Targeting the Brain’s Immune Cells May Help Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease

A drug currently being tested in cancer clinical trials appears to prevent dysfunction in an immune cell signaling pathway associated with Alzheimer's disease. Blocking the pathway could prevent Alzheimer's from developing and slow the progression of symptoms for those who already have the disease.

New Framework for Analyzing Alzheimer’s Disease Identifies Not One Form, but Three

A new framework reveals Alzheimer's disease is far more complex than previously believed. Rather than being a disease where the same causes produce the same outcomes, researchers found three different models for the disease, each with its own characterizations and dynamics.
