**Just 3,000 Steps a Day May Help Protect the Brain From Alzheimer’s**

By Eef Hogervorst, Loughborough University - Published on 18 July 2026

Even moderate amounts of walking may help protect brain function and slow changes linked to Alzheimer’s disease. New research reveals a modest amount of daily movement may help protect the brain from Alzheimer’s disease, but the apparent benefit does not involve the biological target researchers expected. Using pedometers, researchers followed nearly 300 older adults with [...]

**Why Ancient Mesopotamians Took Their Signatures So Seriously**

By Serdar Yalçin, Macalester College - Published on 18 July 2026

Cylinder seals were far more than ancient signatures. They fused art, power, and belief into objects that revealed exactly who their owners were. The earliest form of the signature came from ancient Iraq in the form of cylinder seals. Mesopotamians, the ancient inhabitants of the land between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, are credited for [...]

**Beyond Pain Relief: Scientists Discover a Protein That Could Stop Osteoarthritis in Its Tracks**

By National Research Council of Science & Technology - Published on 16 May 2026

Researchers have identified the SHP protein as a key regulator that suppresses cartilage-degrading enzymes and slows osteoarthritis progression. For millions of people living with osteoarthritis, treatment options have long focused on one thing: managing pain. But while medications and injections may temporarily ease aching knees and stiff fingers, they do little to stop the slow [...]
