How to Safely Taper Benzodiazepines According to Patient Response: New Guideline

Long-term, regular use of benzodiazepines is common and can lead to physical dependence and withdrawal when the dose is reduced or the medication is abruptly stopped. However, evidence has been lacking on the best tapering methods for the medications commonly prescribed for uses including sleep disorders and anxiety. Additionally, patients have different reactions to the

Laminin-411 peptide shows promise for central nervous system myelin repair

by Institute of Science Tokyo edited by Gaby Clark, reviewed by Andrew Zinin Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have identified laminin-411 and A4G47, a synthetic peptide derived from the E8 domain of laminin-411 protein, as the key factors in the maturation of oligodendrocytes and subsequent myelin formation. This finding can greatly improve cell culture-based investigations of myelin

The mechanics of why we wrinkle as we age have been revealed

By Paul McClure July 24, 2025 Research has revealed why wrinkles form as we age Depositphotos original extended using GenAI Why do wrinkles form as we age? A new study has revealed that aging skin stretches more sideways under tension, causing it to buckle – like Silly Putty – into deeper, straighter wrinkles. And it all
