Efforts to reduce UK universities' dependence on China have in some cases stalled or are going backwards, according to a new report led by former universities minister . UK institutions benefit from the higher tuition fees paid by Chinese students, while China has also become an increasingly entrenched collaborator on research, as well as a key source of doctoral students crucial to the strength of the UK's research system, the paper says. Sudden disruption to student flows and collaboration because of further geopolitical tensions with China would therefore be highly damaging for the UK's knowledge economy.

MANILA, Philippines — Suspended Negros Oriental 3rd District Rep. Arnolfo Teves Jr. questioned Justice Secretary Jesus Crisipin Remulla as to how his lawyers could attend the preliminary investigation when they were not given a ‘proper invitation to the party'. Teves in another video uploaded on his Facebook page early Wednesday morning said that it would seem like gatecrashing a party if they proceed to the preliminary investigation proceedings without getting a subpoena. The lawmaker was referring to Remulla's warning to Teves' lawyers, saying on Tuesday that they should take the legal proceedings seriously as the defense panel supposedly failed to show up at the preliminary investigation on the same day.

(Boston)—The projected cost of caring for millions of individuals who have Alzheimer's disease (AD) worldwide will exceed a $1 trillion in a few years. In addition to the enormous health burden, patients and their caregivers experience financial, physical and psychological strain. A theory regarding repeated drug failure in AD is that patients undergoing experimental therapies are selected too late in the disease process. Therefore, it is important to identify patients at a high risk of progression to AD in early stages of the disease.
