“Inverse vaccine” reverses autoimmune diseases like MS, diabetes & arthritis

Researchers have developed an “inverse vaccine” that reverses the damage caused when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s healthy organs and tissues in autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. It… Continue reading “Inverse vaccine” reverses autoimmune diseases like MS, diabetes & arthritis

Nasal Alzheimer’s drug effective regardless of brain plaque levels

Researchers have found that a drug, delivered through the nose, effectively reduced brain inflammation in mice with Alzheimer's disease

Researchers have found that an intranasal immunotherapy drug, currently being tested as a treatment for multiple sclerosis, reduced brain inflammation and improved cognition in mice with Alzheimer’s disease, independent of the amount of beta-amyloid plaques present. They say the treatment could benefit people in the later stages of the disease.

Low-emissions flash method upcycles waste plastic into “free” hydrogen

Researchers have used a low-emissions method to harvest hydrogen and graphene from waste plastics. They say it not only solves environmental problems like plastic pollution and greenhouse gas production, but the value of the graphene by-product could o… Continue reading Low-emissions flash method upcycles waste plastic into “free” hydrogen

COVID’s – and other viruses’ – Achilles’ heel identified

Researchers have identified how the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 takes advantage of our cellular machinery to replicate and spread in the body, and, importantly, a way to stop it. The finding could lead to the development of a new class of ant… Continue reading COVID’s – and other viruses’ – Achilles’ heel identified

Focused ultrasound could be a non-invasive treatment for Alzheimer’s

Researchers have used focused ultrasound to non-invasively open up the blood-brain barrier (red) in mice

Two new studies have found that using focused ultrasound to open up the blood-brain barrier generated a positive immune response in the brain and allowed for the admission of gene-editing technology. The technique could be a non-invasive way of treating neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
