‘Alzheimer’s Overlaps with Many Paths’

Alzheimer’s disease, a complex neurological disorder, shares a surprising number of pathways with various biological processes. Using text-mining techniques, researchers analyzed over 200,000 publication abstracts related to dementia to identify the pathways associated with Alzheimer’s. They found that 91% of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways were linked to the disease in at […]

Genetic Variants and Diet Impact Alzheimer’s Disease in Mice

Just like how certain foods can interact with our genes to affect our health, a recent study found that specific genetic variants combined with a high fat/high sugar diet (HFD) can accelerate Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in mice. While previous studies mainly focused on early-onset AD models, this research investigated late-onset AD (LOAD) by introducing genetic […]
