Alzheimer’s Researcher Looks to Bone Density for Answer

Starting with a clue from naked mole rats, Christine Dengler-Crish, Ph.D., assistant professor of pharmaceutical sciences as well as anatomy and neurobiology at NEOMED, is now looking to find a connection between bone density and Alzheimer’s disease. She recently spoke with WKSU’s Jeff St. Clair about thinking outside the box to research parts of the brain not commonly associated with Alzheimer’s—one of the neurodegenerative diseases studied by NEOMED scientists.
