Scientists have developed a new blood test that could spot Alzheimer’s earlier by detecting hidden changes in how proteins fold in the bloodstream. Alzheimer’s disease affects an estimated 7.2 million Americans age 65 and older, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. Current diagnostic approaches often focus on measuring the levels of two proteins—amyloid beta (Aβ) and […]

Stanford Scientists Uncover the Molecular Mistake That May Trigger Brain Aging
Scientists have identified a critical breakdown in the cellular machinery that produces proteins in aging brains. Aging and neurodegenerative disease can interfere with a cell’s ability to produce properly functioning proteins. This process, known as “proteostasis,” or protein homeostasis, keeps protein production and maintenance in balance. Brain cells appear especially vulnerable when this system begins […]
Scientists Discover Genetic Switch That Supercharges Cancer-Killing Immune Cells
Researchers have uncovered a new way to enhance the cancer-fighting ability of the immune system. All people naturally produce a growth factor known as IL-15 that plays an important role in protecting the body from cancer. This molecule helps stimulate the production and activity of immune cells that can quickly detect and destroy cancer cells […]
Scientists May Have Found a Way to Fix Green Hydrogen’s Biggest Problem
A new European project aims to reinvent green hydrogen without toxic PFAS or costly rare metals. Green hydrogen is widely viewed as a crucial piece of the global shift toward cleaner energy. However, producing it at scale still presents major economic and environmental challenges. One of the most promising methods, PEM (proton exchange membrane) electrolysis, […]

Scientists Just Made Light Do Something Once Thought Impossible
Physicists have recreated the Nobel Prize–winning quantum Hall effect using light, revealing that photons can follow the same strange quantum rules once thought exclusive to electrons. In the late 1800s, scientists discovered what is now known as the Hall effect. It occurs when an electric current passes through a material while a magnetic field is […]
