Boosting a certain brain protein could help slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, a new study has found. The ...

The findings have been described as "cool" and "exciting", as they give new ideas for treating the disease. It is the loss of brain cells, called neurons, that lead to the symptoms of Alzheimer's ...

An analysis of more than 1.6 million brain cells from older adults has captured the cellular changes that occur in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, potentially revealing new routes for ...

A study of 1.6 million brain cells revealed early cellular changes in Alzheimer's and intervention opportunities, using ...

They fight invaders, clear debris and tend neural connections, but sometimes microglia go rogue. Preventing this malfunction ...

special glial cells in the brain also produce amyloid beta. This finding, published in Nature Neuroscience, could open up new ...

Imagine a world where Alzheimer's disease could be effectively treated, not just managed. We might be one step closer to that ...

Alzheimer’s disease slowly takes over the mind. Long before symptoms occur, brain cells are gradually losing their function. Eventually they wither away, eroding brain networks that store memories.

Scientists have developed new potential therapies that selectively remove aggregated tau proteins, which are associated with Alzheimer's disease, and improve symptoms of neurodegeneration in mice.

With powerful tools that identify the active genes in individual cells, scientists have gained new insights into the changes that occur in the brain during aging, and as Alzheimer's disease is ...

Learn how the MIND diet can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's by up to 53%, according to recent research. Discover the best ...

Another discounted factor why women are more prone to developing Alzheimer’s is that on an average, they live longer than men ...
