Diagnosing Alzheimer's is time-consuming, invasive, and expensive—but a new blood test could change all that. 🩸 Scientists have recently developed a new testing tool that, in trials, has been more successful at detecting Alzheimer's than doctors themselves. If successfully applied at a primary care level, the new test could revolutionize how we treat Alzheimer’s. However, some doctors are cautioning restraint, noting that the results observed in early trials might not be replicated among the general patient population.

Collagen, the most abundant protein in our bodies, supports our skin, hair, nails, and joints. But as we age, our collagen production declines, and wrinkles and sagging can become consequences that many seek to prevent through supplements. Despite the $2 billion market for collagen supplements, evidence of their effectiveness remains limited. Though some studies suggest they have benefits, are there more reliable alternatives?

Emerging science suggests that the effects of trauma could be genetically passed down from one generation to another. “If you feel you have been affected by a very traumatic, difficult, life-altering experience that your mother or father has had, there’s something to that,” says Rachel Yehuda, professor of psychiatry and neuroscience of trauma at Mount Sinai in New York. Her research points to a small epigenetic “signal” that a life-altering experience “doesn’t just die with you,” she says. “It has a life of its own afterward in some form.” Learn more about the latest scientific research into inherited trauma: https://lnkd.in/eUjYFAtZ
