Scientists have identified nine existing medicines that may help slow neurological damage associated with childhood dementia. Using patient-derived brain cells and AI-assisted drug screening, researchers found that several already-approved medicines improved cellular function in laboratory models of Sanfilippo syndrome. The discovery could open a potentially faster route toward clinical testing, although human trials are still needed.
The European Space Agency’s Euclid telescope has identified the oldest quasars ever observed, dating back just 670 million years after the Big Bang. The discovery could transform our understanding of black hole formation and the evolution of the universe.
