“Findings from a recent study suggest that the bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine, originally developed to provide immunity against tuberculosis and now widely used to treat bladder cancer, may be useful in reducing the incidence of Alzheimer's disease in bladder cancer patients.”

“A recent study found that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, such as Ozempic, Wegovy, or others, may double the risk of developing neovascular age-related macular degeneration, the most serious form of the disease.”

“Night time exposure to blue light is associated with a 1.5-fold and 2-fold higher risk of developing breast and prostate cancer, respectively. Breast and prostate cancers are also significantly higher in shift workers.”

“Similarly, human teens who used cannabis had thinner cortex regions. Further analysis linked these structural changes to genes involved in brain development, including processes like learning and memory.”

“Findings from a 2013 study suggest that psychosocial stress promotes the release of interleukin 6 (IL-6), potentially driving the development of depression. IL-6 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays an important role as a mediator of fever and the body's immune response.”

“The balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fats in the blood may influence a person's risk of developing metabolic syndrome—a cluster of conditions that raise the risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.”

“While this study was an observational study which makes it difficult to establish causation, it suggests that high blood sugar that is not treated is linked to tau pathology which may accelerate dementia and Alzheimer's disease.”

“A new type of gene editing CRISPR system has been developed that can erase large pieces of DNA from a specific site in the human genome and has the potential to eliminate viruses like herpes simplex, Epstein-Barr, and hepatitis B.”

“The authors of the study first conducted a cross-sectional analysis involving nearly 113,000 people to determine whether there was an association between dairy intake and prevalence of metabolic syndrome.”

“FTA: > Engineers have developed a surgical robot designed to perform brain surgery by entering through the cheek instead of the skull that can operate on a patient in an MRI scanner. Additionally, the engineers have designed the system so that much of it can be made using 3-D printing in order to keep the price low.”
