New research shows that Alzheimer's may not be a disease but rather an infection. Recent studies found that there is a strong ...

Previous research has implicated fungi in chronic neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, but there is limited understanding of how these common microbes could be involved in the ...

The medication restored normal NAD+ levels and fully reversed cognitive function in advanced Alzheimer's models.

A research team at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has identified a previously unknown enzyme, SIRT2, that plays a key role in memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The study, ...

A new study published in the journal Psychophysiology provides evidence that the specific way a person breathes during ...

The results of preclinical studies headed by investigators at the UK Dementia Research Institute at University College London, and colleagues, suggest that non-neuronal brain cells called ...

Alzheimer’s disease is likely caused by stalled protein processing in the brain, according to a new study. The research, published today as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, is described by editors as a ...

A new peer-reviewed study by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin (UT at Austin) shows how artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning can help guide and improve enzyme design for the ...

Neurogenesis is the process through which new neurons are formed from neural stem cells. Previous research has demonstrated that neurogenesis is reduced in both Alzheimer's disease patients and ...

The APOE4 variant causes cholesterol buildup in the cells that make protective fatty sheaths for neurons, possibly helping explain its role in neurodegeneration. Using transcriptomic profiling, the ...
