TB Vaccine Flushes Alzheimer’s Amyloid

The BCG vaccine remodels the human brain’s immune environment via trained immunity. Tracking older adults over one year, researchers demonstrated that BCG enhances central nervous system immune cell responsiveness and lowers amyloid-beta levels in the cerebrospinal fluid of healthy individuals, offering an early preventative pathway against Alzheimer's disease.

XL20 Crosses Blood-Brain Barrier to Shield ALS Neurons

A new study introduces XL20, an experimental small-molecule drug that crosses the blood-brain barrier to selectively block a toxic region on the TDP-43 protein. This precise mechanism halts neuron death and slows muscle wasting in ALS models while leaving the protein's healthy, vital biological functions completely intact.

Does Melatonin Help Reduce Chronic Pain?

Melatonin can reduce chronic musculoskeletal pain by 9 to 10 points on a 100-point scale. This therapeutic relief matches the efficacy of opioids and NSAIDs while bypassing their severe risks of organ toxicity and addiction, offering a safe, non-dependent adjunct that treats pain and sleep disruption simultaneously.
