Scientists say NAD+ could slow aging and fight Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
A molecule naturally produced in the body may hold the key to slowing aging and combating neurodegenerative diseases. NAD+ is critical to cellular energy, DNA repair, and metabolic function, but its levels decline with age — a drop researchers increasingly link to the onset of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Scientists are now investigating supplements like NR and NMN to restore those levels, with early results suggesting potential gains in memory, metabolism, and physical performance.

Insulin pills may soon replace daily injections
Researchers at Kumamoto University have engineered a peptide that escorts insulin through the intestinal lining, bypassing the digestive breakdown that has foiled oral insulin development for over 100 years. If the approach proves effective in clinical trials, it could eliminate the need for daily injections for the millions of people living with diabetes. The advance marks one of the most promising steps yet toward a long-sought goal in medicine.

Scientists found a rhino in the Arctic and it changes everything
Paleontologists have discovered a 23-million-year-old rhino fossil in the Canadian High Arctic — the northernmost evidence of the species ever found. The remarkably complete specimen is forcing scientists to rethink the geographic range of ancient rhinos and their migration patterns across continents. The find suggests rhinos made the crossing from Europe to North America far more recently than previously believed.
