Gut microbes could protect us from toxic ‘forever chemicals’

Scientists have discovered that certain species of microbe found in the human gut can absorb PFAS – the toxic and long-lasting ‘forever chemicals.’ They say boosting these species in our gut microbiome could help protect us from the harmful effects of PFAS. PFAS have been linked with a range of health issues, including decreased fertility,

Higher anticholinergic use linked to faster decline in mobility and strength

by Justin Jackson, Phys.org edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Andrew Zinin   Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Kaiser Permanente Washington scientists report that higher cumulative anticholinergic exposure predicted a faster decline in gait speed and grip strength among older adults. Older adults frequently receive prescriptions for anticholinergic medications that interfere with acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter essential for memory and muscle activation,

Brain biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease can be detected as early as middle age

by University of Turku edited by Lisa Lock, reviewed by Andrew Zinin Credit: CC0 Public Domain A Finnish population study shows that signs related to Alzheimer’s disease may already be found in the brain in middle age. In the future, blood-based biomarkers associated with Alzheimer’s disease could allow earlier detection of the disease. This would allow preventive treatment
