Viruses like Covid and HSV-1 may trigger neurodegenerative diseases by causing protein accumulation in the brain, leading to ...

Alzheimer’s disease may cause degeneration of neurons in the brain through amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, inflammation, and brain atrophy. The condition may affect different parts of ...

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

PROFOUND EFFECTS' An abnormal buildup of amyloid-beta proteins is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s, as these proteins clump together to form plaques that interfere with neurons in the brain.

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 ...

Amyloid-beta molecules need to reach a certain threshold concentration in the brain before plaque deposition occurs. This is an often-overlooked concept in Alzheimer’s disease.” ...

Microglia have been revealed to first help spread Alzheimer’s disease pathology across the brain and then activate to limit ...
