Digital care services are more likely to be accepted when perceived as a supportive extension of, rather than a replacement for, family care responsibilities. Addressing ethical lag through culturally resonant service design and trusted community mediation may help reduce inequalities in engagement and improve the effectiveness of ageing-related service...

After clearing a spring forecasting hurdle, scientists see growing odds of a powerful climate event that could disrupt weather worldwide

Researchers discovered that declining levels of phosphatidylcholine may be a major cause of age-related mitochondrial dysfunction and loss of cellular energy. Remarkably, boosting this nutrient restored more youthful mitochondrial performance in aging organisms, suggesting some aspects of aging can be slowed or reversed.

Cancer cells often survive treatment by fixing the DNA damage that therapy is meant to cause. Researchers found that UNI418 can disrupt this repair ability, leaving cancer cells more exposed. When combined with a PARP inhibitor, it helped resistant cancer cells respond to treatment again. The findings point to a new strategy for overcoming cancer drug resistance.
