Story summary

Researchers at the Buck Institute found gut immune cells migrate to the brain in Alzheimer's disease mice due to chemokine signals.
A high-fiber diet enhanced gut immune balance and reduced frailty symptoms, but did not decrease plaque levels.
The study highlights the gut-brain axis as a potential target for new Alzheimer's disease therapies.
Findings were published in *Cell Reports* on August 29, 2025.
