Nature - Preliminary results from a small trial offer the clearest evidence yet that the brain disease’s progression can be slowed.

Nature Reviews Neurology, Published online: 11 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41582-025-01104-8This Perspective article explores the efficacy of multimodal lifestyle interventions to tackle the rising incidence of dementia in low- and middle-income countries. The authors discuss a contextual adaptation of the Finnish FINGER trial, Africa-FINGERS, which is pioneering a culturally relevant, multidomain approach to dementia risk reduction for African settings.

Unlike cortical progenitors, ventral telencephalic progenitors retain the ability to generate diverse neuron types during neurogenesis. Here, the authors show that ventral telencephalic progenitor mat...

Sydnor et al. developed a new tractography atlas of thalamocortical structural connections and applied it to three youth samples. They uncovered coordinated development between thalamic connectivity a...

The autonomic nervous system has long been viewed as a simple motor system in brain-to-body signalling. In this review, Wang and colleagues highlight diversity within autonomic neurons and their dynam...

Experimental treatment could offer a safer, cheaper alternative to CAR T cell therapies for disorders such as lupus.

Exploring arguments for and against extending the 14-day time limit for human embryo research.

Nature - The theft probably helps the cells to spread around the body, and preventing it could provide a path to treatment, researchers say.

Bipaternal human children, though, are still far away

Nature - Research across science and medicine will probably shrink at one of the world’s most elite universities amid a new political reality.

An RNA codon-expansion strategy enables incorporation of non-canonical amino acids into proteins of interest orthogonally to existing methods by inserting pseudouridine codons into specific mRNA transcripts and using an engineered decoder tRNA.
