Experimental drug reverses synaptic loss in mouse models of Alzheimer’s

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

An experimental drug restored brain synapses in two mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease, raising hopes that it could help revive cognitive function in human dementia patients, Yale University researchers report June 1 in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

While much research in Alzheimer’s has centered on reducing levels of beta-amyloid plaque in the brain that is a hallmark of the , recent studies have suggested that immune system response in the brain also plays a role in in patients.

Some scientists now believe that cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s patients results from a loss of synaptic connections between neurons caused by a steady accumulation of beta-amyloid protein in the brain which in turn unleashes a chronic immune system response to the intruder. The end stages of the disease lead to the death of neurons.

One Dead and 22 Have Been Hospitalized in Listeria Outbreak Tied to Florida

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, food

One person has died and 22 people have been hospitalized in a listeria outbreak, with most of the infected people having been in Florida about a month before they became sick, the federal authorities said Thursday.

A food source has not been identified as the cause of the outbreak, which has sickened people across 10 states from January 2021 through June 12, 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement.

It typically takes three or four weeks to determine if an illness is tied to an outbreak, so recent cases may not be reported in the data. The true number of sick people is most likely higher because some people recover without medical care, the agency said.

What is Quantum Physics 0, and how does it work? Is quantum theory capable of explaining the universe’s mysteries?

What is Quantum Physics, and how does it work? Is quantum theory capable of explaining the universe’s mysteries? For centuries and decades, many scientists worldwide have been attempting to decipher the mysteries of the cosmos. Scientists have only cracked a handful of the universe’s inexhaustible secrets despite this. But, more importantly, are we uncovering the secrets of the cosmos correctly? Are we broadening our quest in the opposite direction of what we have mistaken for the limitless secrets of the universe? We don’t even know where to start looking for the answers to such questions.

Many outstanding scientists across the globe are using quantum theory to try to answer the universe’s unresolved riddles. And it has been somewhat successful. Quantum physics is responsible for numerous modern technologies that have revolutionized the planet. And those excellent scientists deserve to be praised. Learn what quantum physics is all about.
