Researchers have found a new way to boost the body’s defense against neurodegenerative diseases by preventing the degradation of Nrf2, potentially slowing the progression of…
Kauwe, Pareja-Navarro et al. identify a KIBRA-dependent mechanism to repair the plasticity at synapses that is dysregulated in neurons underlying the loss of memory in…
A study reveals that Entresto, a heart failure drug, may interfere with Alzheimer’s disease diagnostic tests by significantly altering the plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio, potentially leading…
Recent research from McGill University suggests a link between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease in people aged 50…
Researchers established the world’s largest gene bank of ancient human DNA, analyzing remains from up to 34,000 years ago to trace the spread of genes…
New research indicates that statins may slow cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s patients. This observational study, which doesn’t confirm a causal relationship, suggests that statins could…
Dutch researchers have discovered five distinct biological variants of Alzheimer’s disease, necessitating personalized treatment approaches. Their research underscores the importance of developing variant-specific drugs to…
