According to this research, MHFRT delivers higher doses of radiation per session over a shorter period. “We believe these data strongly support that isodose MHFRT should become the preferred standard of care MHFRT regimen for prostate cancer,” said Dr. Amar Kishan.

Groundbreaking pathway found to combat Alzheimer's

Researchers at University of Southern California Stem Cell identified a novel approach to eliminate toxic tau protein buildup in brain cells, a major contributor to Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative disorders.  The study, published in the journal Neuron, demonstrates how suppressing a specific gene can activate cellular cleaning mechanisms to remove harmful tau proteins. The research team conducted experiments using laboratory mice and human brain organoids — miniature lab-grown brain-like structures — to investigate the relationship between the neurotransmitter glutamate and tau accumulation. Glutamate, while essential for normal brain function, including memory and mood regulation, can promote a toxic buildup
