In Search of Youthfulness: An Unhelpful Guide to Longevity from a Skeptic
There’s a lot of discussion nowadays about longevity since we hear of famous people trying bizarre lifestyle regimes (cryotherapy, intermittent fasting, electric muscle stimulation, to name a few) in an effort to stay young. Do any of those techniques have a scientific basis and what do the latest ageing research actually say about longevity?
Young Scientists at #LINO23: Ashwin Parchani – Connecting Clinical Medicine and Research
Ashwin Parchani from India will participate in the 72nd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. He is looking forward to the opportunity to connect with professionals from all over the world, including fellow Young Scientists and Nobel Laureates. Learn more about his way into research.
Young Scientists at #LINO23: Marianna Kapsetaki – Bridging Science and Art
Marianna Kapsetaki will attend the 72nd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. And hopefully collect valuable memories at Lake Constance, a place she has not visited, yet – though touring globally as a classic pianist and scientific speaker. In regard of her research, memorability is one of her main subjects.
How Decades of Research Are Finally Helping Us Understand (and Hopefully, Combat) Hepatitis
Trailblazing scientists have devoted decades to unraveling the origins, transmission methods, and potential means of halting Hepatitis. Their work laid the foundation for creating efficient diagnostic instruments, therapies, and preventative strategies to tackle hepatitis worldwide.
Inside the Brain’s Navigation System: How Nobel Laureates Revealed Its Mysteries
Believe it or not, humans are really good at navigation. That's what enabled us to navigate the world's oceans and landmasses; it allowed us to find our way in vast spaces and create compact, navigable areas such as modern cities. But what gives us this innate navigation ability has eluded scientists for the longest time, and was ultimately awarded a Nobel Prize in 2014.
Viruses Causing Neurodegenerative Diseases
Neurodegenerative diseases are set to become a major challenge in medicine in the near future, as most of these diseases are associated with older age. Recently, several new studies have found that viruses could also be the culprit behind neurodegenerative diseases.
Young Scientists at #LINO23 – Autoimmune Diseases and Cardiovascular Risk
Nathalie Conrad recently completed a research project, which shows that patients with autoimmune disorders live with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The scientist from KU Leuven will participate in #LINO23.
