Thanks to international collaboration, more genetic variations for Alzheimer’s disease are known today than ever before. The list of gene variants recognized for late-onset Alzheimer’s grew from one in 2009 to 40 in 2022. This month, scientists published a list of 75, some of which are considered as prime drug targets. Drug development is underway.

Scientists look at the molecular mechanisms behind exercise’s health, anti-aging benefits. Contact: Will Sansom, (210) 567-2579, sansom@uthscsa.edu SAN ANTONIO (Jan. 24, 2022) – After a 15-month-long COVID-19 stoppage, a landmark National Institutes of Health effort to detail the exact molecular mechanisms that explain exercise’s health and anti-aging benefits is again under way. “We’re very excited […]
