Brain scans suggest poorer fluid clearance in older adults

A cross-sectional study of 30 healthy adults linked older age to brain scan measures suggesting impaired fluid clearance and altered barrier function.A cross-sectional study of 30 healthy adults linked older age to brain scan measures suggesting impaired fluid clearance and altered barrier function.

Blood vessel cells show aging-linked changes in human skin

An analysis of three published datasets, validated in 15 human skin samples, identified an aging-linked subgroup of cells that support small blood vessels.An analysis of three published datasets, validated in 15 human skin samples, identified an aging-linked subgroup of cells that support small blood vessels.

Vessel lining damage linked to heart dysfunction in Chinese adults

In 503 retired adults in China, each 0.1-micrometre rise in a marker of vessel lining damage was linked to 12% higher odds of asymptomatic heart dysfunction.In 503 retired adults in China, each 0.1-micrometre rise in a marker of vessel lining damage was linked to 12% higher odds of asymptomatic heart dysfunction.

Brain wiring links to different thinking skills with age

In 86 adults, brain scans showed widespread white matter changes, while older people relied on different nerve pathways than younger adults for executive tasks.In 86 adults, brain scans showed widespread white matter changes, while older people relied on different nerve pathways than younger adults for executive tasks.

A protein mutation curbs brain damage in mice with dementia

Young and 18-month-old mice with an altered UCHL1 protein showed less white matter injury and better sensorimotor and cognitive performance in a dementia model.Young and 18-month-old mice with an altered UCHL1 protein showed less white matter injury and better sensorimotor and cognitive performance in a dementia model.

Brain diffusion scans predict dementia risk and mental decline

Among 5,230 adults aged 45 and older followed for a median 9.8 years, one brain diffusion marker best predicted cognitive decline, while two best predicted dementia risk.Among 5,230 adults aged 45 and older followed for a median 9.8 years, one brain diffusion marker best predicted cognitive decline, while two best predicted dementia risk.

Slower stepping in older adults linked to processing delays

An observational comparison of 54 healthy older and 28 younger adults linked slower stepping to less efficient information processing, rather than greater caution.An observational comparison of 54 healthy older and 28 younger adults linked slower stepping to less efficient information processing, rather than greater caution.
