Study in mice found that an early phase in the process of developing Alzheimer’s disease is a metabolic increase in a part of the brain called the hippocampus

Allergy study on 'wild' mice challenges the common hygiene hypothesis: mice with high infectious exposures from birth have the same, if not an even greater ability to develop allergic immune responses than 'clean' laboratory mice

Study indicates possible link between chronic stress, depression and Alzheimer’s disease: people (N= 44,447 ) aged between 18 and 65 with a previous diagnosis of chronic stress and depression were more likely than other people to be diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer’s disease

Cholesterol-lowering statins might protect patients with ulcerative colitis from developing and dying from colorectal cancer and it was also associated with a lower risk of death regardless of cause in patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease

Study explains how air pollution increases the risk of dementia: a very small increases in PM2.5 mean a 70% increased risk of developing dementia, partly due to an interaction between air pollution and homocysteine and methionine…

Researchers have studied if an internet-delivered emotion regulation therapy can reduce (82% reduction) self-harm in youth (13 to 17 years)

Researchers have identified neurons in the mouse brain that are involved in creating negative emotional states and chronic stress
