Alzheimer's disease progression linked to microglia fat metabolism, potential new treatment target identified in recent study ...

A surprising new study has uncovered over 200 misfolded proteins in the brains of aging rats with cognitive decline, beyond the infamous amyloid and tau plaques long blamed for Alzheimer’s. These ...

A team of neuroscientists in Australia has found that restoring copper levels in the brain dramatically reduced Parkinson-like damage in mice. The approach restored a protein’s function, and the same ...

They were designed to treat diabetes, then prescribed for weight loss, and now—as researchers are finding—they might hold the ...

Researchers have published a paper in Alzheimer's & Dementia, titled "ApoE3 Christchurch and tau interaction as a protective ...

Scientists at UCSF combined advanced brain-network modeling, genetics, and imaging to reveal how tau protein travels through ...

The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) plays a pivotal role in the activation of myeloid cells and is currently being investigated as a potential therapeutic target in several ...

We spoke to the first author of a new study that could challenge much of what we thought we knew about Alzheimer’s disease.

The findings of two recent studies give hope that the disease could one day be reversed in humans—but experts warn that this ...

Nerves look blue in the reconstructed view of a genetically engineered mouse (left) whose neurons produce a fluorescent ...

Using brain gene expression maps from the Allen Human Brain Atlas, the researchers tested the degree to which Alzheimer’s risk genes explain the patterns of both actual and residual tau. This allowed ...

It's been recognized for some time that Alzheimer's disease affects brain regions differently and that tau—a protein known to ...
