Dementia with Lewy bodies
Using stem cells and specialised chambers to unravel dementia
Researchers at the University of Manchester are using sophisticated chambers to monitor how toxic proteins spread in dementia and the complex relationship between brain cells and their blood supply.
Treating hearing loss in people at a high risk of dementia
Researchers at the University College London are developing a pilot trial to ensure people with hearing loss and mild cognitive dementia start and continue to use hearing aids. They will follow-up to evaluate its effectiveness in reducing the risk of dementia.
Can we get higher risk adults to eat well and exercise?
Researchers at the University of East Anglia are exploring the effects of exercise and Mediterranean style diet on dementia risk
Building a tool to predict dementia risk
Researchers at the University of Manchester are developing a tool that could be used to identify people who would benefit from early preventative measures and develop personalised information to help individuals reduce their risk of dementia.
Can we reduce the risk of dementia in the over 75’s?
Researchers at the University of Cambridge are exploring an whether an internet based intervention could encourage healthy lifestyle changes in people aged over 75, who are at a higher risk of developing dementia.
Exploring how changes in brain connectivity underlie symptoms in dementia with Lewy bodies
Researchers in Newcastle are using brain scans to better understand what causes the varied symptoms of dementia with Lewy bodies.
Can a new technology that non-invasively measures low levels of toxic proteins be used to detect neurodegenerative diseases at the earliest stages?
2015 Biomarkers Across Neurodegenerative Diseases Grant
Investigating the molecular processes that lead to dementia with Lewy bodies
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh are looking at how toxic protein clumps are formed in dementia with Lewy bodies.
How the immune system responds to proteins that cause Alzheimer’s and dementia with Lewy Bodies
A researcher with a background in veterinary medicine will apply her expertise to the role of the immune system in Alzheimer’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies.
