Scientists uncover why psoriasis can turn into joint disease
Scientists uncover why psoriasis can turn into joint disease
Researchers have figured out how psoriasis can quietly turn into joint disease for some patients. Immune cells formed in inflamed skin can travel through the blood and reach the joints, where they sometimes trigger inflammation. The key difference lies in the joint’s ability to keep those cells in check. This insight could help doctors identify warning signs early and prevent lasting joint damage.

The overlooked nutrition risk of Ozempic and Wegovy

Dermatologists say collagen supplements aren’t the skin fix people expect
Dermatologists say collagen supplements aren’t the skin fix people expect
Collagen pills sound like a shortcut to younger skin, but solid evidence doesn’t back them up. Higher-quality studies show little benefit, and your body doesn’t absorb collagen in the way ads suggest. Some supplements may even pose safety concerns and lack proper testing. Experts recommend focusing on proven habits like sunscreen, retinoids, and a nutrient-rich diet instead.

The fat you can’t see could be shrinking your brain
The fat you can’t see could be shrinking your brain
Where your body stores fat may matter just as much as how much you carry—especially for your brain. Using advanced MRI scans and data from nearly 26,000 people, researchers identified two surprising fat patterns tied to faster brain aging, cognitive decline, and higher neurological disease risk. One involves unusually high fat buildup in the pancreas, even without much liver fat, while the other—often called “skinny fat”—affects people who don’t appear severely obese but carry excess fat relative to muscle.

Study raises red flags over long-term effectiveness of popular weight loss drugs like Ozempic
Study raises red flags over long-term effectiveness of popular weight loss drugs like Ozempic
Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Zepbound can drive impressive weight loss, but stopping them is often followed by rapid weight regain. Researchers found that people regain weight faster after quitting these drugs than after diet and exercise alone. Improvements in heart health and diabetes risk also tend to reverse within a few years. The results suggest long-term success may require more than medication alone.
