Aperçu du projet

Care for people living with dementia (PLWD) is often managed at home by family caregivers, yet products, services,and spaces are not designed with their needs in mind. While resources suggest ""dementia-proofing"" or using assistive products, barriers like cost, access, and practical implementation can limit their effectiveness. As a result,caregivers frequently…

Aperçu du projet

Mitochondria are crucial for the brain as they are the cellular engine providing the energy to this organ. Alterations in mitochondrial activity in dementia have been observed for decades. An established hypothesis suggests that brain mitochondrial dysfunction could cause neurodegenerative diseases and dementia. However, it is unclear whether these alterations…

Aperçu du projet

Genetic variants in multiple genes increase disease risk and progression in tauopathies. Of the hundreds of annotated variants identified in any single relevant gene, such as Tau, over 90% have no known impact on risk,leaving physicians unable to interpret their clinical significance when encountered. This proposal aims to test a…

Aperçu du projet

Alzheimer's disease and dementia are major health challenges affecting many people. Mild Cognitive Impairment(MCI) is an early sign of memory issues that can progress to Alzheimer’s. Individuals with MCI often face memory difficulties. This study explores how infrared light therapy, called transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM), may help brain cells generate more…

Aperçu du projet

Women have a higher lifetime risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and tend to show more Alzheimer’s-related changes in the brain. This increased risk seems to be linked to factors unique to females, like menopause and their reproductive history. For instance, the number of pregnancies a woman has had can affect…
