Research project funded by the National Institute on Aging to identify lipid biomarkers linked to Alzheimer’s disease and dementia through advanced lipidomics analysis of plasma and brain samples.
Description
The study aims to identify novel circulating lipids associated with the risks of Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and cognitive decline. Conducted within the Cardiovascular Health Study, it involves analyzing plasma and postmortem brain samples using advanced lipidomics technology to discover new targets for intervention and prevention.
