Japanese Scientists Use Stem Cell Treatment to Restore Movement in Spinal Injury Patients
▫️A team of researchers in Japan says two of four patients who received transplantation of special stem cells showed motor function recovery in a clinical study to repair spinal cord injuries.
▫️The researchers from Keio University and other institutions said on Friday it was the first case in the world in which a treatment using cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPSCs, helped improve symptoms of patients with spinal cord injuries.

Does Higher Dairy Intake Reduce CRC Risk?
▫️Two Recent Studies Have Added to The Growing Body of Research Suggesting Consuming More Dairy Reduces A Person’s Risk of Getting Colorectal Cancer.
▫️A Prospective Cohort Study in Nature Communications published in January looked at the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in more than 540,000 UK women over 16 years and found a 14% reduced risk for the cancer for every 200 g of dairy milk consumed per day. It also found an 8% reduced risk per 50 g of yogurt per day.
▫️The Other Study, From GutMicrobes, also published in January, looked specifically at yogurt intake with a focus on Bifidobacterium, a bacteria commonly found in yogurt.

Alzheimer’s risk rises when amount of deep sleep falls, study suggests | CNN
Not getting enough of the deeper stages of sleep raises the risk of brain deterioration associated with Alzheimer’s disease, a new study finds.
Alzheimer’s Risk Rises When Amount of Deep Sleep Falls, Study Suggests
▫️Not Spending Enough Time in The Two Deep Stages of Sleep - Slow-Wave And Rapid Eye Movement, or REM, Sleep - May Hasten The Deterioration of Parts of The Brain Associated With Alzheimer’s Disease, A New Study Found.
▫️During Deep Sleep, The Brain Sweeps Out Toxins And Dead Cells While Also Repairing And Restoring The Body For The Next Day. While We Dream During REM Sleep, The Brain Is Busy Processing Emotions, Consolidating Memories And Absorbing New Information. It Makes Sense That Getting Quality Deep And REM Sleep Is Key to Our Ability to Function.

Low Vitamin K Intake May Adversely Affect Cognition As People Get Older
▫️A new study from researchers at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (HNRCA) at Tufts University is shedding light on how insufficient consumption of Vitamin K may adversely affect cognition as people get older.
▫️The study, conducted in middle-aged rodents, suggests that a lack of vitamin K may increase inflammation and hamper proliferation of neural cells in the hippocampus, a portion of the brain that is capable of generating new cells and is central to functions such as learning and memory.
