The National Institutes of Health (NIH) reports new discoveries on brain aging, food intolerance, and heart attack recovery. Scientists have linked the creation of new neurons to remarkable memory abilities in some older adults, known as SuperAgers, revealing unique brain cell signatures.
Additionally, new proteins associated with food tolerance have been identified, improving understanding of food allergies and opening paths for new treatments. An NIH-supported team has also developed a minimally invasive RNA therapy aimed at enhancing heart repair after a heart attack.
NIH offers wellness resources focused on emotional health, relationships, and environmental factors through its wellness toolkits. The agency also stresses the critical role of clinical research trials in advancing disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
