NIH researchers discovered that a novel class of antibodies that binds to a previously untargeted portion of the malaria parasite could lead to new prevention methods. The most potent of the new antibodies was found to provide protection against malaria parasites in an animal model. The researchers say antibodies in this class are particularly promising because they bind to regions of the malaria parasite not included in current malaria vaccines, providing a potential new tool for fighting this dangerous disease.

Scientists have discovered that not all cell types in the brain age in the same way. They found that some cells, such as a small group of hormone-controlling cells, may undergo more age-related changes in genetic activity than others. The NIH-supported study results support the idea that some cells are more sensitive to the aging process and aging brain disorders than others.

Distinct differences in brain structures between adolescents who used substances before age 15 and those who didn't were found in a new NIH-supported study. Some of these differences seemingly existed before any substance use, pointing to the role brain structure may play in substance use risk. https://bit.ly/4gZ75Mh #HealthResearch #AdolescentHealth #neuroscience
Brain structure differences are associated with early use of substances among adolescents
