Good news, useful optimism, and meaningful progress from around the world.
A little-known protein may be fueling Alzheimer’s — and scientists found a way to block it
An experimental Alzheimer’s compound prevented damaging protein clumps from forming in the brains of mice, helping nerve cells survive longer and reducing amyloid...
Copper drug restores memory and clears toxic Alzheimer’s proteins
Researchers have found a drug which delivers copper to the brain significantly reduces toxic Alzheimer’s proteins & improves long-term spatial memory.
Microrobots repair spinal cord
Stem cells + magnetoelectric nanoparticles can be precisely guided to the site of a spinal cord injury. In experiments on zebrafish and mice, this accelerated the...
A new pancreatic cancer drug is changing survival rates for one of the deadliest cancers
A new pancreatic cancer drug, daraxonrasib, is showing impressive results, nearly doubling survival in early trials. Here’s what doctors say.
Scientists say they’ve reversed brain aging with a simple nasal spray
Researchers at Texas A&M have developed a nasal spray that appears to reverse brain aging by calming inflammation and restoring the brain’s energy systems. After just...
'World-first' vaccine designed by artificial intelligence
AI has been used to develop a "fundamentally new" type of vaccine that could protect against large swathes of viruses and prevent pandemics, say researchers.
Scientists found a hidden Alzheimer’s trigger and shut it down
A newly identified enzyme called IDOL could become a major new target in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers found that removing it from neurons sharply...
Scientists discover strange link between vitamin D and pain
Low vitamin D levels could be quietly making breast cancer surgery recovery far more painful. In a new study, patients deficient in vitamin D were three times more...
Scientists boosted one protein and aging mice became stronger and healthier
Scientists have identified a protein that appears to put the brakes on the chronic inflammation linked to aging. Older mice with boosted levels of the protein were...
Study: Millions of breast cancer patients could avoid chemotherapy
A new DNA test could help screen whether patients require the treatment or not, according to a new international trial.
Researchers block key protein that spreads Parkinson’s through the brain
Researchers discovered cells release the protein in response to damaged neurons. In early experiments, antibodies that blocked GPNMB stopped the toxic process from...
