New antibodies offer hope for preventing Epstein-Barr virus infection

Scientists in the United States have developed a new group of antibodies that could eventually help prevent infection by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), one of the most widespread viruses affecting humans. EBV is estimated to have infected the vast majority of adults worldwide. In many cases, the initial......

AI-developed drug shows potential to slow biological aging

New clinical data from Insilico Medicine suggest that a drug initially developed to treat a serious lung disease could also influence biological markers associated with aging, opening a new avenue for research into healthy longevity. The experimental drug, rentosertib, was developed with the help of......

Statins may reduce heart attack and stroke risk by 30% after age 70

Statin therapy may offer significant cardiovascular benefits to people over the age of 70, according to new research from Australia's Monash University. The study found that older adults taking statins had a 30% lower risk of experiencing their first major cardiovascular event compared with those......
