Scientists have identified a potential new target for treating Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. The discovery promises to halt or even reverse the disease process. Alzheimer's disease ...

Weill Cornell Medicine scientists have developed an innovative human neuron model that robustly simulates the spread of tau protein aggregates in the brain - a process that drives cognitive decline in ...

A breakthrough in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease may have been made in Seattle. Researchers at the Allen Institute have discovered an early sign of the disease before the first symptom appears.

A sequence of stress signals among specialized clean-up cells in the brain could at last reveal why some immune responses can cause significant nerve degeneration that results in the loss of memory, ...

A new review highlights five major ways microplastics can harm the brain, raising concerns that they may worsen ...

High levels of calcium are toxic to cells and contribute to loss of neurons in Alzheimer's disease. A new study published in ...

A study of cells from 84 cadaver brains suggests that Alzheimer's has two distinct phases, and that one type of neuron is especially vulnerable. "There's an early phase where there's a very slow ...
