Mutation in Brain’s Immune Cells Linked to Alzheimer’s Risk

A genetic mutation affecting microglia, the brain's immune cells, can increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease up to threefold. The mutation, known as TREM2 R47H/+, impairs microglia function and contributes to Alzheimer's pathology.

Hippocampus Shrinkage Linked to Cognitive Decline Beyond Alzheimer’s

A new study indicates that hippocampal shrinkage in the brain is associated with cognitive decline, independent of amyloid-beta plaques, a key marker of Alzheimer's disease. The study suggests that neurodegenerative diseases other than Alzheimer's contribute to cognitive decline.

Men Feel Less Pain When It’s Inflicted By A Woman

Researchers have uncovered a unique aspect of pain perception: men feel less pain when it is inflicted by a woman compared to a man. This phenomenon was observed in both experimental settings with healthy volunteers and postoperative patients.

Parkinson’s Progression Halted by Inhibiting Enzyme

Researchers discovered that inhibiting a specific enzyme, USP30, in a mouse model protects dopamine-producing neurons, which are typically lost as the disease progresses. This groundbreaking finding suggests a new therapeutic avenue that could slow or even prevent Parkinson's progression.

Cannabis Use Linked to Heightened Heart Risk

Recent studies indicate that regular marijuana use may increase the risk of heart failure, stroke, and heart attack. Researchers found that daily marijuana users had a 34% increased risk of developing heart failure, with coronary artery disease being a likely pathway.

High-Sugar Diets May Fuel Brain Decline

Research suggests a high-sugar diet, commonly associated with obesity, leads to insulin resistance in the brain and may heighten the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. The study reveals that this insulin resistance impairs glial cells' ability to clear neuronal debris, a crucial process for preventing neurodegeneration.

Heart Health Linked to Slower Aging

Optimal cardiovascular health may slow biological aging, potentially staving off age-related diseases and extending lifespan. Using the American Heart Association’s Life’s Essential 8 checklist against phenotypic age—a measure based on blood markers rather than chronological age—researchers found a clear correlation: better heart health was linked with younger biological ages.
