Scientists say aging may expose decades of hidden damage, helping trigger diseases that seem to appear out of nowhere in later life. A recent review published in Aging-US explores a fresh way of understanding why aging is so closely linked to chronic disease. In the paper, “Aging as a multifactorial disorder with two stages,” researchers [...]

Many of today’s most serious health problems share one thing in common: chronic inflammation. Unlike the short-term inflammation that helps the body recover from injury or infection, chronic inflammation remains active for long periods and may slowly damage tissues and organs. Scientists believe chronic inflammation contributes to conditions such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, […] T…

Chronic pancreatitis (CP) diminishes quality-of-life (QoL) across mobility, self-care, daily activities, mental health, and pain-not just abdominal discomfort-according to a new Mayo Clinic study available online on August 27, 2025, and published in Volume 9, Issue 1 of the Journal of Pancreatology on March 30, 2026.

Tiny particles from the gut may be carrying aging signals throughout the body, offering a surprising new clue to chronic disease. Researchers at the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine have uncovered new evidence that microscopic particles produced in the gut may contribute to the inflammation and chronic diseases often associated with aging. [...]

Scientists found that aging may begin with a hidden cellular remodel that could help drive disease later in life. Thanks to advances in public health, people are living longer than ever before. However, many of those extra years are accompanied by chronic illnesses rather than good health. Aging is a normal part of life, but [...]

In a small clinical trial, researchers at the Ohio State University found that a tomato juice rich in lycopene and soy isoflavones lowered several proteins linked to chronic inflammation, raising hopes for food-based therapies.

A new pilot project funded by the Texas Medical Center Digestive Diseases Center Pilot Feasibility Award explores how lifestyle habits tied to the body's internal clock may shape gut health and influence the development of age-related disease.

A new study suggests microscopic particles from the gut may actively drive inflammation and chronic diseases associated with aging. Remarkably, gut particles from young animals appeared to counter some aging-related damage in older animals, hinting at new possibilities for future treatments.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D), a chronic, autoimmune disease, challenges individuals and families to maintain constant blood glucose regulation. South Carolina, primarily a rural state, faces disproportionate challenges in managing T1D. Despite extensive research on T1D and rural healthcare challenges, a knowledge gap remains regarding how these challenges affect South Carolina families and the resources…

Globally, the increasing prevalence of diabetes and mental disorders coexisting as comorbid conditions poses significant challenges for chronic disease management. The interaction mechanisms between these two conditions involve multiple pathways, including neuroendocrine dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and neurotransmitter abnormalities. This comorbidity severely impacts patients’ health out…

Chronic kidney disease is a serious and growing health problem around the world. It happens when the kidneys slowly lose their ability to filter waste from the blood. Over time, harmful substances build up in the body, which can lead to many complications, including heart problems and even death. Today, millions of people are living […] The post Your gut may be quietly worsening chronic kidney di…

With support from The Pittsburgh Foundation, Dr. Sarah Gaffen research on Il-17 could led to new treatments for autoimmune disease.

Northwestern University scientists have developed a novel antioxidant biomaterial that someday could provide much-needed relief to people living with chronic pancreatitis, according to a new study published in Science Advances.

Over half of Americans battle chronic diseases. One in four suffer from multiple chronic conditions that last a year or longer and disrupt daily life. These chronic conditions are driving up health care costs and increasing demand on our health care system; they account for over 80% of hospital admissions, 90% of filled prescriptions, and […] The post The Benefits of Working With A Holistic Healt…

Emphysema is a long-term and devastating lung disease. As it progresses, the body’s own inflammatory enzymes slowly digest and destroy alveoli, the delicate sacs where oxygen from air is transferred to the bloodstream. The damaged alveoli form large holes in lung tissue that impair gas exchange in the rest of the organ, leading to shortness of breath, wheezing, chronic cough, and, eventually, dea…
