Cancer researcher Professor Luke Selth of Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute / Flinders University – SWNS Prostate cancer treatment could be “supercharged” by a new way of weakening malignant cells, say scientists. A new “vulnerability” in prostate cancer cells that could improve treatment for the second most common cancer in men worldwide (second only to skin cancer) was discovered …

Scientists continue to explore ways we can live longer and ensure those lives are healthier. A new discovery of note in this field comes from experiments in fission yeast (an organism often used for studies of aging). Researchers from Queen Mary University of London have been testing a new drug called Rapalink-1, building on an existing immunosuppressant called rapamycin that …

Summary: Living longer doesn’t always mean living healthier, and researchers are exploring how diet can extend healthspan. A study in worms shows that specific dietary RNA molecules protect cells from harmful protein build-up, a major driver of aging and age-related disease. These RNAs activate stress responses and autophagy, enhancing resilience and slowing cellular aging across the body. While still early-stage …

Apple today released iOS 26.0.1 and iPadOS 26.0.1, the first updates to the iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 operating systems that came out earlier this week. The new software can be downloaded on eligible iPhones and iPads over-the-air by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

A lifetime of social support, from nurturing parents to strong friendships, community ties, and faith-based connections, may help slow the body’s biological aging.Credit: Stock Strong, sustained social connections across life may slow biological aging, lowering inflammation and keeping the body’s “epigenetic clock” younger. A lifetime of supportive relationships and community ties may help slow the body’s aging process. From the …

Summary: A new study shows that lifelong social advantages—from early parental warmth to adult friendships and community support—can slow biological aging. Researchers analyzed over 2,100 participants and found that those with stronger, more consistent social connections had younger biological ages according to epigenetic clocks GrimAge and DunedinPACE. They also had lower inflammation, with reduced levels of interleukin-6, a molecule linked …

The iPhone 17 is making its way to excited customers’ hands, and is bringing some problems too, apparently. According to multiple reports emerging online, iPhone 17 models are having cellular issues across multiple regions, regardless of whether it’s T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, or an MVNO’s services that the phones are using.Initial reports were being met with slight skepticism, and the belief …
