New research from the Salk Institute shows that the experimental Alzheimer’s drug J147 has a host of unexpected anti-aging effects in animals. The Salk team…
Using a new technique based on dynamic nuclear polarization, scientists hope to gain more insight into protein structure and function. Proteins can fold in different…
In a newly published study, biologists from MIT detail how a yeast protein may lead to anti-amyloid therapeutic opportunities. Fibrous protein clumps known as amyloids…
New research sheds light on a fundamental mechanism underlying the development of Alzheimer’s disease and could lead to new forms of therapy people with the…
New research from Yale University shows lysosomes, the “garbage disposal” systems of cells, can fail and perhaps contribute to Alzheimer’s disease. Lysosomes, the “garbage disposal”…
A newly published study from UC Berkeley reveals a new pathway through which Alzheimer’s disease may cause memory decline later in life. University of California,…
New research from Yale University reveals that the experimental cancer drug AZD05030 blocks damage triggered during the formation of amyloid-beta plaques, restoring synaptic connections and…
New research from Rush University Medical Center shows that the MIND diet could significantly lower a person’s risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. A new diet,…
New research in the battle against Alzheimer’s shows that brain immune cells (called microglia) seem to protect the brain by keeping amyloid plaques corralled, and…
A newly published study details how a new MRI probe that pairs a magnetic nanostructure with an antibody can detect Alzheimer’s disease early. Evanston, Illinois…
A new study from the Berkeley Lab reveals that proper copper levels are essential to the health of a brain at rest and suggests that…
A new study shows that a noninvasive arterial spin labeling MRI can detect signs of cognitive decline in the brain even before symptoms appear, finding…
A newly published study reveals a new drug compound that inhibits the negative effects of a protein called STtriatal-Enriched tyrosine Phosphatase and reverses the brain…
In a newly published study, scientists at the University of California show the ability to selectively remove a memory and predictably reactivate it by stimulating…
In a newly published study, neurobiologists reveal age-related changes that help to answer key questions about Alzheimer’s disease. With advancing age, highly-evolved brain circuits become…
Scientists have discovered that a substance called N-acetylglucosamine has the ability to enhance defense mechanisms against neurodegenerative diseases, clear toxic protein aggregates and extend life…
Researchers at the University of Leeds have developed a biosensor that can detect very small quantities of amyloid-beta clusters, which could open the door to…
