Alzheimer’s blood marker linked to standing blood pressure drops

In a 15-year study of 1,492 older adults, an elevated Alzheimer’s-related blood marker tracked with progressively larger blood pressure drops upon standing.In a 15-year study of 1,492 older adults, an elevated Alzheimer’s-related blood marker tracked with progressively larger blood pressure drops upon standing.

Blood samples contain sparse versus dense dark protein fragments among blood cells, beside standing groups wearing blood pressure cuffs.

Weaker navigation signals may reflect instability in older adults

An observational study using virtual navigation and brain scans in 85 older adults linked steadier directional activity patterns to stronger signals.An observational study using virtual navigation and brain scans in 85 older adults linked steadier directional activity patterns to stronger signals.

Brain tissue with branching neurons surrounds orderly clusters in blue-green patches and irregular clusters in gray patches, with a dark neuron at the center.

Protein helped limit calcium buildup in mouse arteries

Experiments in 18-month-old mice found faster atherosclerosis and arterial calcium buildup when the gene-regulating protein Rev-erb was absent.Experiments in 18-month-old mice found faster atherosclerosis and arterial calcium buildup when the gene-regulating protein Rev-erb was absent.

Artery cross-sections beside mice show thick plaque with clustered calcium deposits compared with a thinner wall, little plaque, and a wider opening.

Driving changes linked to later cognitive decline in older adults

A driving-based model detected 19 of 25 older adults who developed sustained mild cognitive impairment, with a median lead time of 18 months.A driving-based model detected 19 of 25 older adults who developed sustained mild cognitive impairment, with a median lead time of 18 months.
