      Targeted Therapy Vorasidenib Offers Hope for Deadly Brain Tumors

      A newly developed drug, Vorasidenib, has shown promise in prolonging progression-free survival for patients with a subtype of glioma. The international study found that patients taking Vorasidenib could go nearly 17 more months without their cancer worsening, postponing the need for radiation and chemotherapy.

      Aging Myelin: A New Perspective in Alzheimer’s Disease Progression

      Age-related degeneration of myelin, the insulating layer around nerve cells in the brain, actively promotes disease-related changes in Alzheimer's. Researchers examined mouse models of Alzheimer's with myelin defects, finding that these defects accelerated the formation of amyloid plaques, a characteristic sign of Alzheimer's.

      Inhale, Exhale, Remember: Uncovering the Breath-Memory Connection

      Intricate links between breathing and memory recall have been unraveled by recent scientific research, painting a more complex picture of our cognitive processes. Studies reveal that the rhythm of our breathing can influence neural activity, impacting cognitive functions such as emotional processing and memory recall. The most compelling evidence highlights that inhalation, particularly through the nose, can improve memory function.

      Reduced Oxygen Intake Linked to Extended Lifespan

      Researchers revealed a correlation between reduced oxygen intake, or 'oxygen restriction,' and extended lifespan in lab mice. The study found that mice in an oxygen-restricted environment lived about 50% longer than those in normal oxygen levels.

      Shared Genetics for Cannabis Use and Psychiatric Disorders

      Researchers discovered shared genetic underpinnings for cannabis use and psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Employing advanced statistical modelling, the study revealed a complex interplay of genetic variants increasing or decreasing risk factors for these conditions. These findings may contribute to personalized preventive measures and interventional strategies.

      YouTube Habits Linked to Increased Loneliness and Anxiety

      Researchers have found a link between frequent YouTube usage and increased levels of loneliness, anxiety, and depression, especially among viewers under 29. The study raises concerns about 'parasocial relationships' between creators and viewers, as well as the algorithmic recommendation of suicide-related content. The team suggests AI-based solutions to guide users towards positive mental health content.
