Caffeine's potential to slow brain aging, the use of CAR-T therapy for autoimmune diseases, and the impact of the Trump administration on science are among the latest developments in science and health, according to recent reports. Other notable stories include the use of books to help children with language delays and the ongoing evolution of Wikipedia in the age of AI.
A study of 130,000 people suggested that moderate caffeine intake might reduce the risk of dementia, according to Nature News. This research indicates a potential link between coffee consumption and slower brain aging.
In other medical news, a type of personalized cell therapy, CAR-T cells, provided relief for children and adolescents with autoimmune disorders, as reported by Nature News. The therapy seemed to reset the immune system and ease severe symptoms in the eight children and adolescents studied.
Meanwhile, a report in Phys.org highlighted the use of books as discussion prompts to help children with language delays. The article noted that a significant percentage of children starting school in England lack the necessary skills for success, with language deficits being a major factor.
The Trump administration's impact on science was also a subject of discussion. Vox reported that the administration's science policy is shaped by a coalition of players, not solely by anti-science ideologues.
Finally, Vox also covered the "renaissance" of Wikipedia in the age of AI. The article explored how the online encyclopedia is being impacted by the use of AI bots training on its content. The future of Wikipedia's human-powered identity is now being questioned.
