Microglia Overloaded with Fat Linked to Rapid MS

Why do some multiple sclerosis patients deteriorate rapidly while others experience mild symptoms for decades? A post-mortem neuro-audit reveals that severe MS progression is linked to "foamy microglia", brain immune cells pathologically overloaded with fat droplets.

Broken Sleep Rhythms: The Glymphatic Link to Dementia

During non-REM sleep, synchronized chemical waves trigger rhythmic vascular movements known as vasomotion, pumping cerebrospinal fluid through the glymphatic system to flush out toxic amyloid-beta and tau proteins. When these rhythms are fractured by psychiatric, cardiovascular, or age-related stressors, waste clearance stalls.
