|
| |  Research led by Professor Hodson-Tole combines ultrasound and AI to improve motor neuron disease diagnosis, reducing reliance on invasive procedures. | |
|
| |  An interdisciplinary team at the USC Center for Personalized Brain Health (CPBH) is targeting a family of enzymes that can increase the risk of inflammation in the brains of people with the APOE4 gene variation-the most significant genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's-as a way to prevent the disease. | |
