Dementia-causing substance turns into a therapeutic 'switch' with new Alzheimer's drug str

A substance that worsens dementia has become a "switch" that initiates treatment. KAIST researchers have developed a new therapeutic approach that uses hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), a reactive oxygen species that damages cells and increases in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's

Parkinson's patients undergoing deep brain stimulation show little to no cortical Lewy pat

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have found that patients with Parkinson's disease undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) show little to no Lewy pathology in the prefrontal cortex at the time of their DBS surgery, despite often having longstanding, clin

'Polypill' for heart failure cuts hospitalizations and ER visits by 60% in trial

A "polypill" combining three medications recommended to treat heart failure into a single daily dose proved far more effective for patients than taking the drugs separately, a randomized clinical trial led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers showed. The findings, publis

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

EHA: Adding Pirtobrutinib to Venetoclax-Rituximab ups progression-free survival in chronic

For patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), adding pirtobrutinib to venetoclax-rituximab (PVR) yields improved progression-free survival (PFS) compared to venetoclax-rituximab (VR), according to a study presented at the annual congress of the E
