Multivitamins May Slow Cognitive Aging for the Elderly

A study by the Alzheimer’s Association has revealed that a daily intake of multivitamins may slow cognitive aging for older adults. Although the results are encouraging, the Association is still not recommending the idea as studies are independent studies are yet to be conducted on larger and more diverse populations.

Plastic Additives Contaminate the Sea and Harm Corals

Plastic additives are chemicals that are added to plastic products during manufacturing, and many of them are known to be endocrine disrupting compounds. A current study shows that these chemicals can have species-specific effects that may damage the population structure and biodiversity of coral reefs.

Will Rapid Antigen Tests Detect Future Sars-Cov-2 Variants?

Researchers at the Emory University wanted to find out if rapid antigen tests will be able to detect future Sars-Cov-2 variants. For this, a study was conducted and it was found that it’s relatively rare for variants to have mutations to the N protein that allow them to evade diagnostic tests, but there are a small proportion of sequences that could impact detection.

Unbalanced Genes Leads to Aging

Researchers at the Northwestern University have revealed in a new study that the length of genes leads to most of the molecular-level changes that occur during aging. With the help of this study, it could become possible to slow or even reverse aging.
