Having a biological age older than chronological age is associated with a greater likelihood of developing dementia, a new study has shown. By combining measures of biological aging and genetic risk, ...

Scientists developed a genetics-first framework to uncover rare diseases that may respond to targeted vitamin therapy. In a mouse model of lethal NAXD deficiency, high-dose vitamin B3 dramatically ...

Public health researchers use newly developed data analysis method to build the first cell type-specific gene regulatory maps for Alzheimer’s disease, revealing the genetic mechanisms operating within ...

A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the known number of potential regulatory elements in the genome to 2.37 million, ...

The number of people living with dementia worldwide was estimated at 57 million in 2021 with nearly 10 million new cases recorded each year. In the U.S., dementia impacts more than 6 million lives, ...

Despite strong evidence that salt substitutes can safely lower sodium intake and reduce high blood pressure, very few Americans use them. A new analysis of nearly 20 years of national health data ...

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images are already a common staple of battery research. Now, they can be paired with a simple algorithm to enable better prediction of lithium metal battery ...

Walking more may have a protective effect against Alzheimer’s, a new study has found. People genetically predisposed to Alzheimer's appeared to get the most cognitive benefit from walking. Look for ...

Proteogenomics explores how genetic information translates into protein expression and function, and the role of changes across DNA, RNA, and proteins in influencing disease development and ...
