Daily Caffeinated Coffee Intake Linked to Reduced Dementia Risk

Daily consumption of 2-3 cups of caffeinated coffee is strongly associated with a dramatically lower long-term risk of dementia and better cognitive function, independently of genetic predisposition. Dementia currently lacks effective preventative pharmacological interventions, making lifestyle modifications a cornerstone of risk reduction strategies.

A CD4-lineage erythro-myeloid progenitor within the adult bone marrow defines an alternative pathway for macrophage generation

These findings reveal an alternative pathway of adult myelopoiesis that sustains macrophage diversity beyond the classical monocyte lineage. Transcriptomic comparisons position EMPROR cells closest to embryonic erythro-myeloid progenitors, indicating the persistence of an embryonic-like program in adult bone marrow.

Clinical Reasoning: A 60-Year-Old Woman With Progressive Dysarthric Speech and Gait Instability

Readers will navigate a stepwise clinical reasoning approach to subacute cerebellar ataxia, which illustrates the importance of recognizing systemic red flags and monitoring phenotypic evolution as well as how specialized testing based on positive TBA results can resolve diagnostic dilemmas when commercial assays remain unrevealing. Specialized testing in a neuroimmunology laboratory ultimately revealed the diagnosis.

Pearls & Oy-sters: Beyond the Bone Marrow-VEXAS Syndrome Presenting as Subacute Encephalomyelitis

Follow-up MRI performed 1 month after presentation showed resolution of contrast enhancement and partial disappearance of spinal T2 hyperintense lesions. Negative infectious PCR testing and the absence of aquaporin 4 and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies argued against infection or other inflammatory demyelinating condition.

Establishing Potosi Virus as a Human Pathogen: Fatal Neuroinvasive Disease in a B-Cell-Depleted Patient

Potosi virus can cause fatal neuroinvasive disease in humans, as evidenced by convergent postmortem neuropathologic, molecular, and ultrastructural evidence. Chronic B-cell depletion may increase susceptibility to severe disease with arboviral infections, which may present without conventional CNS inflammatory markers.

Evidence for maternal autoantibodies in the pathogenesis of preterm birth

These findings identify a term pregnancy humoral immune program and shared changes preceding preterm delivery, including anti-IL1RA, which may have direct pathogenic consequences. IL1RA localizes to placental endothelial (blood-vessel lining) adherens junctions, suggesting a role in vascular integrity.
