In it to Wnt it–CCrish lab identifies Wnt signaling deficits in bone and brain of Alzheimer’s model mice
Exciting research from the CCrish Lab has uncovered a potential mechanistic link between two rather unsuspecting partners: low bone mineral density (BMD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Low BMD and osteoporosis occur at twice the rate in AD patients–a relationship that is mistakenly attributed to the coincidence of aging, late-stage disease-induced immobility, or because post-menopausal women are …
