Rice University scientists built an algorithm that pinpoints the specific #brain cells genetically linked to #Alzheimers. Keep progress moving—join @alzassociation & #VoteYesOnAlz14 to bring hope to Texans impacted by dementia.

Recent research from Rice suggests that the protein clumps linked to Parkinson’s disease do not simply accumulate in brain cells; rather, they actively degrade the ATP energy molecule, which may contribute to neurodegeneration. #DPRIT https://t.co/BdzUie4SYe
Rice engineers & @MethodistHosp are developing a soft, wearable “sleep cap” to monitor & boost deep sleep — key to protecting the brain from dementia. The project highlight's Rice’s support for the Dementia Prevention Research Institute of Texas. #DPRIT

Had a great meeting today with @SecJaneNelson discussing issues concerning #Texas — and especially lessons learned from when she crafted and perfected #CPRIT. This session, we are writing legislation for #DPRIT, which would follow the exact same model.
A meeting isn’t successful if there’s no fun is involved — so we recreated the oldest known photo of this room of the Secretary of State’s office, sitting at the same antique table and overseeing the same antique desk!
The SoS office is a treasure trove!
🔬 Whether at the benchtop or at the bedside, the scientists at the @UT_Dallas School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences aim to play an important role in the fight against dementia. 🧠

Exciting frontier for dementia research in Texas!
LIstening now to @TomCraddick2
@joanhuffman @DrGregBonnen @RepJohnZerwas at @utsystem Brain Research Summit discussing #DPRIT.
Still needs to pass legislature and then voted on by the people, but tremendous hope for the future

Lt. Gov. @DanPatrick announces a major Texas Initiative to combat Dementia by proposing #DPRIT, a Constitutional voter-approved fund working with Sen. @JoanHuffman and Rep. @TomCraddick2.
Almost every Texas Family has suffered from some form of Dementia in the past and present, so I'm sure their interest will be intense in what #txlege can do for the future of fighting this pervasive disease!
