A research team led by Chunshui Yu and Mulin Jun Li of Tianjin Medical University has discovered two new genes potentially involved in Alzheimer s disease. They identified them by exploring which genes were turned on and off in the hippocampus of people who suffered from the disease. The team s new findings are published February 25th in
PLOS Genetics.
Alzheimer s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that involves worsening dementia and the formation of protein plaques and tangles in the brain. The hippocampus, part of the brain involved in memory, is one of the first regions to sustain damage. To better understand which genes contribute to the progression of this heritabl
