The anticoagulant dabigatran delayed the appearance of Alzheimer's disease in mice. One year of dabigatran treatment led to no memory loss, fewer amyloid plaques and reduced neuroinflammation.

Regular, individualized exercise programs are essential for cancer patients to improve cardiovascular health and reduce inflammation. Impaired heart function from cancer treatment is common; exercise can help.

Female mice bred with Alzheimer's-like symptoms had improved spatial memory when consuming high choline diets. Choline reduces microglia activation, which causes neuroinflammation when over-activated.

This study provides a new view on how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to premature aging. A new theory is that the mitochondrial dysfunction affects cellular nucleotide pools and compromises nuclear genome maintenance.
