This Personality Change is a Possible Warning for Alzheimer’s
The personality changes came ahead of more obvious behavioural changes linked to Alzheimer’s. Increases in neuroticism may help to predict the onset of Alzheimer’s, new research finds.

Two-shot Cancer ‘Vaccine’ Shows Success in Attacking Tumors in Mice
A two-shot cancer “vaccine” has, according to new research, been wildly successful at attacking tumors in mice. A clinical trial using the treatment on human patients is now getting underway. The method works by using two agents to reinvigorate cancer-fighting T cells directly in the tumor. One of the agents amplifies the activation of the T cells, while the other … Continue reading
