Tiny RNA fragments can predict two-year survival better than traditional health metrics. Researchers from Duke Health and the ...

People who lived longer had lower piRNA levels, suggesting these molecules may play a direct role in how long we live.

A new test may get to the heart of your dementia risk several years before any symptoms emerge. Dementia, which affects over 6 million Americans, impacts memory, language and problem-solving skills.

Duke Health researchers found small RNA molecules known as piRNAs can accurately predict whether older adults are likely to ...

As scientists race to develop simple blood tests that could one day act as an early warning system for Alzheimer’s disease by sounding the alarm before memory problems appear, new research shows ...

For decades, an Alzheimer’s diagnosis was a process of elimination — and often a late one, a Nature Medicine’s 2026 “Finger-Prick” study says. It wasn’t until memory faded and cognitive functions ...
