A reanalysis of data from a previous study identified a difference between people with low and high levels of inflammatory biomarkers. The cognitive performance of people with high levels of inflammation improved after they consumed anthocyanin supplements [1]. Inflammation and dementia Dementia is a complex disorder that involves multiple biological processes, including neuroinflammation. Previous research...
Tricky balance
A researcher publishing in Biogerontology has reviewed the literature on the relationship between cellular senescence and the immune system, finding that dwindling immune surveillance allows senescent cells to accumulate. The immune system needs to be deadly On the cellular level, the bodies of vertebrates are brutal police states. Immune cells report, attack, and kill anything...

A new study suggests that an anti-inflammatory diet can significantly reduce the risk of dementia and delay its onset even in people with existing cardiometabolic diseases [1]. Is it too late to lower the risk? Cardiometabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, heart attack, and stroke, strongly contribute to the risk of developing dementia later...

Exercise may be able to remove senescent cells only if acute inflammation is allowed to occur, according to a new study published in Aging. Inflammation and senescence Inflammation is known to be a critical part of aging, and its chronic accumulation has been labeled as a hallmark of aging: inflammaging. The SASP, the cocktail of...
Astrocytes
In an in-depth paper in Nature, researchers have explained how astrocytes, helper cells that provide crucial brain functions, epigenetically remember things in a way that encourages inflammation. Traumatized cells Long-lived immune cells, including T cells and B cells, can remember foreign pathogens [1]. This is why people can become immune to diseases after catching them...
Neurons
A recent preprint paper from researchers at Sachi Bio has described how this company's technology can be used to alleviate brain inflammation in a mouse model. The problem of tau Along with the infamous amyloid beta, tau is well-known as a pathological factor in both Alzheimer's and regular aging [1]. The accumulation of tau with...
