Scientists at Northwestern University discovered a biomarker that could lead to the first effective treatment for cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia, potentially helping millions live independently. A single injection improved brain function in early tests with no negative side effects.
Portuguese researchers discovered that a basic dictation task can reveal signs of cognitive decline in older adults through timing and stroke patterns. This breakthrough could transform how doctors screen for dementia using nothing more than pen and paper.
Scientists discovered that common flu antivirals like Tamiflu might help reverse the inflammation causing cognitive problems in people living with HIV. The breakthrough could improve quality of life for millions as the HIV population ages.
For the first time, a new treatment called bepirovirsen has achieved functional cure in 1 in 5 hepatitis B patients, compared to nearly zero with current therapies. This breakthrough could free millions from lifelong daily medication.
A groundbreaking hepatitis B treatment is helping one in five patients stop therapy entirely while keeping the deadly liver virus undetectable. After decades of searching, researchers may have found the path to a functional cure for a disease that kills 1.1 million people yearly.
A groundbreaking hepatitis B treatment is letting patients stop therapy while keeping the deadly liver virus undetectable. The experimental drug achieved a "functional cure" in 20% of trial participants, a breakthrough decades in the making.
A breakthrough medication called bepirovirsen has functionally cured 20% of chronic hepatitis B patients within one year, marking the first major treatment advance in decades. The FDA is expected to decide on approval this October.
Researchers have identified the exact mechanism that kills brain cells responsible for memory and thinking in multiple sclerosis patients. The breakthrough discovery opens a completely new path for protecting cognitive function in people living with MS.
New research reveals that becoming a parent triggers lasting brain changes that may improve cognitive function and protect against memory decline. Both mothers and fathers experience these powerful neurological adaptations that persist for years.
A new drug called EG501 significantly improved cognitive function in lupus patients during a 12-week trial, offering hope for the 80% who struggle with debilitating brain fog. Vanderbilt researchers discovered the biological cause and successfully targeted it with treatment.
Daniel Cressy, 23, has become the first person in Louisiana to be functionally cured of sickle cell disease using groundbreaking gene therapy. His treatment gives hope to over 100,000 Americans living with the painful blood disorder.
A 23-year-old aspiring pilot from New Orleans has become the first person in Louisiana functionally cured of sickle cell disease through groundbreaking gene therapy. Daniel Cressy can now pursue his aviation dreams and help others through his nonprofit.
Women in their 40s and 50s experiencing memory lapses and mental fog aren't imagining it. New research confirms perimenopause affects brain function, but experts say simple lifestyle changes can make a real difference.
A promising new treatment for ALS has entered human trials across multiple countries, offering hope to patients by targeting a protein crucial for nerve-muscle communication. The therapy aims to restore function in most ALS patients through a novel genetic approach.
Scientists have discovered that getting your hands dirty in the garden might be one of the best things you can do for your brain. This simple springtime activity offers surprising cognitive benefits that researchers are just beginning to understand.
Researchers discovered a liver protein that strengthens brain barriers and improves memory in aging mice, offering hope for those who can't exercise. The breakthrough could lead to drugs that deliver cognitive benefits without physical activity.
Scientists discovered that restoring a declining brain protein called Menin reversed memory loss, bone thinning, and inflammation in aging mice. A simple amino acid supplement also improved brain function, offering new hope for treating age-related decline.
Researchers found that declining levels of a brain protein called Menin may drive aging, but they reversed memory loss and physical decline in elderly mice within 30 days. An amino acid supplement found in eggs and soybeans also boosted cognitive function.
Scientists at MIT identified a gene mutation that causes the brain to get stuck on outdated beliefs and successfully reversed the effect in mice. The discovery opens promising new treatment paths for cognitive symptoms in schizophrenia patients.
A groundbreaking UCLA study of 7,000 women reveals that pregnancy and breastfeeding are connected to better cognitive function decades later. The findings could reshape how we approach Alzheimer's prevention for women.
