    Anti-amyloid drug shows signs of preventing Alzheimer’s dementia

    An experimental drug appears to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s-related dementia in people destined to develop the disease in their 30s, 40s or 50s, according to the results of a study led by the Knight Family Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network-Trials Unit (DIAN-TU), which is based at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The findings suggest — for the first time in a clinical trial — that early treatment to remove amyloid plaques from the brain many years before…

    Uniquely shaped, fast-heating nanoparticles halt ovarian tumor growth

    New magnetic nanoparticles in the shape of a cube sandwiched between two pyramids represent a breakthrough for treating ovarian tumors and possibly other types of cancer, according to the Oregon State University researchers who developed them.

    The scientists say the study underscores the importance of shape in magnetic nanoparticle design and that the findings will potentially revolutionize treatments that use heat to damage or kill cancer cells.

    Made of iron oxide and doped with cobalt, the…

    Sleepier during the day? For some older people, it’s linked to twice the dementia risk

    For women in their 80s, experiencing increasing sleepiness during the day over a five-year period is associated with double the risk of developing dementia during that time, according to a study published on March 19, 2025, online in Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. The study does not prove that daytime sleepiness causes dementia; it only shows an association.

    “Sleep is essential for cognitive health, as it allows the brain to rest and rejuvenate,…

    Israeli violence is rapidly emptying Jordan Valley of Palestinians

    On the first day of Ramadan, Yasser Abu Aram sat and stared despondently at his plot of land in Khirbet Samra in the occupied West Bank. Months of relentless harassment by young Israeli settlers — who stole his livestock and encircled the small shepherding community day and night — had taken their toll.

    “Everything that is happening here is also happening in the surrounding communities,” Abu Aram told +972 Magazine. “Today it’s me. Tomorrow it’s someone…

  • New data on Mpox vaccine effectiveness

    New data on Mpox vaccine effectiveness

    A study at Charité — Universitätsmedizin Berlin has found that a single dose of the Imvanex vaccine provides protection against Mpox with 84% effectiveness. For people with HIV, however, a single dose of the vaccine fails to offer sufficient protection. All at-risk groups, and people with HIV in particular, should therefore receive the second dose of the vaccine as recommended. The results of the study have now been published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases.

    Since a wave of infections…
