Revolutionary Non-Invasive Method Holds Key To Early Diagnosis Of Alzheimer’s Disease
Tau proteins are a hallmark of a number of neurodegenerative disorder disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Researchers are trying to figure out how these tau proteins work in order to create therapies, but their attempts to discover biomarkers in blood have been impeded by…
Obesity Causes The Same Type Of Neurodegeneration As Found In People With Alzheimer’s Disease, New Study
Creeping midlife weight gain can play a role in the development of Alzheimer’s and dementia, a new study published today in the journal of Alzheimer s Disease concludes. Previous studies have found a link between obesity and Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-related abnormalities, such as damage to…
Is It The Food You’re Avoiding Raising Your Risk Of Heart Disease, Cardiac Arrest, Stroke Or Something Else
A new study led by experts from Oxford Population Health and published online in BMJ Medicine indicates that people with celiac disease had an increased chance of developing cardiovascular disease. Coeliac disease, an autoimmune disorder brought on by excessive sensitivity to gluten, a dietary protein present…
One Of The Most Widely Used Eye Infection Antibiotic Could Be Used To Treat Common STI Superbug
The authors report that the latest data indicates an increase in resistance to both first and second-choice drugs for treating a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by Mycoplasma genitalium. Currently, limited evidence supports the effectiveness of third-choice drugs. In the journal Sexually Transmitted Infections, doctors…
Ants Are More Organized And Systematic Than We Previously Believed
If you’ve ever seen an ant in quest of food, you probably thought that it was just covering territory at random. But according to a study published today in the journal iScience, at least one species of rock ant doesn’t move at all randomly. Instead, their…

Scientists Make Breakthrough in Overcoming Major Efficiency Barrier for Next-Gen Batteries
Lithium metal batteries with solid electrolytes offer benefits such as lightweight, non-flammability, high energy density, and fast recharging. However, their development has been hindered by short-circuiting and failure issues. Researchers at Stanford and SLAC Lab have now identified the root cause – mechanical stress during…
Revealed: The Drink With Proven Benefits For Inflammation, Aging And More
Our immune systems deploy white blood cells and chemical chemicals to defend us if bacteria, viruses, or other foreign things enter the body. This response, known as inflammation, is typical of conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and also happens anytime we stress tendons and muscles. Polyphenols…
A Large Study Has Exposed The Hidden Pain Suffered By People Living With Arthritis
Arthritis is a broad term for a group of conditions that cause severe pain in the joints. Most of these start when the cartilage starts to break down. Sharp “needle-shaped” crystals build up in the joints, causing more severe types of arthritis like gout. But…
Can We Match the Human Brain’s Intelligence?
In 1990, Australian roboticist Rodney Brooks published a paper titled “Elephants don’t play chess,” which introduced the concept that AI can improve by learning like the human brain. The idea is that AI can emulate human thinking by gradually building simple connections into more complex…
