Alzheimer’s Risk Gene Undermines Insulation of Brain’s ‘Wiring’

When people carry the Alzheimer's associated APOE4 gene, oligodendrocytes fail to transport fatty molecules to wrap neurons that make brain circuitry connections. This deficit of myelin may contribute to the pathology and symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

Blood Pressure Drug Could Be a Potential Treatment for Black Patients With Alzheimer’s

Black people are almost twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's disease later in life than white people. Researchers report Telmisartan, a drug used to treat high blood pressure by blocking angiotensin II, appears to be helpful in preventing or treating Alzheimer's disease in Black individuals. The drug did not show the same potential in white people.
