A fuse of cardiovascular diseases
(Hiroshima University) A promising biomarker for the severity of age-related white matter changes and endothelial function was evaluated at Hiroshima University, Japan. The researchers at Hiroshima University investigated the association between the telomeric 3'-overhang length of leukocytes and vascular risk, ARWMCs, and endothelial function. They suggested that the telomere G-tail might be a useful marker of endothelial dysfunction, as well as stroke and dementia.

Strengthening the immune system's fight against brain cancer
(NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) When cancer strikes, it may be possible for patients to fight back with their own defenses, using a strategy known as immunotherapy. According to a new study published in Nature, researchers have found a way to enhance the effects of this therapeutic approach in glioblastoma, a deadly type of brain cancer, and possibly improve patient outcomes. The research was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

Brainstem discovered as important relay site after stroke
(University of Zurich) After a stroke, sufferers are often faced with the problem of severe movement impairment. Researchers at the Brain Research Institute of the University of Zurich have now discovered that the brainstem could play a major role in the recovery of motor functions. The projection of neurons from this ancient part of the brain into the spinal cord leads to the neural impulses needed for motion being rerouted.
