Scientists on Tuesday revealed how young bone marrow stem cell transplants could be the future of treating immune cells that assist with the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease.

The findings in Science Advances come from a team of Chinese researchers who successfully transplanted bone marrow from two-month-old mice to restore the immune systems of their older counterparts affected by genetic and pathological indicators of Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s is a progressive and fatal neurological disease that commonly affects people over the age of 65. Prevailing Alzheimer’s research links the disease to the buildup of amyloid beta and tau proteins in the brain, though other recent studies have found that approximately half of the genes associated with Alzheimer’s are directly involved with the immune system.

A systematic review of lifespan studies in rodents using stem cell transplantations

Highlights

  • 95% of the studies found significant improvements in lifespan/healthspan.

  • 60% of the studies included additional outcomes related to health that showed improvements.

  • Half of the studies administered a single cell injection only.

  • Accelerated aging or disease models showed greater improvements.

  • None of the studies were blinded or randomised.
