- Experimental Alzheimer’s drug reverses memory loss in mice by reprogramming gene activityon March 13, 2026 at 6:20 pm
A team from the University of Barcelona has designed and validated in animal models an innovative compound with a pioneering mechanism of action for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Unlike current drugs, which mainly remove beta-amyloid plaques that accumulate in the brain, this new experimental drug reprograms the neuronal epigenome by correcting alterations in gene expression that contribute to the progression of the disease.
- Excessive smartphone use associated with symptoms of eating disorder and body dissatisfaction in young peopleon March 13, 2026 at 6:10 pm
New research from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King’s College London has found that excessive smartphone use is closely associated with disordered eating, including uncontrolled eating and emotional overeating, as well as greater symptoms of food addiction in young people with no diagnosis of an eating disorder.
- Multi-cytokine scaffold helps CAR-T cells fight cancer and HIV for longeron March 13, 2026 at 6:00 pm
A research team led by Albert Einstein College of Medicine scientists has developed a new strategy to engineer immune cells that dramatically prolongs their effectiveness after being infused into patients to fight cancer and HIV, addressing a major limitation of current treatments. Their findings, published in Science Advances, describe a manufacturing approach that, compared to the existing process, generates longer-lasting immune cells that provide more sustained control of human blood cancers and suppression of HIV infection in mouse models.
- Targeting two flu proteins sharply reduces airborne spread, study findson March 13, 2026 at 6:00 pm
A long-running debate in vaccine design revolves around whether a vaccine should be optimized to prevent the virus from replicating inside an infected host or prevent the virus from transmitting to others. New research led by Penn State scientists suggests there may not have to be a tradeoff.
- The ghosts we see: Afterimages provide clues to how our brains perceive a stable environmenton March 13, 2026 at 6:00 pm
Our eyes alone do not provide us with a continuous and stable view of the world. They jump several times each second in rapid movements called saccades. Because the eye projects the world onto the retina, we should see the world shift abruptly each time the eyes move; the visual scene should feel unstable. However, the brain uses sophisticated mechanisms that ensure it does not.
