They’re tiny particles — with potentially huge human consequences. Researchers at Aarhus University have uncovered a flaw in how cells form what are known as exosomes, and this defect is…
A research team at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC) in Brazil has created a new chemical compound that may offer a promising way to treat Alzheimer’s disease. Their work…
Researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University have turned to concepts from polymer physics to better understand a central feature of Alzheimer’s disease: the formation of tau protein fibrils. Their work revealed…
In Alzheimer’s disease, the most common cause of dementia, microglia (the brain’s immune cells) play a double role. They can protect the brain by clearing harmful debris or, under certain…
Alzheimer’s disease often throws a person’s daily patterns into disarray. Difficulty sleeping through the night, restless tossing, and frequent daytime naps are common early warning signs. In later stages, patients…
Disrupting communication between the body’s internal clock and the brain could help limit neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease, according to new research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis…
Scientists at the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have created a pioneering brain imaging method that captures…
Exposure to high concentrations of air pollution may worsen Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by accelerating the buildup of toxic proteins in the brain and speeding up cognitive decline. For the first…
A simple brainwave test developed at the University of Bath has been shown to detect signs of memory impairment linked to Alzheimer’s disease years before clinical diagnosis is typically possible.…
One of the first parts of the brain affected by Alzheimer’s disease is the entorhinal cortex — a region that plays a big role in memory, spatial navigation, and the…
