UNC School of Medicine researcher Sarah Cohen, PhD, and Ian Windham, a former postdoctoral fellow in the Cohen lab, have made a new discovery about apolipoprotein E (APOE) — the biggest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s. Older people who inherited a genetic variant called APOE4 from their parents have two or three times the risk of developing late-onset neurodegenerative disease. If researchers can better understand how APOE4 affects brain cells, it may help them design effective therapeutics and target the mechanisms that cause the increased risk of disease. Cohen and Windham conducted an extremely thorough, five-year study…

Based on the requirements of our body, body cells grow and divide to form new cells. This means that the body’s cells age and die exactly as programmed. New cells are born to replace old ones. In some cases, however, some of the cells divide uncontrollably and spread to the surrounding tissues, proving fatal. These are life-threatening cancer cells. They don’t die. Rather, they spread to nearby tissues in the form of solid tumors. or changes in the DNA in the blood. Research has shown that there are approximately 14 million cancer cases worldwide and 8.2 million cancer deaths. Cancer…
