Using CR2Crry to reduce the negative effects of brain hemorrhaging in premature infants

A little over 1% of babies born in the U.S. in 2020 fell under the category of very low birthweight, meaning they weighed less than 1,500 grams at birth or 3 pounds, 4 ounces. And considering that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says more than 3.5 million babies were born that year, almost 48,500 were considered to be at very low birthweight.

Einstein Aging Study secures $32 million NIH grant to help address the rising tide of Alzheimer's disease

To help address the rising tide of Alzheimer's disease nationwide, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in collaboration with faculty at Pennsylvania State University and other institutions, have received a five-year, $32 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to support the ongoing Einstein Aging Study, which focuses on both normal aging and the special challenges of Alzheimer's disease, and other dementias. EAS was established at Einstein in 1980 and has been continuously funded by the NIH.
