Small Molecule Humanin Mimetics and Enhancers That Normalize Neuronal p-AKT as Novel Therapeutics for Alzheimer's Disease (UCLA Case No. 2023-230)
UCLA researchers in the Department of Neurology have discovered novel small molecule humanin mimetics for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other chronic conditions with dysregulated p-Akt. BACKGROUND: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia accounting for 60-70% of all cases. Nearly 7 million Americans are living...

Neuropsychological digital assessment test that identifies discrete latencies in response time to identify emergent neurological/nueropsychiatric illness
TechnologyDeclining cognitive health is increasing in the U.S and worldwide. Early detection of impairment is crucial to altering the course of disease. Many cognitive assessments have previously focused on early memory defects, such as those associated with Alzheimer’s, and it is now evident that focused deficits accumulate over several decades...
