Scientists have developed a promising new approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease by turning ordinary brain cells into powerful plaque-clearing machines. Instead of requiring frequent antibody ...

Japanese researchers found that lecanemab, an amyloid-clearing drug for Alzheimer’s, does not improve the brain’s waste clearance system in the short term. This implies that nerve damage and impaired ...

For years, sleep has been framed as a basic pillar of good health. New research suggests it could be something even more powerful: a potential shield against Alzheimer’s disease. A study published ...

Abnormal clumps of proteins like α-synuclein, amyloid beta and tau are associated with neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, but a waste removal mechanism called the ...

The new generation of Alzheimer's disease drugs—the first proven to change the course of the disease—typically extend independent living for patients by 10 months. Called monoclonal antibodies, they ...

Researchers found that a good night’s sleep may help the brain clear proteins tied to Alzheimer’s. For years, sleep has been framed as a basic pillar of good health. New research suggests it could be ...
