Protective Brain Immune Cells: The Key to Slowing Alzheimer's Disease Progression
Nov 10, 2025 02:29 am CST
Groundbreaking research reveals that specialized microglia with lower PU.1 and higher CD28 expression can protect the brain against Alzheimer's disease by reducing inflammation and blocking harmful protein accumulation, offering promising new directions for immune-based therapies against this devastating neurodegenerative condition.
COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines Show Promising Results in Boosting Cancer Immunotherapy Effectiveness
Oct 23, 2025 08:27 am CST
Research reveals that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines may significantly improve survival rates in lung and skin cancer patients receiving immunotherapy, with vaccinated lung cancer patients nearly twice as likely to survive three years after treatment. Scientists are now exploring how mRNA technology could be specifically optimized for cancer treatment beyond its original purpose.
Advances in Focused Ultrasound Technology: Promising New Treatments for Cancer, Alzheimer's and Rare Brain Diseases
Oct 16, 2025 01:53 am CST
Recent breakthroughs in focused ultrasound technology offer promising non-invasive treatment options for cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and rare neurological conditions. By concentrating sound energy into specific areas, this technology can temporarily open the blood-brain barrier for improved drug delivery, stimulate immune responses against tumors, and potentially treat previously inaccessible brain lesions, revolutionizing approaches to previously untreatable conditions.
