Prevalence and Impact of AD. AD is the most common cause of dementia in people l 65 years and older. Affects 10% of people over the age of 65 and 50% of people over the age of 85. Approximately 4 million AD patients i in the United States. Annual treatment costs = $100 billion. AD is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.

Postdoc Profile | Koning Shen The NIH K99 Award: Smoothing the Way from Postdoc to Researcher By Kirsten Mickelwait Koning Shen One of the most coveted prizes in an academic career is the NIH K99 Pathway to Independence Award from the National Institute on Aging. In 2021, Koning Shen—currently a sixth-year postdoc in the Dillin Lab—received the prestigious award, which has supported her as she navigates the path from postdoc to independent researcher.
The role of quality control in preventing neurodegenerative disease While dissecting the molecular mechanism of ubiquitin chain formation, we discovered functions for the first atypical ubiquitin chain, i.e. K11-linked conjugates, and for the first heterotypic chain, i.e. K11/K48-branched conjugates ( Jin et al., Cell 2008 ; Meyer et al., Cell 2014 ).
The polymorphism 3175G is associated with a four-fold risk of hypertriglyceridemia and is linked to an increased risk of heart attack, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.” (emphasis mine – fdu) PubMed Risks appear to be increasing with time: Breast cancer risk by age 50 among mutation carriers born before 1940 was 24%, but among those born after 1940 it was 67%.
Aug 25, 2024 · How these pathways are regulated under different conditions and in different cell types remain to be determined. Furthermore, alterations in lipid droplet abundance are associated with a wide variety of diseases. Indeed, the accumulation of large hepatic lipid droplets is the pathological hallmark of fatty liver disease.
Our lab discovers and dissects essential pathways of human cell fate decisions. We aspire to turn our mechanistic understanding into innovative treatment options for neurodegenerative disease, centered on the therapeutic modality of induced protein degradation that was spearheaded by us. We are specifically interested in postdoctoral fellows ...
ing Alzheimer’s disease and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease of the ageing mind character-ized by a decline in cognitive and behavioural functioning, and in particular learning and memory. There are, at present, no treatments for Alzheimer’s disease that can stop or reverse
