Researchers at UCLA Health and UC San Francisco have identified a specific molecular mechanism that explains why certain ...
In Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, a protein called tau can pile up inside brain cells and form toxic clumps. Those clumps help drive memory loss and other symptoms.
Researchers have identified a specific protein complex inside neurons that tags toxic tau fragments for destruction, offering the clearest explanation yet for why certain brain cells survive while ...
A major international study shows that increasing a naturally occurring molecule can help restore memory in animal models of Alzheimer’s disease.
An unusual partnership between a vacuum maker, a race car legend, and the University of Edinburgh is leading to advances in understanding dementia. Their new study using living tissue has revealed the ...
Such brain organoids, lab-grown clusters of human brain cells, are used to study conditions such as autism, schizophrenia, ...
Scientists found microplastics in all examined human brains in a recent study, with highest levels discovered in dementia ...
AI-powered gene maps reveal the hidden control centers driving Alzheimer’s disease — and point to new hope for treatment.
4/14/25 (LAPost.com) — Microplastics have always been debated, but scientists have now found them in the human brain, according to new studies. They also found potential links between microplastics ...
Some forms of dementia may not be confined to the central nervous system; they may not even begin in the brain.
