Brain’s Shape Could Reveal the Earliest Signs of Alzheimer’s

A groundbreaking study reveals that aging alters not just the size but the shape of the human brain, reshaping regions in ways linked to memory and reasoning decline. Researchers found that as people age, the lower and front areas of the brain expand outward, while the upper and back regions compress inward.

From Cancer to Alzheimer’s: Decoding RNA-Protein Signals

Scientists have created a breakthrough technology that reveals the entire network of RNA-protein interactions in human cells, offering new insights into how diseases develop. The method freezes and tags RNAs and proteins as they touch, turning them into unique DNA barcodes that can be decoded with sequencing.

Alzheimer’s Study Finds Blood-Brain Barrier Largely Intact

A new study suggests that the blood-brain barrier (BBB) remains intact in a widely used mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. Using a tracer molecule and advanced analysis, scientists found no significant leakage across brain regions, even near amyloid plaques.

Unlocking Brain Cell Crosstalk Reveals New Path in Alzheimer’s

A new study reveals that Alzheimer’s disease involves more than just plaques and tangles; it also stems from disrupted communication between brain cells. Using advanced imaging and computational modeling, scientists mapped how neurons and glial cells interact at the molecular level.

This shows a brain, immune cells, and a scale.

Alzheimer’s Research Shifts Toward Immune System Balance

Alzheimer’s disease affects over 55 million people worldwide and has long been linked to toxic protein buildup and chronic inflammation in the brain. A new review shows that adaptive immune cells—T and B cells—also play a crucial role, sometimes worsening brain damage, sometimes offering protection.

This shows older people walking in a park and a brain.

Lifestyle Changes Show Power to Prevent Alzheimer’s

A growing body of research underscores that Alzheimer’s and cognitive decline are not inevitable parts of aging. Lifestyle interventions targeting exercise, diet, social engagement, and cognitive stimulation have been shown in large clinical trials to improve brain function and slow decline.

Defective Exosome Production Linked to Alzheimer’s Gene Mutation

New research reveals that a gene mutation tied to Alzheimer’s disease disrupts the production of exosomes, tiny cellular particles essential for communication between brain cells. Cells with a defective SORLA protein produced about 30% fewer exosomes, and those exosomes were up to 50% less effective at supporting cell growth.

Cooler Nights and Brighter Days Boost Sleep in Dementia Patients

A large-scale study shows that indoor environmental changes—such as cooler bedroom temperatures at night and brighter indoor light during the day—can significantly improve sleep in people living with dementia. Researchers analyzed over 26,000 days of data using contactless sensors placed in participants’ homes.

3-Minute Brainwave Test Detects Alzheimer’s Years Before Symptoms

A team of researchers has developed a simple three-minute brainwave test called Fastball EEG that can detect early signs of memory impairment linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Unlike traditional memory tests, it is passive and requires no active participation, making it more objective and accessible.

Alzheimer’s Linked to Epigenomic Breakdown, Not Just Plaques

A new large-scale study shows that Alzheimer’s disease is marked by the erosion of epigenomic control, where brain cells lose the ability to maintain stable gene expression. Using a multi-region atlas of 3.5 million cells, researchers found that vulnerable cells in key memory regions such as the hippocampus suffer breakdowns in nuclear compartmentalization and lose their “epigenomic information.”

Gut Immune Cells Found Migrating to Alzheimer’s Brain

Researchers have uncovered a surprising link between gut immune cells and the brain in Alzheimer’s disease. In mice, antibody-producing B cells that normally reside in the gut were found migrating into brain border regions, influenced by chemokine signals from inflammatory brain cells.
