Structural changes in blood plasma proteins may reflect early signs of Alzheimer

A new type of blood test that analyses the folding of amino acids rather than their amounts may detect earliest biological signs of Alzheimer`s disease, according to a study. Analysis of blood plasma samples from over 500 individuals show that structural differences in three proteins, one involved in immune signalling, another in protein folding, and a third that transports fats in bloodstream -- are strongly linked to Alzheimer`s status, according to the findings published in the Nature Aging journal. Researchers, including those at The Scripps Research Institute, US, said structural differences of plasma proteins helped accurately distinguish cognitively normal individuals, from those with Alzheimer`s and mild cognitive impairment -- the preceding stage. The method could eventually al...

Changes to brain`s memory centre to prolonged pain influence depression: Study

Changes to one`s hippocampus, the brain`s memory centre, in response to prolonged pain could be an important factor for why some people develop depression in chronic pain, while others do not, according to a study. "Our findings suggest that the hippocampus acts as a control centre that helps the brain regulate emotional responses to long-term pain. Depression is not inevitable -- it depends on how this system responds over time," co-lead author Jianfeng Feng, professor of computer science at the UK`s University of Warwick, said. The study, published in the journal Science, analysed brain scans from population cohorts, including data from the UK Biobank, and a rodent model. People living with chronic pain but without depression tended to show a slightly larger volume of and an increased ...

Samsung Now Officially Supports AirDrop, but Only for These Devices

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Back in November, Google made a stunning announcement: Quick Share was suddenly compatible with Apple's AirDrop. At the time, the compatibility was limited to the Pixel 10, but no matter: Google had just made history, transforming the sharing features from platform-specific to cross-platform. While AirDrop and Quick Share have long been the most convenient ways to share large files between devices, it only worked if you and your friend were on the same OS. That limitation introduces some inconvenient friction, but, as support cross-platform expands, that friction is easing up. Google first announced plans for greater AirDrop compatibility in Quick Share last month, when Android Vice President of Engineering Eric Kay n...
