U-M researchers have connected two blood biomarkers to changes in cognitive function in women in midlife, opening a potentially powerful path to noninvasive, earlier detection and interventions for Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

A thriving environment depends on engaging people in its stewardship, says Kris Sarri, MPH ’97. She has spent two decades in Washington, D.C., where her commitment to public health weaves together environmental protection and community development.

Cumulative recurring costs for a midsize SUV across platforms — traditional gasoline, hybrid and electric — are higher in some cities when taking key factors into account: financing, annual fees, insurance, maintenance, repairs and fuel costs.

The Dec. 8 United Nations Security Council veto by the U.S. government about the Hamas-Israel ceasefire illustrates the horrific failure of the UN to prevent war — which is the primary responsibility of the organization according to its charter, says U-M professor.

Experts working in artificial intelligence, from technological to public policy roles, discuss the critical turning point we are experiencing in AI and what it means for the future

Metabolism pathways make tumors sensitive or resistant to treatments. A collaborative group of U-M scientists is leveraging these avenues to explore the growing foundation of new potential therapies.

This proven and peer-led mental wellness program, created by a U-M scientist (and WW success story), seeks to help people who shun or can’t afford traditional therapy. Like the popular weight-loss program, it’s community-based, inexpensive, and — best of all — scaling up.

People diagnosed with dementia saw their out-of-pocket spending for health care more than double, and their net worth decline by more than 60 percent, within the first eight years of being diagnosed, according to U-M researchers. Peers without dementia didn’t see much change in either financial measure in that time.

The U-M neuroscientist is the eighth faculty member to receive the nation’s highest scientific honor. Her work contributes to the understanding of depression, anxiety, and addiction by delving into the genes, proteins, and cells that help govern human emotions and moods, and responses to pleasure and pain.
