One gene, two diseases: Study reveals opposing dementia and cancer risks

Researchers at the University of Kentucky Sanders-Brown Center on Aging have uncovered evidence that a single genetic variant may influence the risk of two of the diseases people fear most—dementia and cancer—but in opposite ways.

Novel biomarker beats leading diagnostic blood test at predicting Alzheimer's progression

Small loops of genetic material may be strong indicators of imminent Alzheimer's disease (AD) symptoms. In a new study published in Nature Medicine, researchers showed that elevated levels of certain circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the blood nearly tripled patients' risk of developin

BCG vaccine may rewire brain immunity, shift Alzheimer's markers over 12 months

New research led by Mass General Brigham investigators suggests that the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine—which is delivered through the skin to prevent tuberculosis—may remodel the human brain's immune environment, offering a potential biological explanation for previously

Human red blood cells form without central 'hub' seen in mouse models, upending understand

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that one of the body's most fundamental biological processes—how red blood cells are made—works differently in humans than previously thought, according to a new study published in Nature Genetics. The findings overturn decades of

Two prostate cancer mutations reveal opposite responses to ferroptosis therapy

A new study by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has identified genetic factors that determine whether prostate cancers are susceptible to a type of cell death known as ferroptosis. These findings, published in Nature Communications, could help guid

Genetic information helps predict the onset and progression of glaucoma

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible visual impairment worldwide. Because the disease often progresses without symptoms for years, many patients are diagnosed only after permanent damage to the optic nerve has already occurred. Earlier detection through targeted screenin
