A study suggests that in early stages, individuals with a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer's may become more socially engaged and have better family relationships, possibly as a compensatory response, challenging the idea that social isolation increases Alzheimer's risk.
Researchers at Cardiff University are using cutting-edge techniques to understand the early causes of Parkinson's disease. By collecting skin cell samples from people with Parkinson's and individuals without the condition, the team is "reverse-aging" the cells to become stem cells and then encouraging them to develop into neurons. The researchers are listening in to the electrical communication happening between the cells to better understand the variety of factors that contribute to the condition, including the inability of certain brain cells to clean-up waste proteins inside them, which could result in the cells dying.
