			Impaired blood flow to brain regions linked with tau buildup in Alzheimer’s disease In Alzheimer’s disease, impaired blood flow to brain regions coincides with tau protein buildup. This relationship strengthens as cognition declines, according to new research published in JNeurosci.

	Anxiety may help to progress Alzheimer’s disease The results of a new study reveal the link between increased levels of anxiety and an elevated rate of progression to Alzheimer's disease.

	A new potential therapy for Alzheimer's disease A new potential therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease has been discovered by US researchers based at Case Western Reserve University.

	Researchers receive $2.6 million grant to examine tau-glycan interactions involved in Alzheimer's disease Tangles of misfolded tau proteins in the brain are closely associated with memory loss in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
