Study links high neuroinflammation in young people with Down Syndrome to Alzheimer's risk

Down syndrome is associated with accelerated aging. It is estimated that up to 90% of individuals with the condition develop Alzheimer's disease before the age of 70. A study by researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil identified high levels of neuroinflammation in young individuals with Down syndrome, an additional factor explaining the high prevalence of Alzheimer's disease in older people with the condition. The discovery paves the way for strategies to prevent and monitor the disease.

New algae gel provides realistic platform for breast cancer research

In 2020, right when Jane Baude was starting her Ph.D. research at UC Santa Barbara, she learned that a critical component of her experiment - the gel needed to grow and test mammary epithelial cells - wouldn't be available for nearly a year because of pandemic-related production issues. So, she and her adviser, professor Ryan Stowers, decided to pivot: Baude would engineer her own gel to study cells.
