Researchers Discover Link Between Alzheimer’s, BMI

A recent study conducted by researchers from Ohio State University has found that a higher BMI doesn’t necessarily increase an individual’s chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease. This is despite the fact that obesity in mid-life has been associated with a higher risk of Alzheimer’s. For their research, the scientists compared data obtained from two groups of individuals who had been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment. One group’s disease didn’t worsen while the other’s condition progressed to Alzheimer’s within two years. The scientists focused on two factors: various genetic variants that have been linked to Alzheimer’s and body mass index (“BMI”).…

New Immunotherapy May Improve Stroke Recovery

A recent study conducted by neurologists from the School of Medicine at the University of Pittsburg has discovered that immune cells that amass in the brain following a stroke help boost neural functions, as observed in mice models. The research, which was reported in the “Immunity” journal, showed that regulatory T cells, which are specialized immune cells, help boost functional recovery following a stroke. The researchers stated that boosting the regulatory T cell levels through the use of an antibody complex treatment enhanced cognitive and behavioral functions in mice following a stroke.
