Research scientists at CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, have used artificial intelligence (AI) to further unlock the genetic secrets to Alzheimer’s disease.

Swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography may predict diabetic nephropathy
Nonperfusion area detected by swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) may predict diabetic nephropathy (DN) severity, according to a study published in the July issue of the American Journal of Ophthalmology.
Independent, academic cancer trials are vital to improve patient outcomes worldwide
Independent, academic clinical cancer trials are essential to improving patient outcomes, reducing inequalities in care, and strengthening health care systems worldwide, according to a new initiative published in The Lancet Oncology. The paper, "Academic clinical cancer trials to improve patient outcomes," announces the launch of a Lancet Oncology Commission examining the role, relevance, and challenges of academic clinical cancer research in today's geopolitical and economic context.
Deterioration in cognitive function precedes cardiovascular disease events in seniors
For older adults, deterioration in cognitive function is seen prior to cardiovascular disease (CVD) events, according to a study published online April 20 in JAMA Network Open.
Statement highlights how brain health is shaped by lifetime mental, physical, environmental and lifestyle factors
Brain health isn't determined only by genetics or what happens later in life. A growing body of research shows that a range of factors—from mental health and sleep to the environment, lifestyle and social conditions—play a powerful role in shaping how the brain functions and ages.
How the immune system battles lifelong viral infections acquired at birth
Millions of people worldwide carry viral infections they acquired at birth, often for life. For a long time it was assumed that the immune system hardly fights these pathogens. Researchers from the University of Basel show now that the body's defenses do indeed act against the virus. This could be a useful starting point for future therapies.
