A new study suggests that even low levels of physical activity could protect the brain from Alzheimer’s disease – but not in the way scientists expected. The researchers tracked almost 300 older adults with early brain signs of Alzheimer’s for nine to 11 years using pedometers. They found that physical activity didn’t reduce the toxic amyloid plaques that most Alzheimer’s treatments now target.

Researchers at Georgia State University have identified two modified metabolite-derived compounds, MLY2 and MLY8, that outperform their precursor molecule in experimental models of ulcerative colitis. Researchers at Georgia State University have identified two experimental compounds that could provide a starting point for developing new treatments for ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that remains difficult to manage in some patients.
