Increases in Brain Protein, Not Just Amyloid Clearance, Linked to Slower Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer’s
A study challenges the amyloid plaque theory in Alzheimer’s, showing that increased levels of the brain protein Aβ42 are as strongly correlated with slower cognitive decline as reductions in amyloid plaques.

Dysfunctional White Blood Cells Linked to Higher Melanoma Risk
An overabundance of cloned white blood cells hampers the immune system and increases the risk of melanoma, a new study finds.

Brain Network Twice as Large in Depressed Individuals
A study found that individuals with depression have a brain network, the frontostriatal salience network, nearly twice as large as those without depression. This enlargement is stable over time and could serve as a biomarker for early diagnosis.

Brain Pressure Monitoring in Intensive Care Patients Could Be Revolutionized by AI Tool
Researchers have developed a noninvasive technique that could dramatically improve the way doctors monitor intracranial hypertension, a condition where increased pressure in the brain can lead to severe outcomes like strokes and hemorrhages.
