Air pollution and ALS: a big, multiomics look at risk and progression
A Swedish study will explore whether air pollution and infections influence the risk and progression of ALS, using life-long health data and biological samples.
-
Eating Disorders Genetics Initiative 2 (EDGI2) to understand and improve care for people with eating disorders
A large international study to find genetic factors linked to eating disorders, with the goal of informing better diagnosis and treatment for people affected by these conditions.
-
Common medicines that might prevent Alzheimer's in older adults
This project looks at whether medicines commonly taken by people aged 65 and older can slow aging processes and reduce Alzheimer’s-related changes.
-
Air pollution, infections, and links to ALS
Researchers will look for links between air pollution, past infections, and biological changes in people with ALS and similar controls to understand whether pollution may trigger or worsen ALS.
-
Improving Balance and Posture After Spinal Cord Injury
This work explores how spinal cord injuries affect balance and posture, aiming to find ways to help people regain these abilities.
-
Understanding how the cochlear aqueduct changes with age
This study is looking at how the cochlear aqueduct, a tiny passage in the ear, changes as we get older and how we might use it to deliver treatments for hearing loss, using special imaging techniques in older mice.
-
Investigating the genetics of eating disorders
This study is looking for 20,000 people to help us understand how genetics might play a role in different eating disorders, like anorexia and binge-eating, so we can learn more about these conditions and include voices from all communities.
-
Investigating how air pollution may increase the risk of ALS.
This study is looking into how air pollution might be connected to ALS, using health records and samples from people with the condition in Sweden, to see if things like infections and changes in the body could play a role in how ALS starts and progresses.
-
Targeting opioid systems to treat alcohol dependence
This study is looking at how alcohol dependence affects the brain's opioid system and is testing a new drug called CERC-501 to see if it can help people who are trying to overcome alcohol use disorder.
-
Finding new uses for existing drugs to prevent Alzheimer's disease
This study is looking at whether some everyday medications can help prevent Alzheimer's disease in older adults by finding out if they can ease symptoms and slow down the disease, using safe drugs that are already on the market.
-
Investigating how environmental and genetic factors contribute to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder
This study looks at how things like growing up in a city or facing tough times as a child might affect the chances of developing schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, and how these factors mix with our genes; it's designed to help us find better ways to prevent and treat these conditions.
