For decades, scientists have been trying to develop therapeutics for people living with Alzheimer’s disease, a progressive ...

Discover how dopamine’s unexpected role in breaking down harmful plaques could revolutionize Alzheimer's treatment and ...

Immune cells in the brain called microglia can partially break down large amyloid plaques characteristic of Alzheimer's ...

One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease is the formation of protein plaques and tangles between nerve cells. These are made of so-called beta-amyloid fragments that stick together and accumulate ...

Microglia can partially break down amyloid plaques by "spitting" a digestive enzyme at them, a new study has found.

There is a potential link between Alzheimer's disease and the herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), which is a common cause for ...

Researchers challenge everything we know about Alzheimer's disease with shocking new findings about amyloid beta protein's ...

A study published in 2022 revealed a tenuous but plausible link between picking your nose and increasing the risk of ...

Dec. 23, 2024 — A new gene editing tool that helps cellular machinery skip parts of genes responsible for diseases has been applied to reduce the formation of amyloid-beta plaque precursors in a ...

Many of these treatments aim to modify the disease process itself. One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease is protein plaques that form between brain cells, made of beta-amyloid fragments. These ...

Phase 1 INTERCEPT-AD data published in Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer’s Disease supports continued development of sabirnetug (ACU193) for treatment of early Alzheimer’s disease (AD) ...
