In a preclinical study, Cedars-Sinai investigators found that boosting angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in key immune cells called microglia in the brain helped protect the brains of specially bred laboratory mice against Alzheimer's disease. Their findings, published in Nature Aging, could lead to cellular therapies to help treat the disease in humans.

  • medicalxpress.com language

Long overlooked in the field of musculoskeletal study, the tendon is a highly complex anatomical structure that triggers a dynamic but mysterious cellular response when it's injured. In a new study in Nature Communications, University of Rochester researchers for the first time trace and manipulate a key player in the healing process—the epitenon cells that form a thin outer layer surrounding the tendon—and show the remarkable similarity between these cells' activity in mice and humans. Their discovery may pave a path to new translational treatments for a common, highly consequential but poorly understood health issue.

  • medicalxpress.com language

People with the eating disorder ARFID (avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder) severely limit their food intake in terms of quantity or variety—leading to physical and psychological impairments. The condition usually begins in childhood and has so far been studied mainly in children or people who are underweight. Now, researchers at the University of Leipzig Medical Center have shown that adults with a higher body weight can also be affected. The findings have been published in the journal Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics.

A recent study led by a team of researchers at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine examining aging mice has provided what is believed to be the first evidence that amyloid beta protein—small, sticky protein fragment found in people with Alzheimer's disease (AD)—particles build up in the bone marrow of the animals, although not in the exact same form as the large, dense plaques found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease.

New fundamental research could help combat treatment-resistant leukemia and prevent relapses in children and adolescents. A group of scientists studied a certain type of leukemia and identified individual stem cell-like cells responsible for relapses in kids. They have also precisely characterized the molecular properties of these cells.

632. 'Virtual' socialization greatly eases isolation in older adults with dementia

More than 55 million people worldwide live with Alzheimer's and related dementias (ADRD), placing a heavy burden on families and health care. Social isolation is a major—and preventable—risk factor, linked to faster cognitive decline and even early death. ADRD symptoms often worsen isolation, creating a harmful cycle. As isolation grows, especially among older adults, effective social interventions are urgently needed.
