Scientists have found a way to make older brain stem cells in rats more youthful. The discovery
could lead to improved treatments for aging-related diseases that degrade the brain and nervous
system.
The research concerns oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs), which are a type of stem cell, or
immature cell. OPCs are essential for the...
New research compares intensive blood pressure control with standard blood pressure
management and finds that the former correlates with a lower chance of developing white matter
lesions later in life.
Numerous large, cohort studies have linked midlife hypertension to mild cognitive impairment
and dementia later on.
Some of these studies found a higher risk of...
