Just like assembling a complex puzzle, scientists have used bioinformatics analysis to uncover the intricate relationship between Alzheimer’s disease (AD), alcohol dependence, and ferroptosis. By examining gene expression data from AD and alcohol dependence datasets, researchers identified differentially expressed genes and conducted functional enrichment analysis. Using machine learning techniques, they were able to identify candidate […]
In a fascinating 12-year study in the Republic of Korea, researchers analyzed data from a national cohort to uncover the incidence of dementia and the population-attributable fractions (PAFs) for various risk factors. It’s like trying to figure out which ingredients contribute to a delicious but dangerous cake! They found that dementia incidence increased yearly over […]
