Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, in partnership with the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) and in collaboration with leading institutions across the country, have helped generate the largest single-cell immune cell atlas of the bone marrow in patients with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that, while treatable, remains incurable. The findings, published in Nature Cancer, provide unprecedented insight on immune dysfunction in myeloma and could lead to improved tools for predicting which patients are at higher risk of relapse after treatment.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a serious neurodegenerative disease largely affecting older adults. Apart from age, it also shows sex-based differences, with women being more at risk. However, the origin of these differences remains unknown. While bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play an important role in adult neurogenesis, their role in AD remains elusive. To address this, researchers have investigated sex-based differences and role of BMP signaling in neurogenesis in AD mice models, uncovering novel therapeutic targets
Neurodegenerative diseases, traditionally viewed as driven by neuronal decline, are increasingly recognized to involve significant immune dysfunction within and outside the central nervous system (CNS). A new review by Professor Qiang Liu's team at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital synthesizes evidence that dynamic interactions between brain-resident and peripheral immune cells are crucial in diseases like Parkinson's disease (PD), offering fresh perspectives for developing treatments that can modify disease progression.
