There is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, a type of dementia that an estimated 7.2 million Americans age 65 and ...

Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

It’s heartbreaking to watch a parent with Alzheimer’s, a type of dementia, lose their memory, speech, and ability to take care of themselves. The degenerative brain disease has no cure, and it’s only ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...

Scientists reversed advanced Alzheimer's in mice using a compound that restores cellular energy. The breakthrough challenges ...

Scientists have been trying to identify the exact causes of Alzheimer's disease for many years, and while we know that pathologies like tau tangles and amyloid plaques are related to the ...

A new Harvard study shows how lithium, one of the simplest elements, may protect against and even reverse Alzheimer’s — and ...

A new study presents robust evidence on the role of lysophosphatidylcholines (LPCs) in the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

The brain is a special organ, and immune cells there called microglia work to repair damage and maintain the health of neural networks. About ten percent of brain cells are estimated to be microglia, ...

A Washington man appeared to be destined to develop Alzheimer’s disease — but against all genetic odds, he has eluded the common dementia for decades. Researchers at the Washington University School ...

Jan. 14, 2007 — -- The discovery of a new genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease may put researchers one step closer to understanding the degenerative condition. Research published in the ...
