What should researchers prioritise next after a small vibrating-mattress study showed changes in Alzheimer’s-related blood proteins?
RESEARCH LANE
Finnish researchers tested whole-body vibration combined with a nitric oxide treatment in 29 healthy adults. The intervention was associated with changes in brain-fluid measures and blood proteins. The study was published in Nature Communications on 3 November. A 10 November science report brought renewed attention to the unusual experimental approach. No trial has shown that this method prevents or treats Alzheimer’s disease.
