  • More than 7 million Americans live with Alzheimer’s today, and researchers project that number will rise to 13 million by 2050, doubling the burden on families
  • Researchers at the Jackson Laboratory (JAX) discovered twisted, narrowed retinal vessels in mice carrying a common gene mutation, showing changes that resemble early Alzheimer’s signs years before memory decline begins
