A ratio of two blood markers could be a useful early warning sign for age-related muscle loss. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Menstrual cycle hormone levels influence women’s attention to female faces, brain imaging study finds

Hormonal shifts during the menstrual cycle appear to influence how women process social information. A new fMRI study shows that progesterone enhances attentional control toward female faces by modulating brain activity in key cognitive regions.

We Need Non-Bleeding Cycle Tracking, but Clue Misses the Mark

One of the best period-tracking apps out there, Clue, recently announced a feature that should be groundbreaking for people who don't menstruate but still experience cyclical health changes.

Artificial intelligence-derived retinal age gap as a marker for reproductive aging in women

Reproductive aging impacts women’s health through fertility decline, disease susceptibility, and systemic aging. This study explores the retinal age gap—the difference between predicted retinal age and chronological age—as a novel biomarker for reproductive aging. By developing a Swin-Transformer-based dual-channel transfer learning model with data from 1294 healthy women, we examined associations between the retinal age gap and Anti-Müllerian H…
