A toxic Alzheimer’s protein could be the key to fighting cancer

A surprising link between Alzheimer’s and cancer reveals that amyloid beta, a harmful protein in the brain, actually empowers the immune system. It strengthens T-cells’ energy production, helping them fight cancer more effectively. By restoring fumarate levels or transplanting healthy mitochondria, researchers may be able to rejuvenate aging immune cells. These findings could inspire a new generation of treatments that target both cancer and age…

People who survive cancers are less likely to develop Alzheimer’s – this might be why

Dragon Images/Shutterstock.comCancer and Alzheimer’s disease are two of the most feared diagnoses in medicine, but they rarely strike the same person. For years, epidemiologists have noticed that people with cancer seem less likely to develop Alzheimer’s, and those with Alzheimer’s are less likely to get cancer, but nobody could explain why. A new study in mice suggests a surprising possibility: certain cancers may actually send a protective sig…

The Biological Paradox: How Cancer Cells May Hold the Key to Preventing Alzheimer’s Disease

A startling inverse relationship between cancer and Alzheimer’s disease has emerged from decades of epidemiological research, suggesting that the biological mechanisms protecting against one condition may increase susceptibility to the other. This paradox, long observed but poorly understood, is now driving a new wave of scientific investigation that could fundamentally reshape our understanding of aging, cellular regulation, and neurodegenerati…
