Study explores how traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be linked to Alzheimer’s disease

Each year, about 2.5 million people suffer from traumatic brain injuries (TBI), which often increases their risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease later in life. Researchers led by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine used mouse models and human post-mortem brain tissue to study the molecular underpinnings that may increase the […]

Researchers are closing in on a mouse model for late-onset Alzheimer’s

Mice don’t get Alzheimer’s — and while that’s good news for mice, it’s a big problem for biomedical researchers seeking to understand the disease and test new treatments. Now, researchers at The Jackson Laboratory are working to create the first strain of mice that’s genetically susceptible to late-onset Alzheimer’s, with potentially transformative implications for dementia […]

Scientists discover links between Alzheimer’s disease and gut microbiota

Researchers have discovered the link between the gut microbiota and Alzheimer’s disease. For the first time, researchers have found that Alzheimer’s symptoms can be transferred to a healthy young organism via the gut microbiota, confirming its role in the disease. The research was led by Professor Yvonne Nolan, APC Microbiome Ireland, a world leading SFI […]
