Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Identifies Enzyme to Slow Alzheimer's Memory Loss

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Identifies Enzyme to Slow Alzheimer's Memory Loss

Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York have discovered a potential new method to slow memory loss in Alzheimer's disease. The study, led by Professor Nicholas Tonks, focuses on the enzyme PTP1B, which has been found to contribute to memory decline in mice with Alzheimer's. The research suggests that reducing the activity of PTP1B can enhance the function of microglia, the brain's immune cells, in clearing amyloid-β plaques, which are protein build-ups associated with Alzheimer's. This discovery opens up a new avenue for treatment, as PTP1B is already known to play a role in metabolic conditions like obesity and type 2 diabetes, which are risk factors for Alzheimer's.

Finex Metals Secures Finnish Exploration Licence for Gold Project Expansion

Finex Metals Secures Finnish Exploration Licence for Gold Project Expansion

Finex Metals, a company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol FINX, has been granted the Kero mineral exploration licence by the Finnish Mining Authority. This licence is located 15 kilometers southeast of Agnico Eagle Mine’s Kittila Gold Mine, which is noted as Europe’s largest primary gold operation. The Kero site is characterized by gold associated with sulphide-rich quartz-carbonate veins, with mineralization open along strike and at depth. Finex plans to conduct diamond drilling to further explore these gold-bearing zones. The company is currently reviewing historical data and intends to implement a phased exploration program in 2026, focusing on target prioritization and initial diamond drilling in the latter half of the year. CEO Tero Kosonen emphasized the strategic importance of this licence as part of Finex's efforts to build a portfolio of royalty-free gold projects in northern Finland.

Lack of Transparency in Medical Institutions Impacts Patient Safety

Lack of Transparency in Medical Institutions Impacts Patient Safety

Prof. Mayer Brezis, a nephrologist and former director at Hadassah-University Medical Center, has highlighted cultural barriers as significant obstacles to patient safety in medical institutions. His grandson, Amit Brezis, died due to a missed heart defect that could have been detected with pulse oximetry at birth. This screening, which reduces infant mortality by a third, was not universally adopted in Israel until recently. Brezis argues that fear of legal consequences and institutional defensiveness prevent healthcare organizations from acknowledging and learning from errors, perpetuating a cycle of repeated mistakes.

Canada Shifts EV Policy Focus to Emissions Credits Over Mandates

Canada Shifts EV Policy Focus to Emissions Credits Over Mandates

Canada has shifted its electric vehicle (EV) policy from explicit sales quotas to a system based on fleet average emissions standards and open credit trading. This change allows for large volumes of low-cost EVs to enter the country, creating a market-driven approach to reducing emissions. The policy sets a blended emissions target for manufacturers, with EVs counting as zero emissions. The standards will tighten annually, encouraging manufacturers to increase their EV sales to meet compliance. This approach aims to drive capital towards low-emission solutions and create a predictable market environment.

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi Secures Landslide Victory in Japan's Snap Election, Strengthening US-Japan Alliance

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi of Japan has secured a sweeping majority in the recent parliamentary elections, as projected by national broadcaster NHK.

Takaichi, Japan's first female prime minister, called the snap election in January to solidify her party's position in parliament. Her leadership style, inspired by former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, has resonated with voters, particularly the younger demographic. The election took place amid severe weather conditions, with record snowfall affecting voter turnout and logistics.

Orange County Health Officials Report Second Measles Case Linked to Disneyland Visitor

Orange County Health Officials Report Second Measles Case Linked to Disneyland Visitor

Orange County health officials have confirmed a second case of measles in a person who visited Disneyland in January. This follows the first reported case just a week prior. The individual visited both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park on January 22, 2026. Health authorities have issued a warning that individuals present at these locations during the specified times may be at risk of developing measles within 7 to 21 days post-exposure. This marks the third measles case reported in Orange County this year, with Los Angeles County also reporting three cases. Health officials are advising those potentially exposed to check their immunity status with their healthcare provider and consider vaccination or immune globulin for prevention if exposure occurred less than seven days ago. Measles is a highly contagious viral illness that spreads through the air and direct contact with infectious droplets.

South Africa to Withdraw Troops from UN Peacekeeping Mission in Congo, Impacting Regional Stability

South Africa to Withdraw Troops from UN Peacekeeping Mission in Congo, Impacting Regional Stability

South Africa has announced its decision to withdraw its troops from the United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This decision comes after 27 years of involvement in the mission, during which South Africa has deployed over 700 troops. The move is part of a broader strategy to realign the resources of South Africa's armed forces. The decision was communicated to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. The withdrawal is set to be completed before the end of 2026. This development occurs amidst ongoing conflicts in the region, particularly involving the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels, who are seeking to establish control over parts of eastern Congo.

Study on Ancient Plankton Suggests Future Ocean Oxygen Levels May Rise

Study on Ancient Plankton Suggests Future Ocean Oxygen Levels May Rise

Researchers from the University of Southampton and Rutgers University have conducted a study analyzing fossilized plankton from the Arabian Sea, revealing that during a period of intense global warming 16 million years ago, the region had higher oxygen levels than today. This finding suggests that some of the world's oxygen-deprived oceans could regain higher oxygen levels in the future, despite ongoing global warming. The study highlights the role of strong monsoons, shifting ocean currents, and regional ocean forces in controlling oxygen levels, making future changes difficult to predict. The research was published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment.
