Alzheimer’s

A new mobile app to detect Alzheimer’s using speech data
University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers have developed a groundbreaking new diagnostic technique that will allow for faster and more accurate detection of neurodegenerative diseases that affect humans, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and similar diseases that affect animals, such as chronic wasting disease (CWD) and mad cow disease.

“With this study, we’ve found a way to potentially harness microglia themselves to treat those diseases,” said Mathew Blurton-Jones of UCI (clockwise from upper left), pictured with Jean Paul Chadarevian of UCI, and Frederick “Chris” Bennett and Sonia Lombroso of Penn.
Scientists overcome key hurdle in inserting healthy immune cells into the brain
DARSHAN SAPKOTA An extended form of the protein aquaporin 4 (red) lines the edges of tiny blood vessels in the brain. Cell nuclei are visible in blue. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found a new druggable pathway that enhances the amount of long aquaporin 4 near blood vessels and increases the clearance of waste from the brain. The findings potentially could lead to new therapies to prevent Alzheimer’s dementia.
