“A new analysis of 205 published studies finds that air pollution is linked to adverse effects on childhood health including impairment of cognitive and behavioral development, respiratory illness, and increased risk of childhood cancer.”

“Researchers were able to grow human blood vessels as organoids in a petri dish and when transplanted into animals the blood vessel organoids developed into perfectly functional human blood vessels including arteries and capillaries.”

“Physical activity profoundly affects the human body and has emerged as a robust strategy for preserving cognitive function in aging. This review presents evidence that physical activity markedly reduces the risk of developing vascular dementia.”

“FTA: > Researchers in the US have developed a new Alzheimer’s blood test that could pick up on the very early stages of Alzheimer’s disease with 100 percent accuracy when tested on 174 individuals.”
