Info For...

The Research Division at the Garrison Institute on Aging is focused on asking and answering some important questions about age-related diseases, especially Alzheimer's disease. Some of these questions include: Why do nerve cells die and what, if any, role do blood vessels play in the development of progression of Alzheimer's disease? Does the loss of testosterone in men contribute to Alzheimer's disease? What are the mechanisms that lead to testosterone decline in aging males? Can anti-inflammatory drug therapies benefit Alzheimer's patients? Can antipsychotic drugs, which are used to treat Alzheimer's disease, affect antibiotic treatment of urinary tract infections? Does rural community residence or Hispanic/Latino heritage influence the development of Alzheimer's disease and other chronic conditions of aging?
