A Cambridge biotech just secured $5 million to fast-track a groundbreaking Alzheimer's treatment that targets brain inflammation instead of protein buildup. The therapy could help millions by addressing a root cause that's been overlooked for decades.
Researchers in Brazil discovered a naturally occurring molecule that shields brain cells from Parkinson's damage in mice. Unlike current treatments that only mask symptoms, this approach targets the root inflammation causing cell death.
Researchers discovered compounds that could reduce brain inflammation in Alzheimer's patients, especially those with the high-risk APOE4 gene. The breakthrough targets a specific enzyme while preserving healthy brain function.
Researchers at the University of Southern California have created compounds that could calm brain inflammation tied to Alzheimer's disease while preserving normal brain function. The breakthrough targets a specific enzyme elevated in people with the APOE4 gene, the strongest genetic risk factor for the disease.
A new study of over 500,000 nursing home residents found that people who received the Shingrix shingles vaccine were 24% less likely to develop dementia. This common vaccine could prevent one in 17 dementia cases while also protecting against painful shingles infections.
Researchers discovered a peptide that works like a molecular switch-off button for the runaway inflammation behind allergic asthma. The nasal spray treatment could help millions dealing with chronic inflammatory diseases.
A groundbreaking clinical trial has begun testing an oral medication that could slow Parkinson's disease progression by targeting inflammation in the brain. The drug has already shown a remarkable safety record across multiple disease trials.
Researchers in Brazil discovered a naturally occurring peptide that protects brain cells from Parkinson's damage by targeting inflammation instead of just symptoms. The breakthrough could lead to treatments that actually slow the disease rather than mask its effects.
Scientists using quantum computers just identified hidden causes of long COVID that traditional AI missed, opening doors to new treatments. This breakthrough shows how quantum technology could revolutionize personalized medicine for everyone.
