A new study shows that truncated versions of the Tau protein are more likely to form the sticky filaments seen in the brains of people…
Experiments involving mice showed four weeks of training with weights to be sufficient to reverse behavioral and physical alterations characteristic of the disease. Regular physical…
What determines whether an individual will develop Alzheimer’s disease, and why do many with the disease’s characteristic toxic amyloid accumulations in the brain never exhibit…
New insights into how blood makes the brain’s immune cells toxic point to new therapeutic strategies for Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis. In individuals suffering…
Researchers at the Paris Brain Institute have discovered a significant role for the amyloid precursor protein (APP) in regulating human brain development. APP, commonly associated…
Research on mouse neurons reveals a new therapeutic role of removing a genetic variant for Alzheimer’s disease treatment. A National Institute on Aging-funded study reveals…
New research has demonstrated that impaired myelin actively promotes disease-related changes in Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease, an irreversible e type of dementia, is the most…
