Alzheimer’s reversed in mice as scientists restore the brain’s ā€˜gatekeeper.’ Spanish and Chinese researchers have reversed Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice using nanoparticles that repair the brain’s protective barrier. The treatment cleared up to 60% of amyloid plaques within an hour and restored memory over months by ā€œremindingā€ the blood-brain barrier how to clear waste. Scientists say the approach could open new paths for treating dementia in humans. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/10/07/alzheimers-reversed-in-mice-under-breakthrough-treatment/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

@NanoRaptor ooooh a white touch bar!

@krzyzanowskim There's also a basic working importer for playgrounds here

@krzyzanowskim I've uploaded it to dropbox at the following link.

The 'Spotlight Importer.xctemplate' folder needs to go into "Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates/Project Templates/Base"

@krzyzanowskim is annoying that there used to be a MDImporter Xcode template which was removed in Xcode 9 for a template based on CSImportExtension which (as was confirmed today) has never worked on macOS.

Had to download Xcode 8 and extract the xctemplate files (surprisingly they still work in Xcode 16) because there’s definitely magic in them thar hills with MDImporter.

At least it’s now confirmed *by Apple* that it’s never worked.

Well that's a useful error message.

Man I dislike these transparent scrollbars in Xcode. Adds nothing useful and just clutters the view tremendously.
