Over 10% of Germans Diagnosed with Depression in 2022: A Rising Trend
AOK health insurance's 2024 study reveals that over 9.5 million Germans (more than 10%) were diagnosed with depression in 2022, a rising trend disproportionately affecting women; research links this to genetic predisposition and an enlarged brain salience network.

Dark Microglia's Toxic Lipid Production Implicated in Alzheimer's
A new study reveals that "dark microglia," a type of brain cell discovered in 2016, produces toxic lipids that damage neurons and contribute to Alzheimer's disease; inhibiting this mechanism in mice prevented neurodegeneration, suggesting a potential therapeutic target.
