studies on people over 100 years old, spanning 55 years, to reveal the secrets of long life. Long life is shaped by the combination of genetic structure, cellular repair mechanisms, dietary habits, physical activity, social support, and environmental factors. The research emphasized that long life is not linked to a single…

The 'e-Report' system introduced by the Ministry of Health has enabled citizens to obtain their sick leave reports in electronic format from healthcare institutions. The new system allows for the preparation of all sick leave reports, with some exceptions, in digital format. According to the statement from the Ministry, this application will enable the electronic…

Scientists from Sweden and the UK have shown that transplanting dopamine cells derived from stem cells into the brain may be both feasible and safe for treating Parkinson's disease. In this study, researchers from Lund University in Sweden and Cambridge University in the UK conducted a clinical trial called STEM-PD, where 8 Parkinson's patients received…

Scientists argue that research on healthy and long life, focusing only on adulthood, is insufficient. Many biological processes begin to take shape before birth. Scientists state that the biological processes causing aging start shaping up much earlier. The biological development in childhood and before birth can affect health in later years. The proposed PROSPER initiative…

Over the past decade, cyclospora outbreaks have increased significantly in the US. Experts attribute this rise to improved testing methods and the more favorable conditions brought about by climate change (warmer weather). Since May 2026, there has been a notable surge in case numbers. Cyclospora is a small parasite visible under a microscope. This parasite…

Scientists have discovered how a common gut bacteria's toxin triggers colon cancer. This research may lead to new treatment methods in the future. The mechanism by which the toxin produced by 'Bacteroides fragilis' bacteria in the gut reaches colon cells has been identified. The study also revealed new findings that the toxin's effect can be…
