New York Genome Center researchers find a major brain shift between ages 50 and 75

A single-cell study in Science reveals major shifts in immune cells, genome organization and gene regulation in the aging human hippocampus.  These findings offer critical insights into brain aging with major implications for age-related dementias. Researchers have discovered that the human brain undergoes widespread age-related changes in genome regulation beginning in midlife that may help explain why

New Study: Blood Test Shows Promise for Detecting Pancreatic Cancer at Its Earliest Stages

PANXEON, which combines multiple biomarkers, also identified a precancerous condition of the pancreas, potentially opening a path to intervention before invasive cancer develops One reason pancreatic cancer remains so deadly is because it’s usually discovered late, after it has spread. Now, a major new study shows that a blood test developed by researchers led by
