A potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease? This agent, 15-PGDH, was discovered from studies looking at the blood-brain barrier, and is not dependent on amyloid abnormalities. It seems to be safe in mouse models. Existing approved treatments for Alzheimer's disease shrink the brain, which is not a desirable outcome, especially for dementia. Hopefully this one won't.
Another paper found that abnormalities in amyloid-β 42 peptide (Aβ42) and tau protein may affect systemic processes, affecting sensory neurons in general, and promoting accelerated aging.
MIT researchers have developed a membrane that can separate different species of crude oil components, potentially making distillation obsolete.

Portland is the laughingstock of the country. The City Council spent money on consultants to function as a council. Like why did you run for office in the first place if you don't have a clue. I knew this would be a problem. Portland's governance is so large that nobody does anything effectively and no one takes ownership of a problem. So nothing gets done.
And now we are seeing women giving birth on the streets. A city in decline. People live like wild animals in the city now.
Also, the Rose Festival might finally end. We can't have nice things anymore. But taxes will still increase. Because Dems still need money.
Oregon is weak in elementary math education. Yeah, we knew that. But more money has to go to support teachers' pensions.

Khanh Pham and Lisa Reynolds are not done doing damage. Now they want to scrap private insurance and mandate universal healthcare. Very bad move, initiated by the "healthcare is a right" faction. Which it is not.
