NEWS: A new NIH-funded study suggests education can help mitigate long-term dementia risk. The scientists found that a United Kingdom education reform, which extended the minimum drop-out age by a year, reduced dementia incidence up to 50 years later. Study participants whose genetics placed them at higher risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and AD-Related Dementias benefited most from the reform.

NEWS: Early results of the first clinical trial to evaluate the drug invikafusp alfa (invika) in humans indicate the new treatment could manage cancers that have rebuffed other interventions, including standard immunotherapy. A study led by NIH researchers and others found that, at optimal doses, invika was well tolerated. The drug also halted disease progression in most patients and shrank tumors in others whose solid tumors had resisted standard immunotherapy. Read the full story ➡️ https://bit.ly/4zVvufb

The cerebellum is a part of the brain primarily known to be involved in movement and coordination. A new study conducted by NIH Stadtman Investigator Dr. Mark Wagner and his lab shows it could also play a pivotal role in learning and retaining new skills. Their findings shed new light on the cerebellum—quite literally—and could help explain how the brain reuses what it already knows to learn new tasks without getting its wires crossed.
