Sex-dependent depression symptoms reduce healthspan in older adults
Depression is a serious mental health issue that can rob us of joy - and years of healthy living. While we know that depressive symptoms can cut down the remaining years of disability-free living (or "healthspan") in older adults, it was unclear exactly which symptoms could be the culprit.

Your brain may taste with its ears, new study suggests
Music composed to evoke sweetness or sourness engaged taste-related brain regions and strengthened gustatory and sensorimotor responses when paired with matching taste stimuli. Sweet music also made tastants more pleasant, although effects on sweetness and sourness intensity were modest.

Novel analysis identifies unique proliferation gene alterations in diverse cancer patients
New research to be presented today (Monday) at the annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics shows that a cancer patient's genetic ancestry can have a significant effect both on how their disease progresses and their survival. In the largest study of its kind, researchers examined nearly 1,900 specific genetic changes in tumors in order to measure whether certain mutations were more common in patients with different historic geographic origins.
