A marketing professor articulates the appeal of inflicting mild misfortune on others, such as tossing pies into faces, for the purpose of charitable fundraising. The paper provides insights on how to best use this strategy to maximize charitable donations. Oh, the joy of inflicting pain upon others. The Germans have a word for it: schadenfreude

Research scientists found that a 'one-two punch' of combining the immunosuppressive drug ruxolitinib with existing checkpoint inhibitor therapies may be a more effective way to fight some cancers, including Hodgkin lymphoma. Checkpoint inhibitor therapies can be thought of as the molecular 'brake release' for the immune system. These drugs eliminate the protein barriers that impede

An orange teeming with antioxidants and other health benefits may be a shot in the arm for consumers and citrus growers, if the fruit is stored at cool temperatures, a new study shows. An orange teeming with antioxidants and other health benefits may be a shot in the arm for consumers and citrus growers, if

Researchers have demonstrated that therapeutically restoring 'youthful' levels of a specific subunit of the telomerase enzyme can significantly reduce the signs and symptoms of aging in preclinical models. If these findings are confirmed in clinical studies, there may be therapeutic implications for age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, heart disease and cancer. Researchers at The

Researchers have discovered a new fundamental mechanism governing the rules of ageing in worms. The researchers were able to manipulate the mechanism through genetic interventions which dramatically extend not just the lifespan of the worms, but also their health-span. In other words, trading weak, frail old age with vigorous golden years -- all without altering

Participants. The study found that changes in sleep patterns, such as increased nighttime wakefulness, could be indicative of these health issues. This can be a game-changer in early detection and prevention of these conditions. With the help of a sleep tracker, individuals can potentially identify and address health concerns before they become serious problems. This research highlights the potential of sleep tracking technology to revolutionize healthcare and improve overall well-being

Of more targeted and effective treatments for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder. The study's focus on understanding the immune system's response to treatment sets it apart, offering valuable insights that could potentially revolutionize the way this condition is managed. This research has the potential to lead to groundbreaking advancements in the field of autoimmune disease treatment, offering hope to patients and healthcare professionals alike

California, San Diego School of Medicine. Researchers have found that genetics play a significant role in determining how much coffee a person drinks and how the body processes caffeine. This has important implications for understanding the effects of coffee on health and for personalized medicine. The study of the genetic factors influencing coffee consumption sheds light on the complex relationship between genetics, behavior, and health outcomes. Understanding these factors can help tailor interventions and recommendations for individuals based on their genetic predispositions. Additionally, this research may lead to a better understanding of the potential health benefits and risks associated with coffee consumption

Through a newly developed psychotherapy. This innovative approach confronts past trauma and stress-related emotions that can worsen pain symptoms. The study, led by UCLA Health and the U.S. Veterans Affairs Office, highlights the potential for this therapy to offer relief and improve quality of life for older adults dealing with chronic pain

Autonomic reflexes can become overactive or dysfunctional after a spinal cord injury, leading to a range of issues such as rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, and breathing difficulties. The new research pinpointed a specific cellular target that could be manipulated to regulate these autonomic reflexes, offering hope for improved treatment and management of spinal cord injury-related complications. This breakthrough has the potential to significantly enhance the lives of individuals living with spinal cord injuries by addressing the underlying causes of autonomic dysfunction

Females, offering potential for interventions to promote healthy aging in vertebrates. This groundbreaking research sheds new light on the role of germ cells in lifespan and offers promising avenues for future medical interventions

Two years of aging. This groundbreaking research highlights the long-term impact of low birth weight on cognitive function and underscores the need for targeted interventions to support the cognitive health of individuals born with low birth weight. Understanding and addressing this correlation can lead to improved outcomes and quality of life for those affected
