حجب بروتين قد يبطئ انتشار باركنسون في الدماغ

حدد باحثون بروتينًا يسمى GPNMB قد يساعد مرض باركنسون على الانتشار داخل الدماغ عبر استجابة مناعية مرتبطة بتلف الخلايا العصبية. وأظهرت تجارب مبكرة أن أجسامًا مضادة تمنع هذا البروتين أوقفت انتقال العملية السامة بين الخلايا، ما يفتح مسارًا علاجيًا محتملًا.

  • إذا تأكدت النتائج في دراسات أوسع، فقد يصبح استهداف GPNMB نهجًا جديدًا لإبطاء تطور باركنسون بدل الاكتفاء بتخفيف الأعراض.
  • A newly identified protein called GPNMB may play a major role in helping Parkinson’s disease spread through the brain. Researchers discovered that immune cells release the protein in response to damaged neurons, creating a vicious cycle that speeds up brain cell degeneration. In early experiments, antibodies that blocked GPNMB stopped the toxic process from spreading between cells.

Why middle age is becoming a breaking point in the U.S.

A new international study finds that middle-aged Americans are lonelier, more depressed, and experiencing worse memory and health than earlier generations. Researchers say growing financial strain, weaker social supports, and chronic stress may explain why the U.S. is falling behind other wealthy nations.

Scientists mapped every neural connection in a fruit fly and found a surprise

A groundbreaking new connectome maps every neural connection in an adult fruit fly’s central nervous system, creating an unprecedented view of how the brain and body work together. The findings suggest that complex behaviors emerge from distributed local circuits rather than a single central controller, offering new clues about intelligence, movement, and brain function.
