Over the past two years, Eisai and Biogen’s Leqembi and Eli Lilly’s Kisunla, both anti-amyloid antibodies, made history as the first real options to slow cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease. For years, amyloid plaques and tau tangles have been a primary target of Alzheimer’s disease research and drug development, but while affecting these proteins may yield some benefit, the illness continues to progress. Today, multiple therapeutics are in Phase III trials with other targets, suggesting that within the next few years it may become possible to treat Alzheimer’s via multiple pathways.

One of the greatest mysteries of the universe is the formation of the appropriately termed supermassive black holes, which can weigh up to a million times the mass of the sun and are found in the center of most galaxies.

The Lee Business School will offer fully online, module-based learning so students can pursue a master’s of business administration at their own pace. The option will debut in the spring.

The giant black hole at the center of our galaxy has an unexpected spin, which is likely to be the result of a merger with another large black hole. The merger almost certainly occurred with the smaller, but still technically supermassive, black hole at the heart of a galaxy that was swallowed by the Milky Way.

The rising number of unhoused and the lack of affordable housing are problems that many cities and states struggle with. It’s not an issue that comes up a lot when politicians hit the campaign trail, maybe because it seems so difficult, and because it’s controversial.
