In yet another surprise attribute of the new class of obesity drugs, scientists have found that GLP-1 receptor agonists can also subdue brain inflammation, giving them a potential ‘superpower’ in the fight against Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: University of Toronto, Ozempic, GLP1, Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Inflammato
Tiny injected m-Torquers could magnetically treat Parkinson's disease
Posted by ArielTechGeek 285 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
When it comes to the treatment of severe Parkinson's disease, electrical deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a commonly used technique. It does have some serious drawbacks, however, which is why scientists are now looking to tiny wirelessly activated magnets instead.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: American Chemical Society, Yonsei University, Parkinson's Disease, Treatment, Brain

Multifunctional gel developed to treat solid cancer tumors & metastases
Posted by ArielTechGeek 354 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have developed a liquid gel that solidifies when injected into a solid tumor, is visible on a CT scan, and can slow-release cancer-fighting treatments. Using the gel in combination with immunotherapy improved survival in mice and affected distant, untreated tumors, suggesting it has potential as a therapy for metastatic cancers.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cancer, T
Promising cancer drug may effectively treat gout and heart disease
Posted by ArielTechGeek 370 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
There are a lot of research eyes on the development of Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) inhibitors for cancer treatment right now, with several drugs currently in clinical trials and at least one in late-stage Phase III testing. But University of Cambridge scientists thought they’d try a different tack – using a PLK1 inhibitor to subdue a bad actor in inflammatory diseases – and, as they expected, it wo
Targeted ultrasound changes brain function & could treat mental illness
Posted by ArielTechGeek 421 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A new study has found that using ultrasound to target specific areas of the brain causes functional changes that last for up to an hour. The findings pave the way for the development of non-invasive methods of treating mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Ultrasound, Brain, University of Plymouth
Bacteria-hunting viruses help diagnose and treat UTIs
Posted by ArielTechGeek 471 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Viruses may get a bad rap, but some of them can be helpful to fight off bacterial infections. Scientists at ETH Zurich have demonstrated a new way to use them to diagnose which bacteria is causing a UTI, and then launch a stronger attack against them.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Bacteria, Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, Viruses and Bacteria, Virus, Infections, ETH Zurich
New gene therapy lowers eye pressure to treat glaucoma
Posted by ArielTechGeek 566 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
The high eye pressure seen in glaucoma slowly leads to blindness. For some, the first-line treatment, eye drops, doesn’t work. Researchers have used gene therapy to develop a promising new way of treating the high eye pressure associated with glaucoma.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Glaucoma, gene therapy, Eye, Trinity College Dublin
Alexa vs Roomba: How children think we should treat intelligent tech
Posted by ArielTechGeek 571 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
With AI already a big part of everyday life and its involvement only bound to increase, researchers have turned to four- to 11-year-olds to ask how they think we should treat intelligent technology.Continue ReadingCategory: TechnologyTags: Artificial Intelligence, Children, ethics, Duke University
