In efforts to beat Alzheimer’s disease, researchers are looking at existing drugs that could tackle the condition, and a new study identifies two promising candidates that are currently used to treat cancer. Already approved by regulators in the US – meaning potential clinical trials for Alzheimer’s could start sooner – the drugs are letrozole (usually used to treat breast cancer) and irinotecan (usually used […]

A massive, 24-year-long study of more than 1.2 million children provides reassurance to parents around the world. The research has found no compelling evidence that childhood vaccines lead to autism, asthma, or dozens of other chronic disorders. Researchers in Denmark examined the safety of a specific vaccine ingredient – aluminum salts – which, despite frequent debunking, remains a common

Around a Sun-like star just 1,300 light-years away, a family of planets has been seen in its earliest moments of conception. Astronomers analyzed the infrared flow of dust and detritus left over from the formation of a baby star called HOPS-315, finding tiny concentrations of hot minerals that will eventually form planetesimals – the ‘seeds’ around

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) may play a role in mental health disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression, according to a new study. Experts have long noted links between these psychiatric disorders and certain viral infections, but direct evidence of the viruses inside human brains is lacking. In the brain’s protective lining, however, the new study found traces of 13 different

Key Takeaways: ________ Evidence of black hole remnants from previous universes may be hiding in the cosmic microwave background. Recent research suggests that black holes from a prior universe might have left detectable imprints in our own universe’s cosmic microwave background (CMB). This concept is rooted in a fascinating theory called “conformal cyclic cosmology” (CCC),

Emergency vaccination during outbreaks of diseases like cholera, Ebola and measles have over the past quarter-century reduced deaths from such illnesses by nearly 60 percent, according to a new study. A similar number of infections are also believed to have been prevented, while billions of euros have been generated in estimated economic benefit. The Gavi vaccine alliance,
