Air Pollution Accelerates Cognitive Decline and Causes Brain Atrophy
A study published in 'The Lancet Healthy Longevity' found that long-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter in middle age (45-64) correlates with slower mental processing, impaired memory, and brain structural changes (reduced hippocampal volume, enlarged ventricles) in older adults...

SOX6 Protein Identified as Potential Therapeutic Target for Multiple Sclerosis
US scientists have discovered that a protein called SOX6 acts as a brake on myelin development and may be responsible for the inability of oligodendrocytes to repair damaged myelin sheaths in multiple sclerosis, offering a potential new treatment avenue.

Traumatic Brain Injury Significantly Raises Malignant Brain Tumor Risk
A study of 150,000 adults found those with moderate to severe traumatic brain injuries had a significantly higher risk of developing malignant brain tumors within 3-5 years compared to those with mild injuries or no history of TBI, prompting calls for long-term patient monitoring.

Rapid Spread of Asian Tiger Mosquito Across Europe Poses Growing Disease Risk
The Asian tiger mosquito, first found in Europe in 1979, is rapidly expanding its range northward, reaching 20 kilometers annually in France by 2024, driven by climate change and urbanization; this poses a risk of increased dengue and chikungunya virus transmission in Europe.
