Scientists find new piece of the puzzle in understanding how the brains of Alzheimer's patients work

Why does it become harder to concentrate when you have Alzheimer's disease? The explanation is perhaps that the signals transmitted from glial cells to nerve cells are disrupted.

Leducq Foundation awards $15 million to advance the understanding of atherosclerosis

The Leducq Foundation has awarded $15 million to researchers at UVA Health and their collaborators to advance our understanding of atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, and find better ways to treat it. Diseases linked to atherosclerosis are the leading cause of death in the United States.

Patient’s education level and cognitive function may affect the completion of at-home FIT test

While many patients find at-home colorectal cancer screening tests (known as fecal immunochemical tests or FIT) more comfortable than those performed in the clinic, FIT collection is dependent upon the patient closely following provided instructions.

Some pre-existing conditions matter a lot more when assessing COVID-19 outcomes

A new paper in Biology Methods & Protocols, published by Oxford University Press, indicates that some pre-existing conditions - including degenerative neurological diseases, dementia, and severe disabilities - matter a lot more than once thought when assessing who is at risk for death due to COVID-19.
