One of the largest bipolar disorder genetics studies to date (published in January): Using data from 158k+ cases and 2.8 million controls, researchers identified 298 genetic loci—a 4× increase over previous findings! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Three shocking facts about the epidemiology and growth of Parkinson’s disease we are discussing at the Fresco and Parkinson's Foundation World Summit today in Fiesole, Italy. 1. Parkinson’s is the world’s fastest-growing neurodegenerative disorder. Since 1990, the number of

One of my biggest goals is bridging neuroscience, biotech, and data science. It’s incredible how much potential there is to transform patient care when these fields work together. Excited to keep learning and sharing what I find. #Neuro #Biotech #DataScience

Prof. Cormac Ryan makes it clear and easy to understand how persistent or chronic pain differs from acute pain. He highlights that chronic pain must be treated differently by addressing more of the involved social and psychological factors.

It’s easy to get excited about early results, but without proper controls and rigorous study design, we risk mistaking practice effects or natural variability for real improvements. Looking forward to human randomized controlled trials to see if these findings hold up.

Thinking ahead, it would be valuable to map regional differences in air pollution composition to determine which specific pollutants are driving increased somatic mutations and telomere shortening. This could help pinpoint environmental factors contributing to cancer risk.

“Lilly stands against the use of its medicines for cosmetic weight loss.” I don’t blame the patients; I blame the often unqualified doctors who offer their patients a “quick fix” instead of proper care.

Anyone out there who really didn't like government overreach and control of our lives during lockdown but also accepts Covid was deadly and the vaccines worked? Or does that require too much thought?

Congratulations to Djenet Bousbaine on the 2025 NOSTER & Science Microbiome Prize! This award-winning study reveals how our skin's friendly bacteria could revolutionize immunization strategies. #Microbiome #Vaccines

Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing the future review looking at the role of non-medical professionals in clozapine use specifically with side effect management.

This article clearly explains the double-edged sword of standardized pharmaceutical pricing. It’s not just about lowering prices. It’s about balancing affordability with innovation, access, and long-term economic sustainability.

The more we uncover about the gut-brain axis and its regulatory power, the more exciting the therapeutic possibilities become! Studies like this pave the way for groundbreaking interventions.
