For those who are not aware of it, The Roskamp Institute issued another BRAIN WAVES newsletter dated Summer 2017 Vol. 2.
Two articles caught my attention, "New grants to boost brain research" and "Medical Research: What should I believe?"
The first announced that The Roskamp Institute has received two rercent grants from the Dept. of Defense, each for 3 years duration, that total nearly $1.6 million. "The first grant will support the work of Drs. Abdullah and Crawford for a project entititled "Lipidomics for Identifying APOE4-Associated Biomarkers of AD-Related Cognitive Decline in TBI."
"The second grant will continue to fund work by Drs. Ojo and Crawford on "Novel Therapeutic Target Identification Through Analysis of Convergent AD and TBI Pathogenic Mechanisms."
The second article I latched onto was titled "Medical Research: What Should I Believe?" by Dr. Cheryl Brandi. It makes the point that there are a lot of junk medical claims out there, and that the best medical claims are most likely found in the published, peer reviewed articles in recognized and respected medical journals. I picked up on this because it has been stated that the NILVAD Phase 3 results will be peer reviewed and published by a recognized and respected medical journal. Dr. Brandi's article, then, indirectly emphasizes the validity of the soon to be released results of the Phase 3 NILVAD Study.
Lot of good stuff here!
