Helicobacter pylori and Alzheimer's: An intriguing paradox is taking place!
An interesting article recently published in Science Advances returns a "two-faced Janus" image of Helicobacter pylori (Jin et al., 2025).
Virtual Sexual behavior and Its Cerebral and Microbiological Impacts on the Vaginal Microbiome
In a digital age where technology as virtual intimacy rises through VR sex and teledildonics, its impact on pleasure is clear—but what about vaginal health? Even without physical contact, digital sex may influence hormones, stress, and habits that subtly reshape the vaginal microbiome.
Age-Related Cellular Changes in the Hippocampus: Insights from Alzheimer’s Disease Models
Age-related changes in hippocampal cell populations include early synaptic loss in neurons, hyperactivation of microglia, reactive astrogliosis, and declining neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus.
Beyond the Headlines: Ensuring Integrity While Advancing Alzheimer’s Research
How do we ensure scientific integrity while advancing urgently needed treatments? Sensationalized media narratives aren’t the answer. While accountability is essential, we must also recognize the groundbreaking research that brings us closer to real solutions for Alzheimer’s and other diseases.
Exploring iPSC-Derived Cells in Alzheimer’s Research: From Mouse Models to Human Insights
The development of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has revolutionized research into Alzheimer’s disease (AD), particularly in understanding amyloid-beta (Aβ) pathology and immune system interactions.
Differential Dynamics of Beta-Amyloid in Healthy vs. Alzheimer’s Affected Brains
Beta-amyloid plays a dual role in brain health and disease. In the normal brain, it supports critical processes, while in AD, its dysregulation contributes to neurodegeneration. A nuanced understanding of these mechanisms is essential for developing effective treatments .
