🔬 Cancer Is Hijacking Your Nervous System — And Scientists Just Caught It in the Act
from 🎙️ Science News Daily | Peer Review'd · host Peer Review'd
Researchers at the University of Oklahoma have uncovered a disturbing new survival trick used by one of the deadliest forms of breast cancer — and it involves recruiting your own immune system against you. Meanwhile, a Mayo Clinic team has identified a protein that acts like a kill switch on the immune cells designed to fight cancer, with major implications for next-generation CAR-T therapies. A landmark Alzheimer's study using a rare human brain specimen offers some of the most direct evidence yet that clearing amyloid plaques actually protects neurons — not just on paper, but in practice. On the lifestyle front, new research suggests your daily routine and midlife movement habits may be quietly shaping how sharp your mind stays decades from now. Plus, scientists have found a surprising new use for over a thousand Starlink satellites — and it has nothing to do with the internet.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
