| |  Rutgers neuroscientist Peng Jiang was visiting his hometown of Qianshan, a city in China's Anhui province, when a neighbor came to his parents' house with a story that would stay with him. | |
|
| |  Imaging findings reveal lecanemab's early impact on amyloid plaques does not extend to glymphatic activity, highlighting challenges in Alzheimer's treatment. | |
|
| |  Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have clarified how spermine - a small molecule that regulates many processes in the body's cells - can guard against diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's: it renders certain proteins harmless by acting a bit like cheese on noodles, making them clump together. | |
|
| |  "Drains" in the brain, responsible for clearing toxic waste in the organ, tend to get clogged up in people who show signs of developing Alzheimer's disease, a study by researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has discovered. | |
|
| |  Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline such as memory loss and behavioral disturbances that severely impair quality of life. Despite decades of research, effective disease-modifying therapies remain elusive, underscoring the urgent need for novel neuroprotective strategies. | |
|
| |  More than a century ago, Alois Alzheimer noted unusual changes in brain fats, which he described as "lipoid granules," along with the buildup of amyloid-beta (amyloid) plaques and tau protein tangles. | |
|
| |  We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (TRM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease. | |
|
| |  Older women who follow a strongly anti-inflammatory Mediterranean diet report far fewer subjective memory complaints than those who do not. The AnMED pattern outperforms both traditional Mediterranean and MIND diets, showing a clear advantage for protecting early cognitive symptoms. | |
|
| |  Scientists have uncovered a surprising mechanism by which a brain enzyme called OTULIN controls the expression of tau, the protein that forms toxic tangles in Alzheimer's disease. | |
|
| |  Lecanemab, sold under the name Leqembi, is a monoclonal antibody therapy for Alzheimer's disease that clears toxic amyloid plaques and delays cognitive decline. | |
|
| |  A new research paper was published in Volume 17, Issue 10 of Aging-US on October 13, 2025, titled "Hospitalization with infections and risk of Dementia: a systematic review and meta-analysis." | |
|
| |  Individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD) - a constricting or blocking of blood vessels feeding the heart - face increased risks of strokes, cognitive impairment and dementia. However, the link between CAD and cognitive function is not fully understood. | |
|
| |  Getting treatment within one week of a serious head injury can reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease by up to 41%, according to new research from Case Western Reserve University. | |
