A large US study suggests that older age by itself may not be the main driver of cardiovascular complications in pregnancy. Instead, pregnancy seems to amplify a person’s existing cardiovascular risk, ...

A research team has shown that cutting the formation of hybrid insulin peptides delayed the onset of type 1 diabetes in a mouse model. These unusual peptides appear to trigger the autoimmune T cells ...

Researchers have developed an experimental hydrogel that helps transplanted insulin-producing cells survive and function better in diabetic mice. The gel supports blood vessel growth around the graft ...

A small trial found that some older adults showed improvements in biological ageing markers after just four weeks on certain diets. The clearest effect was seen in a lower-fat, higher-carbohydrate ...

A large clinical trial found that older adults taking a daily multivitamin showed slightly slower ageing on DNA-based markers over two years. The effect was small, roughly equivalent to about four ...
