Getting young and old people to dance together boosts health and reduces age discrimination
As the global population ages, the number of people aged 65 and older is projected to rise significantly over the next 25 years. But while we're living longer, we're also becoming more socially divided by age. Age segregation is on the rise and fewer people are regularly interacting with those outside their own generation.

Forty-five percent of dementia cases are potentially preventable, and simple lifestyle choices including exercise, diet and social connection all contribute to your risk score. But what if these risk factors were leaving chemical warning signs of decline in your brain—long before any symptoms of dementia played out?

An interdisciplinary team of scientists has developed a technology to decode immune cell communication. By measuring interactions between cells, the method offers insights into how the human body fights viral infections, how malfunctions can lead to autoimmune diseases and why immunotherapies work for some people but not others.

498. Minimally invasive options lead to shorter recovery times in pancreatic cancer surgery

Pancreatic cancer begins in the pancreas, which is located behind the stomach. It is often difficult to detect early because symptoms typically appear only after the cancer has spread. As a result, it is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage, which complicates treatment. Michael Kendrick, M.D., a hepatobiliary and pancreas surgeon at Mayo Clinic, explains how minimally invasive surgery is speeding recovery.

Ten years ago, researchers discovered a small group of people who derive no pleasure from music, despite having normal hearing and the ability to enjoy other experiences or stimuli. The condition, "specific musical anhedonia," is caused by a disconnect between the brain's auditory and reward networks.
