In new research appearing in the journal Alzheimer’s and Dementia, Diego Mastroeni, Paul Coleman and their colleagues at the ASU-Banner Neurodegenerative Disease Research Center (NDRC) and the Biodesign Center for Bioenergetics investigate the role of mitochondria in Alzheimer’s disease pathology. Mitochondria act as energy centers for cells and are of central importance in health and disease.

The study builds on earlier work suggesting gene mutations affecting may be critical in the development— and pitiless progression— of the disease.

Diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) may manifest as pathological changes in the retina of the eye. Research from the University of Eastern Finland (UEF) shows that retinal changes may be detected earlier than brain changes. Findings from mouse models suggest that eye examination could be used as a noninvasive screening tool for human brain diseases.

The great majority of people will eventually develop Alzheimer’s if they don’t die of something else first.

“That’s a fundamental insight that is different in this than in other studies out there — so-called polygenic risk scores, where you look at the disease as either something you’re going to get or not,”

New research shows that there may be a difference in how Alzheimer

“Our study shows that the severity and proportion of neuropsychiatric symptoms is significantly higher in a Hispanic group compared to non-Hispanic whites,” says lead researcher Ricardo Salazar, M.D., a geriatric psychiatrist at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso (TTUHSC El Paso). “This could have a significant impact on the treatment and understanding of how Alzheimer’s disease progresses in Hispanics.”
