ArticleJuly 29, 2024MODEL-AD drives progress for Alzheimer’s research
The July issue of Alzheimer’s & Dementia spotlights progress by MODEL-AD and its work to create better models for Alzheimer’s disease research and catalyze progress in the field. -
ArticleJuly 24, 2024Researchers are closing in on a mouse model for late-onset Alzheimer’s research
Mice don’t get Alzheimer’s—and while that’s good news for mice, it’s a big problem for biomedical researchers seeking to understand the disease and test new treatments. Now, researchers at The Jackson Laboratory are working to create the first strain of mice that’s genetically susceptible to late-onset Alzheimer’s, with potentially transformative implications for dementia research. -
