A new study reports even low levels of APOE4 can increase beta-amyloid plaques in the brain and neuronal damage in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. However, introducing APOE2 can reduce amyloid deposits and other associated damage.
A new study provides insight into the link between ApoE4 and SirT1, an anti-aging protein found is resveratrol.
Researchers find brain regions associated with memory shrink as adults age. This decrease in size is more pronounced in those who later develop neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's.
Researchers have identified key molecular pathways which lead to late-onset Alzheimer's disease. The study presents a new approach to Alzheimer's research and highlights several potential drug targets.
A protein associated with neuron damage in Alzheimer's patients provides a superior scaffold for growing central nervous system cells in the lab.
A gene variant responsible for vascular damage to the brain is a promising new target for drug therapy to fight...
