Research from UC Santa Cruz indicates that the P3 peptide—an alternative cleavage product of the amyloid precursor protein—may play a role in Alzheimer’s disease.

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 ...

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 ...

By watching Alzheimer’s-related protein clumping unfold second by second, researchers have uncovered new clues about the role of metal ions.

A major new study finds people with type 1 diabetes face nearly three times the dementia risk. But lifestyle changes and new treatments offer real hope.

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder and the leading cause of dementia worldwide. Despite extensive research, the pathophysiology of AD remains incompletely understood, ...

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 ...

Oral semaglutide (a GLP-1 pill) is not effective at slowing progression in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease, finds the ...

Scientists have found a direct link between air pollution and Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease, the most common cause of dementia, is associated with the accumulation of two key proteins in ...

People with greater exposure to air pollution could face a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study by Emory University in Atlanta. Air pollution has previously been ...

A team from the University of Barcelona has designed and validated in animal models an innovative compound with a pioneering mechanism of action for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Individuals with type 2 diabetes — with or without retinopathy — had higher risks for incident Alzheimer’s disease and dementia than those without the blood sugar disorder. Among patients with ...
