A healthier diet is linked with a slower pace of aging, reduced dementia risk, study shows

A healthier diet is associated with a reduced dementia risk and slower pace of aging, according to a new study. The findings show that a diet-dementia association was at least partially facilitated by multi-system processes of aging. Until now, the biological mechanism of this protection was not well understood. Read Full Article (External Site) Dr. […]

A scoping review of mathematical models covering Alzheimer’s disease progression

Alzheimer’s disease is a complex, multi-factorial, and multi-parametric neurodegenerative etiology. Mathematical models can help understand such a complex problem by providing a way to explore and conceptualize principles, merging biological knowledge with experimental data into a model amenable to simulation and external validation, all without the need for extensive clinical trials. We performed a scoping […]
