Analysis provides new insights into complex effects of Alzheimer’s disease on the retina

Cedars-Sinai investigators have produced the most extensive analysis to date of changes in the retina - a layer of tissue at the back of the eye where visual information originates - and how those retinal changes correspond to brain and cognitive changes in Alzheimer's disease patients.

Bacteria exploit nerve cells in the meninges to facilitate brain invasion

A new study led by researchers at Harvard Medical School details the step-by-step cascade that allows bacteria to break through the brain's protective layers - the meninges - and cause brain infection, or meningitis, a highly fatal disease.
