Dementia, the main type of which is Alzheimer’s disease, affects about 50 million people worldwide.
According to the Alzheimer’s Association, over 5 million people in the United States are living with Alzheimer’s.
This number is expected to reach 14 million by 2050.
For this reason, it is becoming more and more important to diagnose these health conditions earlier, and to locate new targets for drugs to slow down or prevent the condition.
