Weight-lifting mice lose liver fat, improve blood glucose
Short-term strength training shows health gains even without weight loss.
Is there a link between stroke and changes in gut bacteria?
New research investigates whether a stroke can affect the diversity of bacterial populations in the gut and whether these changes could influence the brain's recovery process.

Gene connection to age-related cognitive decline confirmed in mouse study
In an NIA-funded study that could help better understand how genetics influence our neurons’ ability to maintain healthy memory and learning as we grow older, researchers confirmed in mice the importance of the gene heterochromatin protein 1 binding protein 3 (Hp1bp3) in cognitive aging.
AIDS vaccine using engineered herpes virus works in monkeys
Rhesus macaques have long been considered the prime model for AIDS vaccine research – as well as for understanding a host of other global infectious viruses such as Ebola, Zika, Dengue and malaria – because these monkeys’ immune systems are analogous to humans.
Study: Sleep Deprivation Speeds Up Alzheimer’s Disease
The study, published Thursday in the journal Science, suggests that a lack of adequate sleep can advance Alzheimer's while good sleep could help maintain brain health.
