Researchers from the Neuroscience Research Program, in conjunction with the University of Minnesota in the United States, will conduct the first meta-analysis with individual data on this issue. They will analyze data from more than 30,000 people in the United States and four European countries. The aim is to obtain recommendations so that governments can establish dietary guidelines to prevent the onset of diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Is there any type of diet that really works to prevent cognitive decline? Despite all the publications on this question, the scientific evidence is not conclusive. For this reason, the Institute for the Advancement of Foord and Nutrition Sciences (IAFNS), in the United States, a body that acts as an advisor to the US government, has commissioned the Hospital del Mar Research Institute and the Epidemiology and Community Health Division of the University of Minnesota School of Public Health to conduct the first meta-analysis with individual data on the question.

A collaborative effort led by Dr. Anna Bigas, from the Hospital del Mar Research Institute and Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute, found that the population of haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) responsible for the generation and self-renewal of the blood and immune system keeps a long-term undifferentiated state thanks to its ability to physically block its own NOTCH1 receptor through the expression of JAGGED1, a specific NOTCH activator. Authors hypothesise that the lack of this previously unknown mechanism might be the cause for the poor performance of current approaches to generate HSC from induced pluripotent stem cells for regenerative medicine.
