Mice that model this effect were treated with drugs to clear the troubled cells. Treatment reduced the number of the harmful tangles by about 35 percent when compared to mice given a sugar pill.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A type of cellular stress known to be involved in cancer and aging has now been implicated, for the first time, in Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n<p>A team of researchers found that the stress, called cellular senescence, is associated with harmful tau protein tangles that are a hallmark of 20 human brain diseases, including Alzheimer\u2019s and traumatic brain injury. The researchers identified senescent cells in postmortem brain tissue from Alzheimer\u2019s patients. Scientists also found them in postmortem tissue from another brain disease, progressive supranuclear palsy.<\/p>\n<p>Cellular senescence allows the stressed cell to survive, but the cell may become like a zombie, functioning abnormally and secreting substances that kill cells around it.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen cells enter this stage, they change their genetic programming and become pro-inflammatory and toxic,\u201d said study senior author Miranda E. Orr, Ph.D. She is a VA research health scientist at the South Texas Veterans Health Care System, faculty member of the Sam and Ann Barshop Institute for Longevity and Aging Studies, and instructor of pharmacology at UT Health San Antonio. \u201cTheir existence means the death of surrounding tissue.\u201d The team reported the discovery in the journal <i>Aging Cell<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>To clear senescent cells from the brains of middle-aged mice with advanced brain disease, researchers used a combination of drugs called senolytics. One drug, dasatinib, is a chemotherapy medication already approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Another drug is quercetin, a flavonoid found in fruits, vegetables and tea.<\/p>\n<p>The combination cleared the senescent cells and led to improvements in brain structure and function\u2014apparently stopping the disease in its tracks.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact we were able to treat very old mice and see improvement gives us hope that this treatment might work in human patients even after they exhibit symptoms of a brain disease,\u201d said Nicolas Musi, M.D., study first author, professor of medicine and director of the Barshop Institute.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11357\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11357\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11357\" src=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2019\/03\/Zombie-brain-scans.jpg\" alt=\"brain scans\" width=\"1000\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2019\/03\/Zombie-brain-scans.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2019\/03\/Zombie-brain-scans-150x74.jpg 150w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2019\/03\/Zombie-brain-scans-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2019\/03\/Zombie-brain-scans-768x379.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11357\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scientists used a mouse model to simulate the brain of 70-year-olds with Alzheimer\u2019s disease.
