Dark Galaxies, Fuzzy Dark Matter, and an Alzheimer’s Breakthrough (EP. 28)

Dark Galaxies, Fuzzy Dark Matter, and an Alzheimer’s Breakthrough (EP. 28)

Hosted by Lester Nare and Krishna Choudhary, this episode has two main stories: an astrophysics update on a candidate “dark galaxy” in the Perseus Cluster (a halo that’s ~99.9% dark matter), and a major Alzheimer’s mechanism paper tracing how exercise protects the brain by repairing the blood–brain barrier—with an actionable drug-like path already emerging.


Summary


Candidate dark galaxy — Hubble + Euclid stacking and globular clusters reveal an ultra-faint halo that could test missing satellites and the cusp–core problem (and even “fuzzy dark matter”).

Exercise → Alzheimer’s mechanism — UCSF links a liver enzyme (GPLD1) to BBB repair via TNAP regulation, plus an oral TNAP inhibitor (SBI-425) that mimics the effect in mice.

Rundown — Rubin Observatory’s real-time alert engine, AI-accelerated magnet discovery, a climate-corrected Easter Island history, and the Boba-Kiki effect in baby chicks.
