A healthy diet may still make a difference for people at higher risk of dementia
Brain changes that can eventually lead to dementia may begin many years before anyone notices symptoms such as memory problems, missed appointments or difficulty finding words.

Faster aging, chronic disease linked to WTC responders with PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) remains a common condition affecting World Trade Center (WTC) responders 25 years after the attack on the Twin Towers. While the condition is considered mainly psychological, a new study sheds light on changes in the biological processes of W
AI support tool improves clinician decisions in real-world primary care trial
A large real-world clinical trial has found that a generative AI-powered support tool used to support frontline clinicians was safe and improved the quality of clinical decision-making, but did not significantly change short-term patient outcomes.
Intracellular mechanisms promote tumor survival during hypoxia
Northwestern Medicine scientists have, for the first time, described the underlying mechanisms that regulate how cells rapidly change gene expression in response to hypoxia, a key feature of many treatment-resistant tumors, according to a recent study published in Science Advance
Women with Parkinson's disease may show more Alzheimer's-related brain changes than men
Women with Parkinson's disease may be more vulnerable to Alzheimer's-related changes in the brain than men, according to new research presented at the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) Congress 2026. Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease frequently co-occur in older adult
Short-term changes in weather can increase demand for mental-health support
New research led by the University of East Anglia (UEA) suggests even modest, short-term changes in weather can have a measurable impact on NHS mental health service demand across England.
African genetic data could change how essential medicines are prescribed
The dosage information for drugs used in HIV treatment, malaria, cancer care, pain management and transplantation is largely based on data from European patients and fails to include vital information about how essential drugs work in diverse African populations. A Wits-led polic
A blood protein can flag dementia risk decades before symptoms appear
Forgetting the name of a loved one may be one of the first signs people notice of dementia, but it's rarely the first warning sign your brain gives. Changes in the brain that lead to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia start showing up decades before symptoms
Lower thresholds may explain rise in young people's service use for mental health issues
Lower thresholds for seeking medical help and/or changes in diagnostic practice, rather than a true increase in worsening psychological ill health, may help explain the rise in young people's primary care service use for mental health issues, suggest the findings of a large, long
