Once a playground of Silicon Valley visionaries and male-driven biohackers, the longevity space is being fundamentally reimagined, and this time, it’s women who are leading the charge. They’re reframing aging not as a race against time but as a vibrant, dynamic and data-driven practice grounded in hormonal intelligence, precision health and embodied self-leadership.
In contrast to the male-coded archetype of lifespan…

Trees vs. disease: Tree cover reduces mosquito-borne health risk
Protecting trees might not seem like a public health strategy, but new research suggests it could be — especially in the tropics. A Stanford University-led study published May 28 in Landscape Ecology, shows that in Costa Rica, even modest patches of tree cover can reduce the presence of invasive mosquito species known to transmit diseases like dengue fever. The illness often brings flu-like symptoms and can escalate to severe bleeding, organ failure, and even death without proper medical…

Diagnosing Parkinson’s using a blood-based genetic signature
Parkinson’s disease is best known for its effects on the central nervous system. In addition, recent scientific advances generally emphasize the role of the immune system in the presence and development of the disease.
In a study published today in Brain, researchers led by Université de Montréal associate professor of neuroscience Martine Tétreault show that some cell types in the immune system are activated more in patients who have Parkinson’s.
“Thanks to a new technology called…

IBD on the rise: International research highlights spread in Africa, Asia, and Latin America
Inflammatory bowel disease, which includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, has long been considered a modern condition of the industrialized West, with cases steadily increasing in North America and Europe throughout the 20th century. New research conducted by an international consortium shows that IBD and related conditions are now spreading through developing regions in Africa, Asia, and Latin America as well.
The study, published in Nature, used data from more than 500…

Sharing of lifespan brain study data expected to light new paths
Researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas’ Center for Vital Longevity (CVL) have released the full dataset from a decade-long project designed to track brain and cognitive health as people age and distinguish neurologically healthy paths from those indicating a likelihood of decline.
The Dallas Lifespan Brain Study (DLBS) combined brain and cognition measures across the adult lifetime, including an expansive range of imaging and tests at three points across 10 years in nearly 500…

Can Algorithms Revamp Love? The Neurobiology Behind AI-Driven Bonding
FRANKFURT AM MAIN, GERMANY – MARCH 18. Photo by Thomas Lohnes/Getty Images.
Love may be timeless, but the ways we fall into it (or swipe right for it) are anything but. As artificial intelligence redefines human interactions, one question persists with scientific urgency and cultural weight: What happens to the brain’s romantic blueprint when intimacy is filtered through screens, swipes and simulations?
Enter: Algorithmic romance or the experience of not only choosing our…
