Scientists have discovered how harmful clumps inside brain cellsâlinked to diseases like ALS and Huntingtonâsâform, and found a way to break them apart. These sticky tangles of RNA develop inside tiny liquid-like droplets in cells and can linger long after their surroundings vanish. By introducing a special protein, the team could stop the clumps from forming, and with a custom-designed piece of RNA, they could even dissolve them. Read more âș

Lupus, a relentless autoimmune disease, appears to mellow with age. While it aggressively targets organs with runaway interferon signaling in younger adults, researchers at UCSF have found that the aging process itself may naturally tone down these immune system attacks. By comparing immune markers across age groups, the team discovered that lupus patients actually show decreasing inflammation as they grow older, in stark contrast to typical âinflammaging.â This surprising twist...
