In people destined to get Alzheimer's in their mid-40s, one protein can delay the onset of the disease by about 20 years.

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 ...

A protein best known for its role in Parkinson’s disease can accelerate Alzheimer’s-related brain changes by up to 20 times in patients who carry elevated levels of both pathologies, according to new ...

Researchers found a powerful protein that helps strengthen the messaging system of the brain. The discovery could lead to new ways of treating diseases that interfere with the way brain cells talk to ...

Scientists have created a blood test that can estimate when Alzheimer’s symptoms are likely to begin. By measuring a protein called p-tau217, the model predicts symptom onset within roughly three to ...

Scientists at the University of Kentucky have uncovered a new reason why people with Alzheimer’s disease often struggle with sleep, long before memory loss begins.

Scientists found that a blood protein called p tau217 may reveal dementia risk up to 25 years before symptoms appear.

A deficiency of the metal lithium in the body could be a key factor contributing to the development of dementia in Alzherimer’s patients, a groundbreaking new study reveals. The decade-long research, ...

Researchers have developed a diagnostic panel that identifies cognitive decline by analyzing how blood proteins fold. This ...

Inflammation in former football players was tied to limbic white matter damage and worse memory, revealing a potential pathway linking repetitive head impacts to later cognitive decline.

New research has found that the loss of social memory – recognizing friends and family – in Alzheimer's disease (AD) could come down to specific structures around brain cells. And targeting this ...

Adults lose 8% of muscle mass each decade after 30, but experts say current protein recommendations may be too low for ...
