ITHACA, New York, Oct. 1 -- Cornell University issued the following news:
Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have found that two genetic variants that confer high risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) together trigger a harmful inflammatory response in the brain's immune cells, particularly in females, in a preclinical model.
The findings, published Sept. 30 in Neuron, emphasize the importance of considering sex differences in Alzheimer's research a step that could ultima . . .
