Alzheimer’s Disease takes hundreds of thousands of lives every year, affecting 47 million people worldwide. But so far, no amount of urgency, nor billions…
Researchers in Florida have pinpointed a protein that contributes to Alzheimer’s biomarker tau protein accumulation in the brain. They argue it may be a…
Pulling an all-nighter or getting fewer hours of sleep than normal may have more consequences than simply suffering fatigue during the work day. According…
Much of Alzheimer’s research has focused on beta-amyloid plaques, one of the main drivers behind neurodegeneration in people with dementia. But more and more…
With repeated drug failures to treat Alzheimer’s disease in recent years, scientists are racing to find a vaccine to prevent the disease from evolving….
An Alzheimer’s drug that attacks tau proteins is now being moved into new clinical trials in the U.S. and Europe, according to Singapore-based pharmaceutical…
In a new study published in JAMA Neurology, researchers reported the first results of an initial basket trial for neurodegenerative diseases. The trial brings…
Recent studies suggest that an eye test could reveal how likely a person is to develop Alzheimer’s disease (AD) later in life. Scientists at…
Frequently napping during the day may be a sign of fatigue or growing older, but a new study suggests it may also be a…
Tau protein tangles, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease, develop differently in women than in men, and spread faster and more easily in women. This…
While not every elderly person develops Alzheimer’s, age is a risk factor for the disease. Currently, one in 10 people over the age of…
For the first time, researchers have determined that a molecule called VPS35 can clear tau proteins, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease, in the brain….
Among people with the Alzheimer’s gene, women are at greater risk of developing tau tangles, a hallmark of the disease, than men are. The…
University of New Mexico researchers say they’ve developed a working Alzheimer’s vaccine in mice. According to the report, published in NPJ Vaccines, the team…
Tau protein tangles (or neurofibrillary tangles) are a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease, but what role do they play? First, you need to understand how…
