Scientists develop blood-based indicator to detect the age of a human organ

Researchers have developed a blood-based indicator of age of an organ that can be used to assess its current age and predict the risk of a disease that might affect it 10 years later. One's biological age measures how well the body functions, compared to the chronological age.  However, the organs inside the body are all said to be ageing at different speeds.  The researchers, including those from the US' Stanford University, looked at 11 separate organ systems -- brain, muscle, heart, lung, arteries, liver, kidneys, pancreas, immune system, intestine and fat.  "We've developed a blood-based indicator of the age of your organs. With this indicator, we can assess the age of an organ today and predict the odds of your getting a disease associated with that organ 10 years later," senior au...

Update Your iPhone Now to Patch These 29 Security Flaws

We may earn a commission from links on this page. While the tech world's collective attention is currently fixed on iOS 27, Apple is still churning out updates to iOS 26. While we're not likely to get another feature-filled release in the "26" era, there will always be bugs and security flaws to squash whenever Apple or third-party researchers discover them. Case in point: On Monday, Apple dropped iOS 26.5.2, which comes with fixes for 29 security vulnerabilities. First, the good news: None of these vulnerabilities appears to be a "zero-day." A zero-day is a security flaw that is publicly disclosed or actively exploited before the software developer has a chance to issue a patch. They're especially dangerous, since it gives hackers the advantage: They can attempt to f...

Reinforcing body clock rhythms may help brain recover from stroke: Study

Improving sleep by reinforcing the body's natural daily rhythms could help the brain recover after a stroke, potentially providing a new strategy to enhance the brain's waste clearance and outcomes, according to a new study.  The findings, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, show that interventions designed to reinforce the body's natural circadian rhythms, such as timed light exposure, melatonin or a body clock-targeting drug, improved recovery in mouse models of stroke.  Researchers from the University of Rochester Medical Center also found improvements in the glymphatic system -- the brain's waste-clearing network -- and reduced levels of inflammatory molecules that can linger in the brain after a stroke.  The system moves cerebrospinal fluid along blood vessels and t...

Prime Day is June 23 to 26, and Lifehacker is sharing the best sales based on product reviews, comparisons, and price-tracking tools before it's over. Whoop is offering Prime Day deals on two of its subscription tiers, and one of these in particular is an excellent deal: $189 for a band bundled with a Whoop Peak subscription.

Is listening to FM radio in the car endangered? It just might be – National

What’s the first thing you do when you get behind the wheel after buckling up and hitting the ignition? You probably dial up some audio entertainment — and more often than not, it’s the radio. We’ve been listening to the radio in the car since Paul and Joseph Galvin introduced their “travel radio” (brand name: Motorola) in 1930. According to a 2025 Radio Connects study, about 80 per cent of Canadian radio listeners tune into terrestrial broadcasts on AM or FM. And it’s not just older drivers. About 60 per cent of people 18-34 also go for AM/FM listening, putting it on par with that demographic’s love for streaming services.Not only is radio listening in the car a long-term habit, but it’s also cost-effective. AM and FM listening is free with the tuner in your dashboard, plucking electromag...

Diabetes emerging as key factor behind rising early cataract cases in India

Doctors across India are witnessing a growing number of patients developing cataracts in their 40s and 50s, with diabetes increasingly emerging as a major contributing factor. As the burden of diabetes rises in the country, ophthalmologists say persistently high blood sugar levels are accelerating changes in the eye’s natural lens, leading to earlier onset and faster progression of cataracts. India is currently home to over 101 million adults living with diabetes and 136 million with prediabetes, according to the International Diabetes Federation, and this number is expected to rise significantly in the coming years. While diabetic retinopathy is among the better-known eye complications associated with the condition, experts note that cataract is also becoming a significant concern, parti...

Garmin’s Most Basic Running Watch Is Now Cheaper Than Ever

Prime Day is June 23 to 26, and Lifehacker is sharing the best sales based on product reviews, comparisons, and price-tracking tools before it's over. Garmin's Forerunner 55 is not the fanciest of its watches. At its original price, I would have recommended passing it by. But for Prime day, you can get it brand-new for $129, or refurbished for $99.99. And that's a deal worth grabbing if you want a reliable, basic running watch. The Forerunner 55 is as basic as they come, with a MIP screen rather than a modern AMOLED, single-band GPS, and limited functionality compared to more expensive Garmins. It came out in 2021, and was the bottom...
