Bone marrow problems in Alzheimer's limit brain repair cells

Bone marrow problems in Alzheimer's limit brain repair cells

Scientists have found that monocyte development, which creates immune cells to help the brain, is impaired in both Alzheimer's patients and mice. Bone marrow impairment is due to a maladaptive response, driven by a type I interferon protein. Blocking this protein or replacing bone marrow could boost beneficial brain repair cells and reduce disease progression.
