United Neuroscience using endobody vaccines against Alzheimers

United Neuroscience (UNS) endobody vaccines train the body to develop its own defense against agents of chronic disease. Vaccines have been one of the most effective and impactful medicines in history. Vaccines historically target exogenous pathogens outside the body associated with infectious diseases, and there are now over a dozen infectious diseases that are preventable …

We have molecular structure of telomerase which could accelerate antiaging results

Researchers have the molecular structure of telomerase. This should speed up the discovery of the best activators and inhibitors of telomerase. Good activators of telomerase has been shown to boost the lifespan of mice by 20%. Nature – Cryo-EM structure of substrate-bound human telomerase holoenzyme The enzyme telomerase adds telomeric repeats to chromosome ends to …

Air pollution deaths at 7 million per year are like unending WW2 scale deaths

Air pollution levels remain dangerously high in many parts of the world. New data from WHO shows that 9 out of 10 people breathe air containing high levels of pollutants. Updated estimations reveal an alarming death toll of 7 million people every year caused by ambient (outdoor) and household air pollution. This is World War …

Gene APOE4 causes Alzheimers disease in humans and a fix has been created

Researchers have found differences in how Alzheimers disease originates and develops in mice and humans. They determined which gene causes Alzheimers in humans and have developed a fix for it. Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease aren’t the same. Dementia is an overall term used to describe symptoms that impact memory, performance of daily activities, and communication …

Gene therapy for common blood disorders

In a landmark study that could lead to new therapies for sickle cell anaemia and other blood disorders, UNSW Sydney-led researchers have used CRISPR gene editing to introduce beneficial natural mutations into blood cells to boost their production of foetal haemoglobin. The research solves a 50-year-old mystery about how these mutations – which are naturally …

Recording memory patterns and feeding back can boost memory by up to 37% in Alzheimers patients

Scientists at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and the University of Southern California (USC) have demonstrated the successful implementation of a prosthetic system that uses a person’s own memory patterns to facilitate the brain’s ability to encode and recall memory. Advanced Lifelogging seems needed to support memory boosting. Most Healthy early lifelogging adopters found it …

Microscopic view into the living tissue corrects mistaken understanding of 20% of the body

Standard methods to slice and fix tissues for close-up exams end up draining the interconnected chambers. The collagen-based supports around those spaces then collapse and stick together, creating the appearance of a dense, supportive tissue. Looking at the tissues live show that they are fluid filled and act as shock absorbers and have different function. …
