  • Potential gene therapy for late-stage Parkinson’s side-effects uncovered
    on June 3, 2026 at 8:40 pm

    Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that suppressing excitatory synaptic transmission in a small group of neurons in the brain may reverse levodopa-induced dyskinesia in patients with late-stage Parkinson’s disease without reducing the symptomatic benefits of levodopa treatment, according to a recent study published in Neuron.

  • Infertility tied to early menopause onset
    on June 3, 2026 at 8:40 pm

    The average woman spends more than one-third of her life in menopause. Some women, however, must deal with menopause-related symptoms longer and face added health problems because of premature menopause (before age 40) or early menopause (before age 45). A new study found that infertility may be a risk factor for early menopause. Results of the study are published online today in Menopause.

    Fewer serious complications. Fewer hospitalizations and blood transfusions. Better growth and development. And a markedly lower risk of death from the complications of sickle cell anemia.

  • Air pollution may be harming your brain’s ‘encyclopedia’
    on June 3, 2026 at 8:20 pm

    A new study by researchers at UC Davis Health and Kaiser Permanente found that higher exposure to very small air pollution particles (PM2.5) over a 17-year span was associated with lower semantic memory. Semantic memory acts like the brain’s “encyclopedia” for things like facts, words and long-term general knowledge.

  • Genetics for high pulse pressure associated with higher risk of dementia-related death
    on June 3, 2026 at 8:00 pm

    When looking at genetic variants in a person’s DNA that predispose them to disease, a new study has found having a higher number of genetic variants for increased pulse pressure is associated with a small, increased risk of dementia as a contributing cause of death. The study was published in Neurology.
