Researchers show that immune cells transport toxic alpha-synuclein from the gut to the brain, supporting the theory that Parkinson's may start in the gut. The findings identify a new immune-driven ...

An analysis of 614 donated brains found that advanced CTE is strongly linked to dementia, while early-stage disease shows no cognitive or functional decline. By excluding other disorders, the study ...

A large genomic study shows human genes strongly influence the oral microbiome. Variants in genes such as AMY1 alter ...

The current gold standard methods for peering into the gut involve invasive procedures that can only provide a single snapshot of gut health. The UBC-developed biosensor, currently tested in mice, ...

Discover how air frying fatty foods produces fewer airborne pollutants than other forms of frying—so long as the fryer is cleaned regularly.

Researchers identified early-stage Parkinson’s biomarkers linked to DNA repair and cellular stress that appear in the earliest phase of Parkinson’s disease. This could enable early diagnosis and ...

Researchers have shown that fecal microbiota transplants reduced immunotherapy side effects in kidney cancer and improved ...

For patients with dementia, postoperative delirium can accelerate long-term cognitive decline. Vagus nerve stimulation could reduce brain inflammation and disruptions in awareness and attention.

Researchers developed an iron-based nanomaterial that exploited tumor acidity and hydrogen peroxide to generate two reactive ...

By selectively blocking the ATAC complex via its unique YEATS2 subunit, a new inhibitor turns off tumor-promoting genes, ...

An international review shows warming boosts microbial metabolism in thawing polar and alpine soils, accelerating breakdown ...

People with ME/CFS and long COVID have been shown to exhibit altered brain activity when undertaking a mentally demanding ...
