Alternative Strategies to Prevent Oral Pathogens Infection and Battle Alzheimer’s Disease
https://braincanada.ca/fr/subventions-financées/alternative-strategies-to-prevent-oral-pathogens-infection-and-battle-alzheimer-s-diseaseProject Overview Bacteria involved in gum disease can be found in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. These bacteria help release toxins into different tissues, including the brain. And these toxins, in turn, increase amyloid beta in the brain, contributing to Alzheimer’s...

Amyloid deposition and the glymphatic system assessed simultaneously in Alzheimer’s disease using PET/MRI
https://braincanada.ca/fr/subventions-financées/amyloid-deposition-and-the-glymphatic-system-assessed-simultaneously-in-alzheimer-s-disease-using-pet-mriPoor sleep is a known risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. Project Overview Poor sleep is a known risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. This is likely due to sleep’s role in removing waste products from the brain. There is currently no way to view this waste removal process without posing a risk to...
