Several categorizations are developed based on the parameters such as severity (mild, moderate, or severe), onset time (late-onset, or early-onset), and inflammatory response (inflammatory, non-inflammatory, or cortical). | | | | |  The APOE gene, the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, may play a more prominent role in disease development among women than men, according to new research from the Vanderbilt Memory and Alzheimer's Center. | | | | |  After a decade of work, a team led by Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont researcher and Université de Montréal associate professor Dr. Gilbert Bernier has shed promising light on the origin of the most common and prevalent form of Alzheimer's disease, hoping to someday help mitigate or even reverse the progress of the disease. | | | | |  Alzheimer's disease is a neuropsychological ailment characterized by progressive degeneration of neurons, which results in dementia and mental impairment. | | | | |  A study conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has identified why the ApoE4 gene increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, and why the ApoE3 gene reduces the risk. | |
