Interacting and joint effects of frailty and depressive symptoms in relation to risk of cardio-oncology comorbidity in older adults from three prospective cohorts

2 weeks 2 days ago
CONCLUSIONS: Concurrent frailty and depressive symptoms constitute the highest-risk phenotype for cardio-oncology comorbidity in community-dwelling older adults. These findings suggest that combined assessment of frailty and depressive symptoms may improve baseline risk stratification of cardio-oncology comorbidity.

Fucoxanthin Promotes Longevity and Neuroprotection in Caenorhabditis elegans via DAF-16 and Autophagy Pathways

2 weeks 2 days ago
Identification of natural compounds that delay aging and prevent age-related neurodegeneration is a key goal in gerontology. Fucoxanthin, a marine-derived xanthophyll, exhibits potent antioxidant properties, yet its effects on organismal aging and specific molecular mechanisms remain underexplored. Here, we investigated the pro-longevity and neuroprotective effects of fucoxanthin using Caenorhabditis elegans. Fucoxanthin supplementation significantly extended the mean lifespan of wild-type...

A surprising discovery reveals the kidney has a secret backup system

The discovery emerged when researchers testing an old drug called probenecid expected it to worsen polycystic kidney disease (PKD) but found it actually slowed cyst growth instead.
