NEWS: An NIH-supported clinical trial found that adults with prediabetes assigned to a lifestyle intervention had a significantly lower risk of developing multiple chronic health conditions (known as multimorbidity) over time than those assigned to a placebo.
This study, which followed participants for over two decades, also found that participants assigned to receive metformin did not experience a statistically significant reduction in multimorbidity risk.
The findings highlight the lasting benefits of lifestyle programs that may lower a person’s risk for developing chronic conditions.

What shapes the unique composition of breast milk?
This research study, led by Dr. Hourigan and her team at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), seeks to understand how maternal and infant factors impact breast milk microbiome, immunity, and nutrients. By participating, you can help us uncover key insights into the best source of infant nutrition.

Understanding what influences people’s decisions to join clinical trials is essential to supporting fair and effective research. A new NIH CARE for Health™–supported study offers practical, community-driven ways to build trust, improve communication, and reduce barriers that keep rural residents from participating in clinical trials. These insights can help make research more inclusive and ensure that breakthroughs benefit everyone — not just those closest to academic medical centers.

NEWS: A team of NIH-supported researchers has established a new framework to identify and catalog senescent cells—cells that stop dividing but remain active in the body.

Because senescent cells accumulate with age and contribute to many age-related conditions, scientists seek to better understand their roles in health and disease.

This new research presents the first comprehensive atlas of senescent cells across the human body, a foundational step toward developing new therapies for age-related diseases.
