In a single attack, Trump called for the dismissal of the Fed Chair
US President Donald Trump called the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s annual economic report a “complete mess”, arguing that oil prices were down, groceries were down and the US was getting “Rich on Tariffs”. “Oil prices are down, groceries are down, and US is getting RICH ON TARIFFS,” Trump tweeted. This comes after Powell said tariffs were “highly likely to generate at least a temporary rise in inflation”.
A senator from Maryland tried to visit a deported person
US Senator Chris Van Hollen, who’s on a trip to El Salvador, said that he plans to ask the embassy to ask for the return of 29-year-old Abrego Garcia. Garcia, a Salvadoran citizen, was deported last month despite being granted protections by a judge years earlier over concerns for his safety if he were to return there.
A lawmaker tried to visit a man who was deported
US Senator Chris Van Hollen, who has travelled to El Salvador to visit his cousin Abrego Garcia who was deported to US despite being in the country legally, said El Salvador’s government declined his requests for both. The Trump administration designated the Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO), which it claimed Abrego was a member of, as a crime gang.
Stem-cell therapies might be a hit in Japan
A group of US scientists has injected induced pluripotent stem cells, which are capable of becoming any cell in the body, into patients with Parkinson’s disease. The stem cells were injected to 18 sites across the putamen in both hemispheres, “to roughly fill up that region of the brain”. The stem cells have survived and are safe one year after surgery.
Stem-cell therapies may soon pay off for Japan
A study found that autologous transplantation of iPS-cell-derived DA progenitors is a safe andeffective regenerative therapy for patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Researchers used iPS-cell-derived progenitors, which are made from cells of the person in need of treatment, in a single case study. The results were seen in four individuals for whom those natural cornea-building stem cells had been depleted.
Trump wants to cut funding for PBS and NPR
The White House has said taxpayers have been subsidizing National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), which spread “radical, woke propaganda disguised as ‘news'”. It added that there is “trash” that passes as news and “intolerance of non-leftist viewpoints”. This comes in the wake of a House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee hearing in late March.
Reframe your views on Alzheimer’s disease
Scientists at the University of Antioquia in Medelln and San Francisco’s California University have found that a family member with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) may be protected against Alzheimer’s disease via a combination of model systems. Genetic testing revealed that PSEN1 was not her only mutation gene. The APOE4 gene is a major risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease.
Perspective changes on Alzheimer’s disease
Amyloid-Plasma, Taus and Neurologic inflammation are believed to be the main factors in Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new study. The study, published in Nature Communications, revealed that the inflammatory response by the immune system suppresses neuronal function and accelerates the formation of amyloid- plaques and tau. It found that the inflammation is linked to early plaque formation.
Alzheimer’s treatment can be used in the future
Scientists have found that brain tissue of people with Alzheimer’s disease, which had bulging lysosomes spilling waste into the brain, was made to contain shorter amounts of amyloid- plaques. Researchers said this might help reduce the risk of getting Alzheimer’s by changing the balance between short and longer strings of amyloid- plaques. Alzheimer’s is a neurodegenerative disease that causes memory loss.
He thinks the suggestion to return Abrego Garcia to the US is preposterous
US Attorney General Pam Bondi, who was part of the Oval Office meeting with Salvadoran President Andrés Bukele, said Abrego Garcia’s deportation wasn’t a “paper work issue”. She added that the US’ obligation only extended to providing a plane, but said Garcia was now in Salvadoran custody. Garcia’s lawyers dispute that he is a member of the MS-13 gang.
