Researchers turned ordinary brain cells into plaque-clearing machines, reducing Alzheimer's amyloid by half in mice with one treatment.
A small trial found tocilizumab, an anti-inflammatory drug, cut depression remission rates better than SSRIs by targeting IL-6, not brain chemistry.
Scientists used advanced brain imaging to reveal how ketamine reshapes key receptors in specific brain regions to quickly lift severe depression.
Blocking the protein PTP1B boosted memory and cleared brain plaque in mice, with potential links to diabetes and obesity treatment.
A molecule called OLE restores microglia's protective function, reducing amyloid plaques and improving memory in animal models.
