Equipping houses with sensors and monitors costs less than the monthly cost of a care home. It would also reduce anxiety and relieve pressure on hospitals

How understanding inflammation could transform treatments from cancer to Alzheimer’s.

A new study, co-led by neuroscientists at King’s College London, University College London and the UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI), will investigate how neurons can protect themselves from toxic protein accumulation, with implications for neurodegenerative diseases and ageing.

Markers of a new mechanism for cell death, called karyoptosis, have been found in brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Researchers hope the work will help identify affordable, effective drugs to treat conditions like MND.
