Spatial patterns of white matter hyperintensities are associated to Alzheimer’s disease risk factors
BBRC researchers have determined that higher risks of dementia are associated with an increased load of global white matter hyperintensities, which are brain lesions of vascular origin
What is the effect of biological –but not chronological– age, in Alzheimer’s disease?
BBRC researchers have received funding from the Alzheimer’s Association to analyze the possible effect of telomeres, which are considered a biomarker of biological aging, in the disease
