Empowering early detection of dementia with a dual approach involving AI and patient input

Few primary care practices are designed for the timely detection of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The limited time that primary care clinicians are able to spend with patients, the need to focus on the health problems which brought the patient to the clinic, as well as the stigma of Alzheimer's disease and dementia are major reasons for lack of recognition of the condition.

Early lean mass shapes long-term brain development in preterm infants

Extremely preterm infants with higher fat-free mass at term-equivalent age show better cognitive, language, and motor outcomes through age three. Early lean-tissue growth offers stronger neurodevelopmental insight than traditional growth measures.

Researchers refine tools to map DNA’s 3D structure inside cells

DNA isn't just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the tools used to study DNA need to be just as sophisticated-able to read not only the code itself, but how it's arranged in space.
