Our team is very proud to develop our teacher formation course on brain health, ageing and dementia, as a result of our #GBHI pilot project. @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social @labenufscar.bsky.social @ufscar.bsky.social @atlanticfellows.bsky.social #arise #envelheciencia #EducationForAll

Frequency of care mediates the effect of older adults’ cognitive performance on the perceived strain of their informal caregivers in a middle-income country - Lucas Nogueira de Carvalho Pelegrini, Tam... Background and Objectives: As low and middle-income countries face a rapid increase in their older adult populations, the demand for informal caregiving is expe...

New @laben paper out! We found that more caregiving days per week = more burden, regardless of how many hours are spent each day.

Exploring the connection between dementia and cardiovascular risk with a focus on ADAM10 Alzheimer's disease (AD) represents a leading cause of dementia, characterized by progressive cognitive and functional decline. Although extensive res…

🧠🫀 Our new paper: "ADAM10 links cardiovascular risk factors to Alzheimer’s via APP non-amyloidogenic processing," discusses how cardiovascular risk factors can impair APP processing through ADAM10 dysregulation @ufscar.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Yesterday, we were still at it until 8:30 PM, revising our cognitive evaluation protocol - because science demands precision, and we owe it to the people who will benefit from our findings.
Collaboration, resilience, and passion drive us! Let’s keep pushing forward!

Label-free ADAM10 capacitive assay for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease This study demonstrates a quantum capacitance-based approach using a peptide-redox-active interface modified with Ab1 and Ab2 ADAM10 isoform antibodie…

We developed a sensitive, label-free diagnostic method using ADAM10, paving the way for portable, point-of-care devices for Alzheimer’s detection. #alzheimers #diagnosis @ufscar.bsky.social @labenufscar.bsky.social 👉https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0925400524019385?dgcid=coauthor

Fighting Alzheimer's with science and empathy - Science Arena Brazilian biologist is leading research that seeks to develop a simple, less invasive method for diagnosing the disease that affects her mother

Science Arena featured some of my research alongside my mom’s diagnosis. I’m sharing this to raise awareness and help break the stigma around Alzheimer’s. She’s truly amazing and living well, despite the disease. 🥰🧠♥️
