American Medical Association Backs Classification of Nearsightedness as Disease

Blood-Brain Barrier Successfully Repaired in Alzheimer's Models: in Alzheimer's disease, this protective border can begin to leak

New research found greater amounts of REM and deep sleep were associated with lower risks of dozens of diseases, while less than 5 hours of total sleep was linked to high risks of disease

Cerebral Palsy Might Not Actually Be a Disease, Scientists Say

Large Study of 318,000 People Links Subclinical Liver Disease to 2.5× Higher Cardiovascular Risk

U of A Researchers Led by Dr. Satyabrata Kar Uncover Breakthrough Approach to Treating Alzheimer's Disease

First for RNA therapy: man with rare motor-neuron disease, also called ALS, improves after treatment and continued to work as a physician a year after becoming the first person to receive a drug designed to target the specific genetic mutation that causes his disease.

Psilocybin restores spatial memory but not fronto-hippocampal synchrony in a rat model of Alzheimer’s disease

Hot weather kills off 9.7% of disease carrying mosquitoes, but speeds up the virus in survivors and shifts human behaviour, driving a projected 76% rise in chikungunya cases.

In a prospective study of 104,806 adults followed for a median 8.1 years, greater differences in meal timing between weekdays and weekends were associated with higher cardiovascular disease risk in men

Preclinical study identifies TAB2 as a key regulator of microglial neuroinflammation in Parkinson's disease models

Formally recognizing insulin resistance as a distinct disease, rather than just a risk factor, would facilitate earlier diagnosis and standardized treatment.

Make infectious disease data boring again

The diabetes and weight-loss drug semaglutide was found to calm brain inflammation and accelerate cellular recovery in mice, suggesting it could potentially protect against cognitive decline and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's disease

A mysterious kidney disease has arrived in Texas

In mice, researchers found evidence that Alzheimer’s disease may originate outside the brain, with signals from other organs helping drive the neurodegenerative changes linked to memory loss and cognitive decline.

A new genomic language AI model, GPN-Star, outperforms existing models in identifying genetic variants associated with inherited traits, including variants linked to disease.

A new study reveals that Australia's pre-colonization Indigenous population was approximately 2.22 million people, up to 7 times larger than previously estimated, exposing a devastating demographic catastrophe caused by subsequent disease and colonial violence.

Atlas of the brain’s striatum could guide researchers to new drug treatments: « A new study reveals insights into populations of neurons affected by Huntington’s disease, schizophrenia…

Common genetic marker associated with faster Parkinson’s disease progression: People who carried the Melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) loss-of-function variants experienced 30% to 50% faster motor decline than non-carriers across two independent cohorts

Popular erectile dysfunction drug linked to eye disease that can cause irreversible vision loss

A simple drawing test may detect Parkinson’s disease with up to 99% accuracy

Abdominal fat predicts heart disease risk better than BMI

An experimental one-time treatment for high cholesterol shows promising results: « Heart disease remains the leading killer of people worldwide, and one of the key risk factors driving deaths is elevated levels of cholesterol

In recent years, researchers have suggested Alzheimer's may spread through infection, somehow transmitted like a pathogen, leading to the disease

It is not amyloid plaques that cause sleep loss in Alzheimer’s disease but microglia

MRI may help predict progression in early-onset Alzheimer’s disease

Centenarians’ offspring had a 42% lower risk of death, 33% lower risk of cardiovascular disease and 32% lower risk of hypertension than people whose parents had shorter lifespans
