Chemotherapy brain fog cleared with simple light and sound treatment

Posted on March 12, 2024 by Michael Irving

MIT scientists have shown in mice that a simple light and sound exposure therapy can reduce symptoms of 'chemo brain,' the cognitive issues that arise during chemotherapy

If you or someone you know has gone through chemotherapy, you might be familiar with the side effect commonly called ‘chemo brain.’ Scientists have now demonstrated a simple way to protect brain cells from damage using flashing lights and sounds at a certain frequency.

Stem cell injections help slow progression of MS in clinical trial

Posted on November 28, 2023 by Michael Irving

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating disease with few treatment options. But in a new clinical trial, scientists have tested a promising new therapy involving injections of stem cells, which seems to slow progression of the disease.Continue Readin… Continue reading Stem cell injections help slow progression of MS in clinical trial→

Biomarker predicts worsening MS 2 years out, provides treatment window

Posted on November 8, 2023 by Paul McClure

New research has found that elevation of a biomarker of nerve damage, neurofilament light chain (NfL), predicts the worsening of multiple sclerosis disability up to two years before it occurs. The biomarker provides a timeframe in which interventions c… Continue reading Biomarker predicts worsening MS 2 years out, provides treatment window→

Simple test predicts Alzheimer’s risk, 20 years before symptoms show

Posted on September 20, 2023 by Bronwyn Thompson

Researcher Shankar Dutt with a new diagnostic tool that can isolate proteins from other biomolecules in the blood to search for signs of early neurodegeneration

Australian National University (ANU) physicists have combined nanotechnology, artificial intelligence and molecular biology to design a novel method that looks for Alzheimer’s disease protein markers in blood. These markers are tell-tale signs of early neurodegeneration, and early detection is so far the best defense we have in order to effectively intervene in Alzheimer’s progression. While there’s no cure for the disease, a 20-year jump on symptoms first appearing has the potential to significantly change health outcomes.

Amping up natural mechanism self-repairs nerves to alleviate MS symptoms

Posted on August 23, 2023 by Bronwyn Thompson

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating inflammatory autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). While sufferers can experience long periods of remission where common symptoms such as motor control and fatigue can subside as MS … Continue reading Amping up natural mechanism self-repairs nerves to alleviate MS symptoms→

Groundbreaking Epstein-Barr virus vaccine may prevent MS

Posted on August 9, 2023 by Paul McClure

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking vaccine that generates two types of immunity against the Epstein-Barr virus, a virus that almost all of us carry and which has been found to be a primary cause of diseases like multiple sclerosis and some can… Continue reading Groundbreaking Epstein-Barr virus vaccine may prevent MS→

Molecule patches leaks in blood-brain barrier to prevent MS or Alzheimer’s

Posted on June 21, 2023 by Michael Irving

A new study has identified promising molecules that could help patch up leaks in the blood-brain barrier

Being the control center of the body, your brain needs strong security against circulating pathogens or toxins. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) performs this vital function, but it can become “leaky.” Now, scientists at Stanford have identified therapeutic molecules that could help patch it up, to potentially prevent neurological diseases.
