Senescent brain immune cells secrete protein linked to cognitive decline
Brain-resident immune cells that have reached an old-age state called "senescence" secrete a protein that causes dysfunction in other brain cells, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine.
Protein secreted by immune cells may help drive brain aging
Brain-resident immune cells that have reached an old-age state called "senescence" secrete a protein that causes dysfunction in other brain cells, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine. The discovery sheds light on how aging impairs memory and cognition and makes the brain vulnerable to neurodegenerative disorders.
New research provides surprising evidence of how the brain's immune system is related to the aging process. Changes in certain immune cells could promote inflammatory processes and possibly contribute to the development of Alzheimer's.
Brain Immune Cells May Shift in Midlife
The brain does not age in exactly the same way from one decade to the next. New research suggests that an important change may begin around middle age, when the immune system inside a memory center of the brain starts to look different. The discovery could help scientists understand why getting older is such a […] The post Brain Immune Cells May Shift in Midlife appeared first on Knowridge Science Report.
