Unique Genes and Healthy Lifestyle Contributed to 117-Year Lifespan
Maria Branyas Morera, the world's oldest person until her death at 117 in August 2023, possessed unique genes that made her cells function as if 17 years younger, alongside a healthy lifestyle including a Mediterranean diet and strong family ties.

Celtic Languages in Britain and Ireland: New Insights from Archaeology and Genetics
New archaeological and genetic research suggests that Celtic languages arrived in Britain around 1200 BC, possibly due to migration, while the arrival in Ireland is less clear, potentially linked to an Irish population decline around 800 BC followed by the return of migrants who had adopted Celtic.

From Gene-Centric to Cell-Centric: A Biological Analogy for Social Cooperation
This article contrasts the gene-centric view of life, emphasizing competition, with the cell-centric view, highlighting cooperation, using the analogy of society as an organism to critique the use of genetic determinism to justify social inequalities.

Environmental Factors Overwhelm Genetics in Determining Healthy Aging and Mortality
A Nature Medicine study of nearly half a million UK residents reveals environmental factors are about ten times more important than genetics in healthy aging and mortality, with age, sex, and environmental factors explaining 66 percent of mortality risk.

Lung Cancer Rise in Non-Smoking Women Linked to Air Pollution and Genetic Factors
A new study shows a sharp rise in lung cancer among non-smoking women globally, with adenocarcinoma accounting for almost 60% of cases, linked to air pollution, genetic mutations (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, TP53, KRAS), and immune system factors; approximately 2.5 million new cases were reported in 2022.

Global Genetic Study Uncovers Hundreds of New Depression Risk Factors
An international team identified almost 300 new genetic links to depression in a study of over 5 million people from 29 countries, revealing 100 variations discovered only through the inclusion of non-European participants and suggesting potential drug repurposing for pregabalin and modafinil.

Maternal Smoking: Sons Face Higher Long-Term Health Risks
A study of 500,000 individuals found that sons of women who smoked during pregnancy face increased health risks, particularly shortened lifespans if they also smoke, compared to daughters; researchers call for improved smoking cessation counseling.

Lifestyle Factors and Genetics Determine Lifespan: A 2024 Study
A 2024 US study reveals eight lifestyle factors—including diet, exercise, sleep, and social connections—that may increase lifespan by up to 20 years, while genetics account for 10-30% of longevity; however, experts emphasize the importance of healthy aging over simply extending lifespan.

Environment, Not Genes, Primarily Drives Aging and Mortality: Large-Scale Study
A Nature Medicine study of nearly 500,000 UK participants found environmental factors account for 17% of death risk variation, compared to less than 2% from genetics; modifiable factors like smoking and socioeconomic status had the largest impact.

Human Gene Variant Linked to Development of Spoken Language
A new study links a human-specific protein variant of the NOVA1 gene to the development of spoken language, demonstrated by altered vocalizations in mice after CRISPR gene editing; this discovery may lead to new treatments for speech disorders.

Sisters of Women with Complicated Pregnancies Face Higher Cardiovascular Risk
A Swedish study found that sisters of women with complicated pregnancies, such as pre-eclampsia or delivering a small baby, have a 40% increased risk of cardiovascular disease post-partum, even if they had no complications themselves, suggesting a shared genetic predisposition.
