Imagine you have a group project in school, but this time it involves three different types of cells – neurons, microglia, and astrocytes – working together to understand Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Glial cells play an important role in the progression of AD by causing inflammation and neurodegeneration. Scientists wanted to create a simple and affordable […]
Imagine you’re investigating a crime scene, trying to connect the evidence to the suspect. Well, scientists are doing something similar with Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD). They want to find out which biomarkers in our bodies can predict the progression of Alzheimer’s. By using a method called polygenic risk score (AD-PRS), they have discovered that certain genetic […]
Imagine your brain as a vast and intricate tapestry of interconnected threads. In a recent study, scientists used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) to examine the regional homogeneity (ReHo) in the brains of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). They discovered remarkable changes in neural network connectivity within specific brain regions. The study recruited […]
