NU-nine Drug Trial: Potential Alzheimer's Prevention

Northwestern University scientists unveil NU-nine, an experimental drug targeting Alzheimers root causes, potentially stopping the disease before symptoms appear. Invented by Richard Silverman, the same mind behind Lyrica, NU-nine aims to prevent neuron-damaging cascades through simple biomarkers like blood tests. Initially approved for ALS trials, NU-nine is now being tested in Alzheimers models, with plans for longer studies to track memory, neuron health, and symptom development. As we strive for brain health advancements, maintaining a peaceful nighttime routine remains essential. Checkout Solipillow.com

    El Nopal bakeries, cherished Chicago institutions for over six decades, have returned in a new exhibit at the Chicago History Museum. The star attraction?
