Findings from a phase 1 trial showed that a single dose of an experimental drug (Lepodisiran) produced greater than 94% reductions in blood levels of lipoprotein(a), a key driver of heart disease risk. @JAMA_current

One of the dominant theories for the causes of Alzheimer’s has been cast into doubt following unsuccessful Phase III testing involving the antibody gantenerumab, which intended to improve cognitive function in sufferers.

Alois Alzheimer’s theory that the disease was potentially caused by ‘clumps’ of amyloid beta proteins. During the trials, gantenerumab did significantly reduce these clumps, but failed to preserve cognitive abilities.

The latest tests casts further doubt on the amyloid hypothesis, with anti-amyloid drug testing slowly increasing in prominence, albeit based on limited evidence.

Researchers have implanted tiny sensors to record activity in the brain's speech motor cortex that signals to speech muscles, aiming to predict the sounds a person wishes to make.

One day perhaps some people unable to speak with neurological diseases might communicate through thought alone.

Our immune system consists of around 1.8 trillion cells, according to the journal @PNASNews:

According to @ScienceAlert, In an average adult man, immune cells collectively weigh about 2.6 pounds – which is the same as one pineapple, or six hamsters.

Scientist Jazmin Aguado-Sierra has created a world-first visualisation of her own heart, which is accurate down to a cellular level.

Technology of this kind could perhaps be used to forecast an individual’s health, and might allow doctors to predict the effects of a drug which are specific to each patient.

The model will go on display at the Science Museum this week.
