POLICY WIRE — City, Country — A groundbreaking study has uncovered a potential explanation for why the body struggles to heal Alzheimer’s on its own, pointing to accelerated aging of the blood system as a key factor.

For years, Alzheimer’s research has centered on brain-specific issues like amyloid-beta plaques and tau proteins. However, new findings suggest that the root of the problem may lie in the bone marrow, where stem cells produce immune cells critical for fighting the disease.

Researchers found that in both mice and human patients, the development of monocytes—key immune cells—is disrupted in Alzheimer’s. This impairment hampers the body’s ability to send reinforcements to the brain, worsening the condition. The study, published in Nature Neuroscience, highlights the need for further research into translating these findings into human therapies.
