Nasal Spray Derived From Human Placenta Protects Against Alzheimer's Decline, Study in Mice Shows (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The sticky proteins amyloid-beta and tau are hallmark features of Alzheimer's disease, but they're not the only contributors to the condition. Another factor implicated in cognitive decline is the chronic activation of specific cells in the brain – namely microglia and astrocytes – which can damage neurons through neuroinflammation. In a new study reported in Translational Neurodegeneration, scientists may have found a way to help counter that inflammation, with help coming from what might seem
'Living Medication' May Have Restored Bone Strength in 10 Patients With Advanced Osteoporosis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The true scale of osteoporosis is difficult to fathom. The progressive bone-weakening disease is estimated to affect as many as 500 million people worldwide, triggering up to 37 million fragility fractures a year. That's a bone breaking in someone's body every single second. While there's no cure for the condition, scientists say they may have found a kind of "living medication" for the disease. In a first-in-human phase 1 trial reported in Cell, researchers gave patients with advanced osteoporo
Australia's Indigenous Population Was 7 Times Larger Than Estimated, Study Finds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cultural warning: This article discusses the deaths of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, including through disease and frontier violence, and features images of deceased people. It's difficult to comprehend the scale of what happened to Australia's Indigenous population when Britain's First Fleet invaded in 1788. One reason for that, in the simplest terms, is we never knew how many people lived in Australia before European colonization irrevocably transformed the continent. Now rese
Bizarre Rash Was Thought to Be a Liver Injury, But It Was Caused by a Common Habit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When a young boy reported to the emergency department with a mysterious form of 'spontaneous bruising' marking his abdomen, doctors were basically stumped. Neither the boy nor his parents had any idea how the strange lesions had formed, and a range of tests all came up clear. But as the unusual rash worsened over the weeks following, a single piece of information dropped into the doctors' laps, solving the medical mystery. It turns out the trauma, detailed in BMJ Case Reports, was a case of eryt
Scientists Gave Cash to Low-Income Moms, And It Altered Their Babies' Aging (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We usually think of aging as something that catches up with us later in life. Biologically speaking, however, the story may begin much earlier. An emerging body of research suggests that growing up poor may speed up biological aging in childhood, adding to the range of effects poverty seems to have on children, some of which could persist for life. Despite the weight of evidence, though, it's been difficult to confirm the causal effects of poverty on children's health, given the huge amount of o
