- Britain’s quarter century: Experts in sex, mental health, nutrition and addiction assess nation’s changing well-beingon August 15, 2026 at 9:00 pm
A good way to follow the health of a nation is to glance at what is known as period life expectancy. This calculates how long a person born today would live if the current death rates remained exactly the same for the rest of their life. This had two major turning points in the UK over the period: a marked slowdown in improvements from around 2011 and a sharp, historically unprecedented fall in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- New approach opens rare immune cells to genetic risk researchon August 15, 2026 at 6:50 pm
Much of how genetic risk leads to disease has remained hidden. In many cases, genetic variants linked to disease do not act on nearby genes along the chromosome. Instead, they influence genes located far away along the DNA sequence. This happens because DNA is folded inside the cell, bringing distant regions into physical contact.
- New obesity definitions reveal ill health more accurately than body mass indexon August 15, 2026 at 5:20 pm

BMI levels have historically played a central role in determining eligibility and priority for metabolic bariatric surgery—operations on the stomach that help people lose weight and treat health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes.
- High-speed microscopy reveals electrical activity across the brainon August 15, 2026 at 3:00 pm
Within the brain, neurons compute by generating electrical impulses. These signals travel throughout neurons, which are in turn connected in vast networks that control brain functions such as sensory perception, memory formation and movement.
