These samples derive from the SPRINT trial, one of the largest and most comprehensive clinical studies focusing on intensive blood pressure management and its effects on overall health. Now, a groundbreaking initiative, fueled by a substantial $21.6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, aims to delve deep into these frozen reservoirs to unmask the intricate biological connections tying hypertension to brain health, with an emphasis on Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. https://scienmag.com/21-6m-grant-fuels-research-exploring-connections-between-hypertension-alzheimers-and-dementia/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=jetpack_social
