Reducing overall calorie intake may rejuvenate your muscles and activate biological pathways important for good health, according to researchers at the National Institutes of Health and their colleagues. Decreasing calories without depriving the body of essential vitamins and minerals, known as calorie restriction, has long been known to delay the progression of age-related diseases in animal models. This new study, published in Aging Cell, suggests the same biological mechanisms may also apply to humans.
New 4D Brain Map Reveals Potential Early Warning Signs of Multiple Sclerosis

These findings, published in Science, provide a window into the early disease state and could help identify potential targets for MS treatments and brain tissue repair.
FDA Clears First Blood Test Used in Diagnosing Alzheimer’s Disease
