Sequencing eight Myotis bat species uncovered genetic tricks linking their famous virus tolerance to cancer resistance and longevity — clues that could inform human aging research.
Using Britain’s postwar sugar rationing as a natural experiment, researchers found that lower early-life sugar exposure tracked with less cancer and slower biological aging decades on — though it can’t prove cause.
At very high intravenous doses, vitamin C flips from antioxidant to pro-oxidant, generating a compound that preferentially damages stressed cancer cells. It’s still experimental.
Yale researchers found that omega-3 and omega-6 fats can dampen natural killer cells’ tumor-fighting power in mice — via a receptor called LRP5. It’s early, and not a reason to change your diet.
