          Lab-Designed Peptide Targets Glioblastoma Stem Cells

          A newly developed lab-designed molecule, JM2, may offer a promising therapy to combat glioblastoma recurrence by targeting the tumor’s most resilient cells. Researchers discovered that glioblastoma stem cells rely on the protein connexin 43’s interaction with microtubules—an interaction disrupted by JM2.

          Seasonal Sunlight Still Shapes Human Sleep

          Despite modern lighting and lifestyle, human sleep patterns remain deeply influenced by seasonal changes in sunlight. New research reveals that our circadian rhythms track daylight shifts across seasons, impacting mood, sleep alignment, and overall health.

          Link Found Between Autism and Early-Onset Parkinson’s Risk

          A large-scale Swedish study has found that individuals with autism are at significantly higher risk of developing early-onset Parkinson’s disease. Researchers followed over two million people and discovered that those with autism were four times more likely to develop the neurodegenerative condition before age 50.

          Nitrous Oxide Unlocks Blood-Brain Barrier for Safer Gene Delivery

          Researchers have discovered that nitrous oxide can safely enhance the delivery of gene therapy to the brain by making the blood-brain barrier (BBB) more permeable when paired with focused ultrasound (FUS). This method required significantly lower concentrations of microbubbles and ultrasound pressure than conventional techniques, reducing the risk of tissue damage.

          ALS Drug Shows Unprecedented Recovery in Patients With Rare Mutation

          A groundbreaking experimental therapy for a rare, aggressive form of ALS caused by FUS gene mutations has produced surprising clinical improvements in some patients, including restored mobility and extended survival. The treatment uses antisense technology to silence the FUS gene, reducing toxic protein buildup in motor neurons. Two patients in a recent case series showed remarkable responses—one regained the ability to walk and breathe unassisted, while another has remained symptom-free for three years.

          Scientists Decode Key Motions Behind Brain’s Transport

          Cells depend on motor proteins like dynein to shuttle materials along microscopic highways, and dysfunction in these proteins can lead to serious neurological disorders. New research captured real-time, high-resolution “movies” of dynein being activated by its partner protein, Lis1, illuminating the step-by-step process.

          Tiny Genetic Code Disruption Alters Brain Wiring and Behavior

          A small genetic sequence called mini-exon B plays a surprisingly crucial role in how neurons form synaptic connections, according to new research. Scientists found that deleting this four–amino acid segment from a synapse-building protein, PTPδ, disrupted neural activity and led to anxiety-like behaviors in mice.

          Gene Amplifies Brain Sensitivity to Light During Migraines

          Researchers have identified a molecule in the brain called NEAT1 that plays a key role in light sensitivity, a common and painful symptom of migraines. NEAT1 disrupts the normal balance of nerve signaling by interfering with microRNA activity, leading to increased levels of a pain-related protein called TRPM3.

          DNA Methylation in Serotonin Center Offers New Clues to Autism

          A new study has uncovered abnormal DNA methylation patterns in the dorsal raphe—an area of the brain critical for serotonin signaling—in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). By analyzing postmortem brain samples, researchers identified epigenetic changes in key genes linked to sensory perception, serotonin regulation, and synaptic function.

          CRISPR Delivers RNA to Repair Neurons Right Where It’s Needed

          Researchers have developed a new CRISPR-based technology that transports RNA to exact locations within neurons, where it can trigger repair and regrowth—offering hope for treating neurological diseases and injuries. Unlike traditional CRISPR tools that edit DNA, this system repurposes CRISPR-Cas13 to act like a “mailman,” carrying RNA to damaged sites using built-in molecular zip codes.

          Vitamin D May Slow Biological Aging

          New results from the VITAL randomized trial show that daily vitamin D3 supplementation helps preserve telomere length in older adults, potentially slowing a key biological aging process. Telomeres are protective caps on chromosomes that shorten with age and are associated with chronic diseases.
