A prodrome is a premonitory or warning phase of a medical problem yet to come. It’s an early stage of signs or symptoms that happens before the onset of the typical symptoms.“Prodrome for MS has been discussed and studied more in recent years; 10 or 15 years ago, we didn’t necessarily think of MS as having a prodrome,” says Otallah.There is now more evidence to suggest that there may be some symptoms that occur in people well before their first demyelinating event or MS diagnosis, he says.Cognitive impairment is one potential symptom of prodrome that has been identified, says Otallah,…
Scientists reach for new scalable technologies to capture whole transcriptomes within single cells.Image credit:iStock, Alena Butusava Researchers increasingly turn to single-cell sequencing to answer a range of biological questions, with published single-cell data increasing year over year. As its popularity rises, so does the need for technologies that advance scalable single-cell studies. In February 2025, Parse Biosciences launched the Evercode™ WT Penta and Penta 384, a whole transcriptome single-cell analysis platform that enables researchers to profile five million cells and 384 samples in a single run.“A few years ago, it would be pretty typical to analyze tens of thousands of cells.…

Credit: Dr_Microbe / iStock / Getty Images Plus A study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that targeting the PI31 protein can prevent the degeneration of neurons, restore lost synaptic function, and significantly extend the lifespan of mice with neurodegenerative disorders. This discovery could unlock a novel strategy to prevent neurodegeneration as we age and treat a wide range of neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. The PI31 protein is essential for the function of the proteasome, which is responsible for clearing out proteins that are dysfunctional or no longer needed. While this “waste disposal”…
The benefits are likely linked to complimentary mechanisms of action, including an impact of the probiotics on the integrity of the gut barrier and immune function, and the anti-inflammatory and anabolic effects of omega-3s, stated researchers from Shiraz University (Iran), Increnovo LLC (USA) and Waseda University (Japan).“These findings highlight the potential of targeting the gut–muscle axis as part of a comprehensive strategy to optimize responses to high-intensity training,” they wrote in the journal Nutrients. “Incorporating synbiotic supplementation into personalized training programs may provide athletes with a practical means of enhancing explosive performance and muscular endurance while supporting recovery and overall…
Once a top hedge fund manager on Wall Street, Jason Karp’s life was defined by speed, stress, and success. But in his early 20s, things took a sharp turn. Despite thriving professionally, his health was deteriorating. Doctors handed him grim diagnoses: multiple autoimmune conditions and a degenerative eye disease that would supposedly leave him blind by 30.
