DNA damage in neurons crucial for creating stable memories

Just as you can't make an omelet without breaking eggs, scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine have found that you can't make long-term memories without DNA damage and brain inflammation. Their surprising findings were published online today in the journal Nature.

Study reveals risk factors for faster aging in the brain

The researchers had previously identified a 'weak spot' in the brain, which is a specific network of higher-order regions that not only develop later during adolescence, but also show earlier degeneration in old age.

Study links long-term ADHD stimulant use to increased risk of cardiomyopathy

Young adults who were prescribed stimulant medications for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were significantly more likely to develop cardiomyopathy (weakened heart muscle) compared with those who were not prescribed stimulants, in a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session.

Multiomic approach boosts disease prediction accuracy beyond traditional methods

Study highlights the significant enhancement in predicting common diseases like heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's, and prostate cancer by integrating polygenic risk scores (PRSs) and gut microbiome scores with conventional risk factors, showcasing the potential of multiomic approaches in personalized medicine.
