A new study uncovered how microglia (immune-regulating brain cells) genetics contribute to neuroinflammation and, eventually, Alzheimer s disease. | Health
Researchers have developed a blood test for Alzheimer s disease that could pave the way for better research and less invasive diagnosis of the disease. Scientists are particularly hopeful that the new test will facilitate a needed increase in diversity among research study participants.
Researchers have identified 75 genes associated with an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, of which 42 had not previously been compromised in the medical condition.
In Alzheimer s disease, a person slowly begins to forget everything he or she ever knew. In AD, both patients, as well as caregivers, suffer as it causes immense problems
