Research supported by a Knight Initiative Catalyst Grant explores whether targeting pathways related to the brain’s “chill-out” system could restore youthful resilience and improve cognitive function.

Study in mice, supported by the Knight Initiative, suggests that an experimental cancer drug boosted brain metabolism, restored memory, and improved Alzheimer's symptoms. This novel approach may offer a new way to treat Alzheimer's beyond targeting amyloid plaques.

Research by Kati Andreasson and colleagues suggests that a type of drug developed for treating cancer may hold promise as a new treatment for neurodegenerati

A drug that restores brain metabolism in mouse models of Alzheimer's also improved cognitive function, according to research from the Andreasson lab.
