The growing longevity industry — from anti-ageing clinics to supplements promising longer life — is expanding faster than the scientific evidence supporting many of its claims, according to Al Jazeera. The report raises concerns that consumers are being sold unproven treatments while research on ageing is still in its early stages.
- 2Scientists Identify New Potential Target for Hypertension Treatment▼Scientists Discover a New Potential Treatment Target for High Blood Pressure
Researchers have identified a new potential treatment target for high blood pressure, a condition affecting over a billion people worldwide and a leading risk factor for heart disease and stroke. The discovery could open the door to new drug development beyond existing blood pressure medications. Details of the findings and their clinical significance remain limited.
- 3Clinical trial data exposed in academic database breaches●Clinical trial data including genetic and medical history information has been exposed in academic research database bre
Breaches of academic research databases have exposed clinical trial data, including genetic and medical history information, affecting thousands of trial participants. Privacy advocates are urging people to exercise their HIPAA rights by requesting their medical records and an accounting of disclosures, and correcting any errors. The incident has renewed concerns about how universities and research institutions safeguard sensitive participant data.
- 4Blood test distinguishes bacterial from viral infections in newborns▼Blood test shows whether newborns with fever have bacterial or viral infection
Researchers have developed a blood test that can show whether a newborn with a fever has a bacterial or a viral infection. The advance could help doctors decide quickly whether infants need antibiotics, reducing unnecessary treatment and speeding up care for babies with serious bacterial illness. Medical outlets are reporting on the test's potential to improve diagnosis in newborns, a group in whom infections are hard to distinguish and can become dangerous fast.

A new market forecast projects the psychedelic drugs market to expand through 2035, driven by rising demand for mental health treatments and regulatory breakthroughs in approving psychedelic-based therapies. Industry analysts say growing acceptance of substances like psilocybin and MDMA for conditions such as depression and PTSD is attracting investment, though clinical and legal hurdles remain ahead of widespread adoption.
- 6Scientists explore growing replacement teeth to regrow lost ones▼Lost a tooth? Science may one day grow it back
Research into tooth regeneration is drawing attention, with reports suggesting science may one day allow people to regrow lost teeth instead of relying on implants or dentures. The work builds on studies of stem cells and the biological mechanisms that form teeth during development, raising hopes for future clinical treatments.
