THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Lancaster University have developed RI-AG03, a peptide inhibitor, that in preclinical studies PREVENTED the build-up of harmful Tau proteins in the brain, which are believed to be a key driver of Alzheimer’s disease. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

The intense summer heat in Japan usually starts to ease by mid August, but it is continuing well into September. The forecast in Kumamoto tomorrow is 38°C! It is ruining the fruit and vegetable crops and killing the fish. This news program says the extreme heat may continue for another month. 🧪⚒️🌊
