People produce different antibodies to different antigens, and those with Alzheimer's disease (AD) are no exception...
Though it remains a prime pathological hallmark of Alzheimer disease, Aβ amyloid has yet to convincingly prove itself as the major toxic species driving AD...
A new study strengthens the connection between amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau, the two proteins most studied in Alzheimer’s disease (AD)...
Indications are that amyloid-β destroys memory by disrupting synaptic plasticity...
Could the field be one step closer to a new potential therapy for AD? Possibly, if the target is striatal-enriched tyrosine phosphatase (STEP)...
Scientists in Ireland have produced what could be the best evidence to date that cellular prion protein (PrPc) mediates Aβ’s dirty work in neurons...
Testing a widely used cerebrospinal fluid Aβ42 immunoassay, scientists proposed modifications that they believe improve its precision and accuracy...
The neuronal peptide α-synuclein is an important constituent of the Lewy bodies, pathological hallmarks of the Lewy body variant of Alzheimer's disease, as well as of Parkinson's and several other neurodegenerative diseases...
In some ways, Alzheimer disease research is about a decade ahead of research on Parkinson’s...
The most promising target for an Alzheimer's therapy in the short term may be the enzyme β-secretase, suggest two papers in the March issue of Nature Neuroscience. Two separate groups have found that mice lacking the BACE1...
Two new human studies implicate loss of oxygen in the brain as a possible culprit that touches off early AD pathology...
Much as tau appears loath to give up its secrets, two recent papers reveal new...
Identifying injuries that might lead to chronic traumatic encephalopathy or other neurodegenerative pathologies, and then treating those injuries, are two major challenges...
Some studies have shown that athletes who suffer repeated concussions develop a form of brain degeneration, different from AD, known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy...
