A new study from Wake Forest University School of Medicine reveals that use of a brief, noninvasive intervention offers meaningful relief for health care workers in the reduction of stress-related symptoms. This approach uses acoustic neuromodulation guided by each participant’s unique brainwave activity, creating tailored sound sequences that help restore balance and reduce stress-related symptoms. 

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have discovered that childhood cognitive function shares significant genetic overlap with longevity, showing a genetic correlation of 0.35. Using genome-wide association data from over 400,000 participants, the study provides the first evidence linking childhood intelligence genes with lifespan. The findings, published in Genomic Psychiatry, suggest that genetic variants associated with higher childhood cognitive abilities are also linked to longer parental lifespans.

A novel combination therapy pairing a DNA-synthesis inhibitor with a targeted radiopharmaceutical may improve outcomes for patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors, according to new clinical trial data presented this week at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2025.
