The choroid plexus (ChP): hydrodynamic bottleneck and ground zero for Alzheimer’s disease https://ejournals.uni-muenster.de/fnp/article/view/9368/9664 The Institute has advanced a Dual Sequestration Hypothesis (DSH) related to the protein signatures prevalent in Alzheimer’s disease. If the DSH is correct, the ChP should enlarge and become the sentinel hydrodynamic bottleneck as synthetic particles and their protein sequestrants accumulate. This […]

In the 1950s, my physicist father, Eugene Guth, met with Albert Einstein at the Institute for Advanced Study to discuss unified field theory. Einstein, it turned out, was more interested in the philosophy of physics than the math, a topic equally of interest to my dad. See https://michaelguth.com/family/HistoryofPhysicsbyEugeneGuth.htm Mathematics and philosophy of physics have relevance […]

New evidence provides a stronger link between chronic anxiety and future neurocognitive decline, demanding a re-evaluation of how we approach dementia prevention in clinical practice. A major updated meta-analysis, now available in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, confirms that anxiety is significantly associated with an increased risk of all-cause dementia. This extensive study, spanning nine […]

Beyond the BBB: Mapping the 2026 Milestone Year for Neuroscience. As we move through Q1, all eyes in the neuroscience community are on April 5, 2026—the PDUFA target action date for tividenofusp alfa (DNL310). If approved, tividenofusp alfa will be a watershed moment: the first commercial validation of a Transport Vehicle (TV) enabled enzyme replacement […]

Is the Next Breakthrough in “Chemo Brain” Treatment Hiding in Diabetes Research? For cancer survivors, the battle often doesn’t end with remission. Chemotherapy-Induced Cognitive Impairment (CICI)—widely known as “Chemo Brain”—remains one of the most debilitating long-term side effects of treatment, affecting memory, executive function, and attention. While the clinical impact is well-documented, therapeutic options remain […]

And we already know how small a role the cancer gene plays in the onset of cancer: there has been an 8-fold to 17-fold increase in the incidence of cancer in the last hundred years, but not even one-millionth of 1 percent of that increase can be related to genes.
Genes evolve over hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of years, which means that the so-called cancer gene has had no impact on the huge increase we’ve seen since 1900. Virtually 90 percent of the cancer that we see today cannot possibly have anything to do with genes.
