Research to unveil the mystery of
human development and complex diseases
Research highlight
Metabolomic biomarkers andÂ
childhood executive function
This study suggests that genetically-determined metabolism and, in particular, leucine may be responsible for effects on child cognitive regulation skills, thus dietary interventions may be less efficacious for cognitive development than suggested by previous studies.
Sleep and Alzheimer's disease
We found no evidence that sleep-related characteristics caused Alzheimer's disease. But people with twice the genetic risk of Alzheimer's had a 1% lower risk of insomnia. (Neurology. 2020)
Cardiac and aortic imaging
from a population-based study
Our study illustrates how population-based cardiac and aortic imaging phenotypes can be used to better define cardiovascular disease risks as well as heart-brain health interactions, highlighting new opportunities for studying disease mechanisms and developing image-based biomarkers.
