Within our brain cells, there exists a highway system of tube-like structures called microtubules. They give the cell structure and help transport nutrients and other…
A large team of neuroscientists and neurodegenerative disease specialists affiliated with multiple entities across the Netherlands, working with colleagues from the U.S., Belgium, the U.K.…
Cedars-Sinai investigators are using electronic health records to identify hospitalized patients likely to have dementia. The method they developed, detailed in a study published in…
A research team has confirmed that brain amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition, a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease, is an essential predictor for post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) development…
A screening tool often used in primary care clinics to detect cognitive impairment has shortcomings when applied to ethnically and linguistically diverse older adults, according…
Mice reach the twilight of their lives at around age two, the rough equivalent of 80 in human years. And when researchers introduce specific mutations…
In a study published online in Cell Reports researchers create a zebrafish model for in vivo labeling of brain pericytes, and systematically explored the developmental…

Photostimulation of lymphatic clearance of β-amyloid: A new strategy for Alzheimer’s disease therapy
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder. β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition in the brain is a crucial contributor to the pathogenesis of AD, mitigating excessive…
Dutch scientists have discovered five biological variants of Alzheimer’s disease, which may require different treatments. As a result, previously tested drugs may incorrectly appear to…
