Amyloid beta and tau proteins compete for the same binding sites on microtubules in neurons, suggesting that displacement of tau by amyloid beta, rather than aggregation of either protein, may be the ...

New UC Riverside-led research suggests Alzheimer’s arises not simply from plaques forming in the brain, as is widely believed, but from one protein interfering with the normal job of another ...

In an unprecedented large-scale study, researchers have mapped out the first molecular events that cause harmful protein buildups in the brain of people with Alzheimer's disease. "By measuring the ...

Researchers have identified two brain receptors that help the brain clear away amyloid beta, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. By stimulating these receptors in mice, scientists increased levels of a ...

Alzheimer’s may destroy memory by flipping a single molecular switch that tells neurons to prune their own connections. Researchers found that both amyloid beta and inflammation converge on the same ...

Brain cells “clogged” with fat could be hidden drivers of Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new study that shifts focus away from protein plaques and tangles thought to be the main contributors ...

Researchers at the UConn Center on Aging have uncovered causal links between depression and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia (ADRD), sparking hope for potential interventions to prevent the ...

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, a progressive brain disorder that slowly erodes memory, thinking skills, and the ability to carry out everyday tasks. It affects not only ...
