A study of 440 participants from the Women’s Interagency HIV Study found that accelerated epigenetic aging in monocytes—an immune cell type—tracked more closely with emotional and cognitive depression symptoms such as hopelessness and loss of pleasure than with physical symptoms like fatigue. The work, published in The Journals of Gerontology: Series A, adds evidence that cell-type-specific aging measures could contribute to future biological tools to complement symptom-based depression screening, though researchers say more validation is needed before clinical use.
A study involving 73 people with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia found that tailored treatment plans targeting nutritional deficiencies, infections and other factors led to significant cognitive improvements after nine months. Participants in the intervention group saw their overall cognitive scores rise by 13.7 points, while the control group declined by 4.5 points. The approach combines medical interventions with lifestyle changes like diet, exercise and cognitive training.

New research from Turkey shows that men with obesity tend to develop more abdominal fat and liver stress, while women exhibit higher inflammation and cholesterol levels. These findings, presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Istanbul, highlight sex-based differences that could inform personalized treatments. The study analyzed patients treated between 2024 and 2025.
Researchers led by the University of Cambridge report that an uncultured group of gut bacteria known as CAG-170 appears more abundant in healthy people and is less common in several chronic diseases, based on analysis of more than 11,000 gut metagenomes from 39 countries.

Researchers at Texas A&M University say they have developed a customizable “vessel-chip” that recreates the complex shapes of human blood vessels—including branches, aneurysm-like bulges and stenosis-like narrowings—so scientists can study how altered blood flow affects endothelial cells and evaluate potential treatments without relying on animal models.
Researchers in Dresden have discovered that the protein MCL1, known for helping cancer cells evade death, also regulates their energy production through the mTOR pathway. This dual role explains why drugs targeting MCL1 can fight tumors but sometimes harm the heart. The team has developed a dietary approach to mitigate this cardiotoxicity, paving the way for safer therapies.

A small randomized, double-blind trial suggests that MRI-based measures of brain structure may help predict which patients with major depressive disorder will show early symptom improvement after treatment with the traditional Chinese medicine Yueju Pill. In the four-day study, Yueju Pill and escitalopram were both associated with lower depression rating scores, but only Yueju Pill was linked to a rise in blood levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).
