Young Adult Substance Use Affects Memory at 65

Heavy substance use between ages 18 and 30 is linked to poor memory at age 65. While smoking causes direct long-term damage, alcohol and cannabis impact memory by increasing the risk of midlife addiction.

Split Protein Builds the Infrastructure for Weight Loss

Researchers discovered that the protein SLIT3 splits in two to build the "infrastructure" of brown fat. By expanding blood vessels and nerves, SLIT3 enables brown fat to burn more energy, offering a new non-appetite-based strategy for treating obesity.

How Intestinal Cells Trigger Multiple Sclerosis

Researchers have discovered that gut lining cells trigger the neuroinflammation seen in Multiple Sclerosis. By mistakenly "presenting" antigens, these cells create pathogenic Th17 cells that migrate to the brain and spinal cord.
