Why Women Face Higher Alzheimer’s Risk

Women are nearly twice as likely as men to develop Alzheimer’s disease, a disparity that can’t be fully explained by longevity alone. Researchers are exploring biological differences, focusing on X chromosome-linked genes and hormonal shifts like menopause.

Weekly Injection Could Revolutionize Parkinson’s Treatment

Researchers have developed a long-acting weekly injection that delivers steady doses of levodopa and carbidopa, potentially transforming care for Parkinson’s disease. The biodegradable injectable maintains consistent drug levels, reducing the need for multiple daily pills and improving patient adherence.

Gene Key to MS Immune Regulation Discovered

New research has identified the gene Egr-1 as a critical regulator of immune balance, offering hope for autoimmune disease therapies. In a mouse model of multiple sclerosis, loss of Egr-1 led to reduced regulatory T cell activity and heightened inflammation. T

Study Challenges Link Between Football and Brain Protein Buildup

A new study questions whether playing youth football leads to harmful protein buildup in the brain. Researchers examined 174 donated brains, including former high school and college players, and found no link between contact sports and excess tau protein in a key memory region.

Common Pain Medication Linked to Cognitive Decline Risk

A large U.S. medical records study has found that adults prescribed gabapentin six or more times for chronic low back pain face significantly higher risks of dementia (29%) and mild cognitive impairment (85%) within 10 years. The risks were especially pronounced in younger adults aged 35–64, where rates of cognitive decline more than doubled or tripled compared to those not on the drug.

Cancer Pathway Found to Weaken Brain and Eye Barriers

Researchers have uncovered a surprising connection between a cancer-related signaling pathway and the blood-brain and blood-retina barriers. The study shows that the tumor-suppressing protein p53 weakens the Norrin/Frizzled4 pathway, which is crucial for maintaining these protective barriers.

Brain Pathway Reveals How Pain Feels Emotionally

Pain is more than a physical signal — it also carries emotional weight that shapes our response and memory of discomfort. A new study identifies a group of neurons in the thalamus that directly links pain signals to the brain’s emotional center.

Genes and Brain Wiring Team Up in Alzheimer’s Spread

A new study reveals how genes influence where and how Alzheimer’s-related tau protein spreads in the brain. By combining imaging, gene data, and advanced modeling, researchers uncovered four gene pathways that either amplify or resist tau buildup, depending on brain connectivity.

How Fast Your Brain Ages Could Determine Your Future Health

A new study reveals that our organs age at different speeds, and those differences can predict future disease risk and even life expectancy. Using blood-based protein signatures from over 44,000 participants, researchers developed an algorithm to estimate the biological age of 11 organ systems.

Side of Parkinson’s Onset Shapes Cognitive and Emotional Decline

Parkinson’s disease often starts on one side of the body, and new research shows this asymmetry influences how non-motor symptoms progress. Patients whose symptoms begin on the right side tend to experience greater cognitive decline and higher dementia risk.

Stem Cell Grafts Show Promise in Repairing Myelin in MS

A new study reveals that neural stem cell grafts can generate new myelin in the central nervous system, offering hope for treating progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers showed that induced neural stem cells matured into myelin-producing oligodendrocytes and safely integrated into damaged regions in a mouse model.

Clearing Brain Sugar Stores Could Protect Against Dementia

New research reveals that sugar metabolism in brain cells may be a crucial defense against Alzheimer’s and related dementias. Scientists found that neurons in both flies and human models of tauopathy accumulate excess glycogen, which disrupts cellular stress management when it can’t be broken down.
