In the quest to cure Alzheimer's, the protein known as beta-amyloid has long taken center stage, driving development of a ...

Researchers have identified a protein that links brain immune activity, metabolism, and amyloid clearance, suggesting a new ...

A protein long implicated in diabetes and obesity may hold the key to treating Alzheimer’s disease by reinvigorating the brain’s immune system. New research suggests that blocking this protein, known ...

Amyloid fibrils appear in many neurodegenerative diseases, and scientists are eager to understand how they form and spread. But amyloids—clumped aggregations of misfolded proteins—can be difficult to ...

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a condition where protein (called amyloid) builds up in the brain, making blood vessels weak. People with CAA are four times more likely to develop dementia within ...

Researchers found that a good night’s sleep may help the brain clear proteins tied to Alzheimer’s.

A protein notorious for its role in Alzheimer’s disease may hold the key to supercharging the aging immune system, according to new research. Scientists have found that a byproduct of amyloid-beta ...

Lilly Biotechnology Center in San Diego, Calif. Senior Correspondent On July 2, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a new drug for treating Alzheimer’s disease. Donanemab, or Kisunla, ...

Alzheimer's disease is often measured in statistics: millions affected worldwide, cases rising sharply, costs climbing into ...

Everything we thought we knew about Alzheimer’s disease might be wrong. Scientists at the University of Cincinnati have just dropped a bombshell that’s making waves in the medical community. It turns ...

A new study has found that light therapy applied to mice during deep sleep increased the brain’s ability to clear away beta-amyloid, a toxic protein linked to the development of Alzheimer’s disease.

Illustration showing Alzheimer's disease affecting the hippocampus. Alzheimer's is a neurodegenerative disease that causes the loss of brain tissue. This leads to the progressive and irreversible loss ...
