- Cancer-related brain fog may improve with 2 simple treatments, scientists say
A study by the University of Rochester found that a combination of low-dose ibuprofen and a home exercise program can help ease cognitive issues in cancer patients. The study involved 86 adult cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, who were randomly assigned to one of four groups. The results showed that exercise was linked to improvements in attention and cognitive function.
- Scientists successfully transfer longevity gene and extend lifespan
Scientists at the University of Rochester transferred a longevity-related gene from naked mole rats to mice, resulting in healthier and longer-lived mice. The modified mice showed stronger resistance to tumors and lower levels of age-related inflammation. This experiment boosts production of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which protects against cancer and supports healthier aging.
