Black patients face delays in Alzheimer’s diagnosis

Lipid deposits (green) in brain immune cells (red) from mice with Alzheimer’s-like disease all but disappear (right) after the mice are treated with an experimental drug. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that a form of cholesterol known as cholesteryl esters builds up in the brains of mice with Alzheimer’s-like disease, and that clearing out the cholesteryl esters helps prevent brain damage and behavioral changes.

Lowering a form of brain cholesterol cuts Alzheimer’s-like damage in mice

Study Identifies Genetic Drivers of Alzheimer’s Progression, Drug Targets

In 2015, Drs. Xiao Zhen Zhou (left) and Kun Ping Lu discovered the association between cis P-tau and Alzheimer’s, traumatic brain injuries and stroke. The new study is the first to identify the toxic protein outside the brain in the placenta and the blood of preeclampsia patients. (Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry photo)

In major breakthrough, researchers close in on preeclampsia cure
