| Allergy |
| Zyrtec vs. Claritin for treating allergies Zyrtec and Claritin are two popular antihistamines that can reduce allergy symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and rashes. Zyrtec contains cetirizine and Claritin contains loratadine. Their effects are very similar. We compare their effectiveness, side effects, and other antihistamines such as Allegra and Benadryl. |
| Alzheimer's / Dementia |
| Breakthrough: Researchers fix Alzheimer's gene In a first-of-its kind study, scientists use human neurons to study and correct the damaging effects of the APOE4 gene, a well-known genetic risk factor. |
| Biology / Biochemistry |
| How blood flow helps cancer to spread A study shows that blood flow plays a key role in helping migrating cancer cells to exit the bloodstream and seed secondary tumors elsewhere in the body. | Breakthrough: Researchers fix Alzheimer's gene In a first-of-its kind study, scientists use human neurons to study and correct the damaging effects of the APOE4 gene, a well-known genetic risk factor. |
