According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 100,000 deaths from overdose were reported from April 2020 to April 2021 alone. Data shows an increase in overdoses due to natural and semi-synthetic opioids, synthetic opioids, predominantly fentanyl, and psychostimulants, such as methamphetamine or cocaine. In fact, in the year ending in April 2021, fentanyl was the lea ...

A. Overview While there are thousands of rare diseases, the number of underlying etiologies is much smaller. Moreover, many disease etiologies underlie multiple traditional diseases. This is most readily seen for rare monogenic diseases, where the most common etiologies include premature termination codons, protein misfolding, and abnormal RNA splicing. Other examples of rare disease shared molec ...

Background A biomarker is a defined characteristic that is measured as an indicator of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or responses to an exposure or intervention, including therapeutic interventions. Biomarker modalities are diverse, and can include ‘omics, imaging, behavioral, digital and physiologic endpoints, as well as composite biomarkers or biomarker signatures. Becaus ...

Recommendations and milestones for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) research from the National Alzheimer’s Project Act and the 2015, 2018, 2019, and 2021 Alzheimer's Disease Research Summits present a wide range of research and development proposals which, if pursued, have the potential to reduce the human burden and healthcare costs associated with AD/ADRD. As part of t ...
