Researchers have developed a novel AI method that uses AI to detect early signs of Alzheimer’s disease up to six years before it’s formally diagnosed.

Coronary artery disease, or coronary heart disease, can lead to heart attack or death. Learn what causes this condition and how you can prevent it.

Through a new approach dubbed AMBAR, the biotechnology company Grifols has attempted to reduce the amount of harmful, Alzheimer’s disease-causing amyloid beta in the brain by collecting it with a blood protein called albumin and draining it out of the bloodstream. This approach differs from the previous antibody and catabody approaches and offers new hope for sufferers of this neurodegenerative disease.

What is Alzheimer’s disease?

Alzheimer’s disease, named after its discoverer, is a slow and progressive disease that causes the degradation of the brains of its sufferers. This leads to memory loss, a decrease in problem-solving abilities, changes in personality, and other symptoms. It is associated with the accumulation of tau and amyloid beta in the brain.

Should we start to tinker with the human genome and alter our own biology?

SpaceX has started preparations for recovering International Space Station (ISS) astronauts during ocean touchdowns, conducting landing and patient loading rehearsals on their recovery ship GO Searcher.

NASA recently shared photos of the rehearsals on board GO Searcher, which has been upgraded with a medical treatment facility and a helipad in the center of the vessel.

SpaceX practiced how the helicopter will pick up astronauts and fly them to a nearby hospital, in case of a medical emergency.

Nanostraws could be a way to deliver molecules into many cells at once, which may one day improve gene therapy for cancer and other diseases.

These results substantially change the debate on whether cell-phone use is a cancer risk at all.

The studies were nearly two decades in the making.

Scientists have zeroed in on breast cancer cells’ most imminent danger lies in the spreading, which helps find new ways to prevent them.
