  • Cell-specific circadian disruption in Alzheimer's Disease Wednesday, August 6, 2025
    A team led by Ron Anafi, M.D., Ph.D. used single-nucleus RNA sequencing combined with mathematical modeling in human brain and discovered dampened daily cycling of ribosomal/metabolic genes from brains of Alzheimer's patients. The reduced cycling indicates disruption of protein production machinery, and subsequent disturbance of cellular clocks. The results suggest that breaking this loop and restoring circadian rhythms may slow the progression of Alzheimer's Disease. Results were published in Neuron. Congratulations! 
  • Sleepiness matters: Daytime sleepiness linked to higher mortality risk in middle-aged women Friday, June 13, 2025

    Indira Gurubhagavatula, MD, MPH, comments for Medscape on the finding that excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is associated with a higher mortality risk from any cause in middle-aged women. While the mechanism is unknown, EDS can interfere with normal daily function and needs further study.
