Cause of Alzheimer’s Progression in the Brain Identified

New findings contradict the existing thought that Alzheimer's starts from a single point in the brain and causes a chain reaction that leads to cell death. Instead, a new study reports, Alzheimer's disease reaches different brain regions early on. The speed by which the disease kills brain cells in these regions directly impacts the progression of Alzheimer's.

New Brain Model Provides Patient-Specific Alzheimer’s Insights and Predictions of Cognitive Decline

A newly developed brain model from cultivated stem cells allowed researchers to analyze molecular pathways of neurons in a dish. Researchers identified specific forms of amyloid beta and tau associated with cognitive decline and Alzheimer's. They also uncovered signaling pathways that influence the production of the toxic proteins.

Eyes Provide Peek at Alzheimer’s Disease Risk

The presence of amyloid-beta deposits in the retina correlated with cerebral amyloid levels in those with Alzheimer's disease. The findings may lead to methods for the earlier detection of Alzheimer's.

Does Alzheimer’s Disease Start Inside Nerve Cells?

Amyloid-beta accumulates in nerve cells and spreads, from cell to cell, via nerve fibers. This process occurs prior to the formation of amyloid plaques in the brain.
