Sleep is essential for everyone, but for those living with dementia, it is vital for better health and quality of life. Addressing sleep problems in dementia care is a crucial step toward improving life for both patients and caregivers.
Aging (Aging-US) Research
Sleep disturbances are a significant concern in individuals with dementia, affecting their overall health and quality of life, as well as that of their family members and caregivers. Dementia, a progressive neurodegenerative condition marked by cognitive decline, often coexists with various comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, anxiety/depression and thyroid disorders.
Researchers from Washington University School of Medicine and Washington University in St. Louis, MO, share their findings which underscore the need for complementary protein-level assays in skeletal biology research.
Researchers from Japan explore the effects of housing density during the juvenile stage on whole-life traits, including growth, fecundity, and lifespan, in African turquoise killifish.
Within the same species, individuals exhibiting faster growth tend to have shorter lifespans, even if their fast growth arises from early-life pharmacological interventions. However, in vertebrates, the impact of the early-life environment on the growth rate and lifespan has not been fully elucidated.
Researchers from CIC bioGUNE-BRTA and University of Luxembourg introduce SINGULAR, a cell rejuvenation atlas that provides a unified analysis framework to study the effects of rejuvenation strategies at the single-cell level.
In this study, researchers reinforce knowledge about an age-related alteration in the synthesis of major proteins linked to the migratory and contractile functions of dermal human fibroblasts.
Capturing the genetic architecture of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is challenging because of the complex interplay of genetic and non-genetic factors in its etiology. It has been suggested that AD biomarkers may improve the characterization of AD pathology and its genetic architecture…
A new study compared circulating miRNAs and their association with cognitive function and decline among cognitively “normal” men.
