Germans think their bread is the best in the world. Here’s why they might be right | CNN Germans have more bakeries and eat more varieties of bread than most other countries in the world β€” no wonder it’s so good.

Genome-wide analysis of brain age identifies 59 associated loci and unveils relationships with mental and physical health - Nature Aging This genomic study of magnetic resonance imaging-based brain age in 56,348 people identifies 59 genetic loci, links brain aging to mental and physical health, and suggests high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes as causal factors of brain aging.

🧠 Why do some brains age faster than others?
🧬 Our new Nature Aging study of over 56,000 participants explores the genetics of the β€œbrain age gap” β€” the difference between your brain’s biological and chronological age.
