The Mysterious Pathways of the Brain’s Waste Removal System

Discover the fascinating world of the brain’s waste removal system! In a recent study, scientists used diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) to assess the glymphatic system in older adults with normal cognition. Imagine your brain as a bustling city, with streets and alleys that transport waste away. The glymphatic system is […]

The prediction of Alzheimer’s disease through multi-trait genetic modeling

Imagine building a puzzle that requires you to combine puzzle pieces from multiple sets. In the quest to better understand Alzheimer’s disease (AD), scientists have developed a joint genetic score called MetaGRS. They integrated genetic information from AD and 24 other traits, analyzing data from two independent cohorts. When compared to the traditional AD genetic […]
