Scientists have found a method to specifically remove the ‘detrimental‘ immune cells responsible for autoimmune skin diseases, preserving the ‘beneficial’ cells. This breakthrough may pave the way for more precise and enduring treatments for conditions such as psoriasis and vitiligo. In our skin, there are specialized immune cells designed to safeguard against infections, combat cancer,

Recent studies indicate that certain personality traits can elevate the likelihood of being diagnosed with dementia, while others can mitigate this risk. Notably, there is no uniform correlation between personality and brain pathology associated with dementia. The results propose that addressing specific personality traits through interventions in earlier stages of life could potentially decrease the
