Why Women Face Higher Alzheimer’s Risk

Proteogenomic Markers Link Alzheimer’s Risk to Depression

In recent years, the intricate relationship between major depressive disorder (MDD) and the heightened risk of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) has drawn increasing scientific attention. Despite wide recognition of this connection, the biological underpinnings that link these two prevalent and debilitating conditions remain elusive. A groundbreaking investigation leveraging data from the UK Biobank now sheds critical light on thi…
