We are urgently working to find new treatments and cures for ALS and are currently funding over 168 research projects in 12 countries. We work with many pharmaceutical companies that have attempted to bring new treatments to market.

A new study shows that gold nanoparticles injected into the retina can restore vision in mice with retinal degeneration, offering a less invasive alternative to current retinal prostheses.

Scientists are studying why some species live so much longer than others

The U.S. government is preparing to make moves to get food dyes out of what we eat– a plan which may spark curiosity across the nation as to what the potential health risks of artificial food dyes are.

It’s well-known that a person’s immune system wears down over time, becoming less effective as folks progress through middle age and become seniors.

But that doesn’t appear to hinder the effectiveness of immunotherapy for cancer in seniors, a new study says.

Seniors with cancer respond just as well as younger patients to immune checkpoint inhibitors — drugs that take the brakes off the immune system so it can target and kill cancer cells more effectively, researchers reported Monday in the journal Nature Communications.

Living to 100 may sound like a dream, but thanks to advancements in anti-aging and longevity research, it’s becoming more of a realistic goal than ever before. While genetics play a role, experts say your daily habits have a major impact on how gracefully—and healthfully—you age. From diet and movement to mindset and skincare, there are key lifestyle shifts and science-backed secrets that can help slow the aging process, boost vitality, and support a longer, more vibrant life.

Robert Love, a neuroscientist, shared three anti-aging and longevity secrets you should know about if you want to “slow down aging” and “even help reverse aging.” According to him, prioritizing sleep, avoiding ultra-processed foods, and taking healthy supplements are some of the best options. Read on to learn more.

Prioritizing sleep is one of the most powerful (and underrated) anti-aging tools you have. During deep sleep, your body goes into repair mode—producing growth hormone, regenerating cells, and fixing damage caused by stress and environmental factors. This nightly “reset” helps keep your skin, organs, and even brain functioning optimally.

Scientists have discovered a new four-body quasi-particle, the quadruplon, in a 2D semiconductor. Using laser experiments and advanced theory, they identified unique spectral features unexplained by existing models, confirming the quadruplon’s existence. A central goal of physics is to understand

Determining the passage of time in our world of ticking clocks and oscillating pendulums is a simple case of counting the seconds between ‘then’ and ‘now’

Down at the quantum scale of buzzing electrons, however, ‘then’ can’t always be anticipated. Worse still, ‘now’ often blurs into a haze of vagueness. A stopwatch simply isn’t going to work for some scenarios.

A potential solution could be found in the very shape of the quantum fog itself, according to a 2022 study by researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden.

After centuries, perhaps artificial photosynthesis can be pave the way forward for clean energy innovation and we have cyanobacteria to thank.

“Olo” is said to be a saturated blue-green — but some say the existence of a new colour is “open to argument”
