New research has linked levels of vitamin D in midlife with toxic tangles of tau protein that accumulate in the brains of ...

The origins of Alzheimer's remain contentious, but a new study suggests the disease may emerge as two key proteins compete ...

In A Nutshell Scientists reprogrammed skin cells from children with Sanfilippo syndrome into lab-grown brain cells and found ...

Alzheimer’s isn’t just one problem—it’s a tangled mix of biology, aging, and overall health. That’s why drugs targeting a single factor have fallen short, even as new treatments show modest benefits.

How does Alzheimer’s target specific brain cells? Researchers are building a multiscale model of the hippocampus to map neuronal loss and cognitive decline.

A research team led by Professor Jiwon Um from the Center for Synapse Diversity and Specificity at DGIST has discovered a ...

New research from UAB reveals how tau seeds spread through connected neurons in Alzheimer’s disease. Findings show that ...

With a new model of the brain region essential to memory formation, from cells to whole-brain networks, the team hopes to ...

Summary: For decades, scientists have known that the protein tau acts like a wildfire in the brain, leaping from region to ...

Brain immune cells may be responsible for the formation of Alzheimer's plaques, revealing a key turning point in this neurological disease.

AS we age, brain cells face increasing challenges from inflammation, oxidative stress, reduced blood flow, and the buildup of ...

Surprising way cancer cells clear problematic proteins in the brain For some time, we've known that it's rare to see people with both cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Now, scientists believe they may ...
