Researchers have reversed memory loss in aging mice by targeting a protein that builds up in brain cells, pointing toward a potential pathway to counter the cognitive declines of aging. In a new study ...

One in three families knows someone living with memory loss, and late-onset Alzheimer’s disease affects tens of millions worldwide. The strongest common genetic risk factor is APOE: the E4 isoform ...

Cedars-Sinai researchers created “young” immune cells from human stem cells that reversed cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice. The treated animals showed better memory and healthier ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new player in Alzheimer’s disease: a protein called CSE that helps produce tiny ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes. The deficits linked to AD are known to result from the ...

Using an experimental drug called FP802, researchers blocked the protein pair from binding and saw effects of the disease—such as cell death —slow significantly. According to the research team, future ...
