June is Alzheimer and Brain Awareness Month, an event dedicated to raising awareness about Alzheimer disease (AD), educating others, and promoting patient advocacy for patients living with the condition. One notable issue in the field gaining attention is the risk of AD among patients in racial and ethnic minority groups as well as their lack of representation of these populations in AD research.

Three exceptional researchers have been honored with the Dean’s Early Career Research Excellence Awards. These awards recognize outstanding contributions and accomplishments by early-career scholars
A team of scientists – including UC Irvine’s Distinguished Professor of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology Brandon Gaut and UC Davis’ Professors of Viticulture & Enology Dario Cantù and Andy Walker – has made a significant breakthrough in the battle against a devastating disease affecting grapevines. Their study, recently published in Communications Biology, reveals the discovery of candidate genes for disease resistance in wild grape plants, offering hope for the future of the agriculture industry.
University of California, Irvine neuroscientists probing the gene changes behind Alzheimer’s disease have developed a process of making a “meta-cell” that overcomes the challenges of studying a single cell. Their technique has already revealed important new information and can be used to study other diseases throughout the body.
