The article provides a comprehensive overview of the Keystone Symposia conference on Myeloid Cell Diversity, highlighting key presentations on topics such as phagocytosis of dead cells, neutrophil behavior, myeloid cell states, and the impact of lifestyle factors on myeloid cells in disease states. It also discusses the role of myeloid cells in Alzheimer's disease, specifically how their dissociation may mediate vascular dysfunction.
The article describes the development of a self-regulated multi-functional nano-modulator (siR/PIO@RP) that can intelligently navigate to the damaged blood-brain barrier and release therapeutic cargoes for synergetic Alzheimer's disease (AD) therapy. The nano-modulator is capable of reducing cerebral amyloid-β load, relieving neuroinflammation, and alleviating the dysfunction of the neurovascular unit, providing proof of concept that normalizing the neurovascular unit holds promise as a means of alleviating AD symptoms.

In the context of increasing sex differences in psychiatric disorders over time, it is urgent to reduce the sex differences in psychiatric disorders. The findings that sex differences in psychiatric disorders exist almost across the whole life emphasized the adoption of gendered mental health prevention strategies and consistent risk factor management over the lifecourse. The variation of such differences across age and socioeconomic status suggests that the current knowledge - females predominate in internalizing disorders and males predominate in externalizing disorders - can be improved by incorporating information on age and socioeconomic status.
