Immune cells ATTACK the aging brain and release a substance that hinders new nerve cell production, report scientists
One of the defining features of the brain that sets it apart from all other organs of the human body (except muscles) is that it is made up of cells that cannot regenerate. The nerve cells in the brain called neurons are terminally differentiated, meaning that, unlike skin cells or blood cells, they cannot reproduce. So […]

Microglia protect the central nervous system from inflammation and could hold the key to treating retina disease
Microglia help protect the central nervous system from disease-causing pathogens and issues. Recent research has revealed that these cells determine whether or not other immune cells might enter the brain. Managing these gatekeeper cells might offer a way to control the risk of inflammation that damage the retina. Researchers at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear (MEE) hospital discovered […]

Alzheimer’s hits more than just the memory; patients experience immune system dysfunction as well
Researchers have discovered that there is a link between inflammation biomarkers in both plasma and cerebrospinal fluid and markers of Alzheimer’s disease-associated pathology. This means that the disease does not only affect memory, but the immune system of patients as well. The study was conducted by a group of researchers from the University of Colorado Anschutz […]

How fasting boosts brain power
Studies have shown that intermittent fasting may give your brain not just more energy, but an increased memory learning ability as well. This data comes from scientists from the National Institute on Aging, who found that mice who were fed every other day developed more neurons and synaptic connections which enhanced their brain function. The new findings bolster earlier studies demonstrating […]

Inflammatory disease can cause your brain to change, making you more vulnerable to other illnesses
Inflammatory disease can lead to brain changes, which make you more susceptible to other illnesses, according to a study published in the journal Nature. In the study, it was found that inflammatory reactions can alter the brain’s immune cells in the long term, which means that these cells have an “immunological memory.” This memory may […]

Predicting Alzheimer’s: Major inflammation in your 40s puts you at high risk, making the case for improving lifestyle habits
Scientists at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland found that extreme inflammation – which can be caused in middle age by weight gain and high blood pressure or diabetes – could be a sign of impending Alzheimer’s disease. When the scientists observed 1,633 people between the ages of 45 and 65 who were given […]

Damage control and regeneration: Researchers find that the immune system also plays a role in nervous system health
A new study reveals that certain immune cells called neutrophils help the nervous system clear debris brought about by nerve damage before cell repair can take place, reports Science Daily. The research team studied mice and found that damaged nerve cells produce a stream of molecular “lures” that specifically attract neutrophils to the injury sites. Once […]

Here’s the shocking REAL reason why aluminum is added to vaccines
The question of whether or not to vaccinate your baby is one which every new mother must face. Bombarded with conflicting “evidence” about the safety and efficacy of vaccines, many are very confused, afraid to cause long-term damage like autism, but bullied by the mainstream media and medical professionals into believing that failing to vaccinate […]

Light as medicine: Flashing lights found to halt Alzheimer’s disease
(NaturalNews) Lights flashing at a precise frequency might hold promise as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, according to a study conducted by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and published in the journal Nature. Significantly, the treatment worked by activating the brain’s own dedicated immune system, causing the brain to clear out the amyloid […]
