Researchers challenge everything we know about Alzheimer's disease with shocking new findings about amyloid beta protein's role in brain health.

They focused on a protein called BACE1 ... To quantify the amount of amyloid plaque, the researchers used a combination of molecular imaging techniques and biochemical assays.

The active genes in the body have to be copied, or transcribed into RNA molecules, which are then processed in a variety of ...

A study by the team of Prof. Kristel Sleegers (VIB-UAntwerp), published in Acta Neuropathologica, has offered new insights into the genetic factors that drive Alzheimer's disease. Using samples ...

There's still so much we don't know about Alzheimer's disease, but the link between poor sleep and worsening disease is one ...

While there's no cure yet for Alzheimer's, researchers are finally making more progress in better understanding the disease ...

A new gene editing tool that helps cellular machinery skip parts of genes responsible for diseases has been applied to reduce the formation of amyloid-beta plaque precursors in a mouse model of ...

Combining these commonly found ingredients into a drink could protect against arthritis and strengthen the immune system ...

Immune cells in the brain called microglia can partially break down large amyloid plaques characteristic of Alzheimer's disease by latching on to them, forming a sort of external stomach and ...
