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 ...

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

Scientists studying Alzheimer’s in African Americans have uncovered a striking genetic clue that may cut across racial lines.

New genome study uncovers 133 previously unknown dementia-linked variants and shows how genetic risks vary across global populations, reshaping the path to personalized Alzheimer’s care. Study: ...

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 ...

Researchers are slowly tossing much of what we've been told for many years about Alzheimer's disease out the window — and replacing what has been a very dreary tale with new findings.

Scientists discovered a rare case of an Alzheimer’s gene carrier who remained symptom-free for 18 years beyond the expected onset, revealing potential genetic, environmental, and proteomic resilience ...

Neurogeneticists have discovered a novel genetic mutation and associated buildup of toxic proteins in the brain -- a type of buildup distinct from amyloid or tau, proteins that have long been the ...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes brain cell death. This progressive disease, which causes a distinct pattern of pathological changes in the brain, is most common ...

For over a century, Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been considered irreversible. Consequently, research has focused on disease ...

In 2022, neurologists at a memory clinic in China diagnosed a 19-year-old with what they believed to be Alzheimer's disease – ...
