Marek-Marsel Mesulam received the prestigious award for his research on primary progressive aphasia, a language disorder that can affect people with Alzheimer’s or frontotemporal dementia.
Baby Boomers, keep your blood pressure down. Research is beginning to explain how even mild hypertension, a mid-life risk factor for late-life dementia, might be damaging the neurovascular unit.
It’s Not All About You, Neurons. Glia, Blood, Arteries Shine at Symposium Fluid Markers and Imaging Back Idea of Breached Blood-Brain Barrier In Revival of Parabiosis, Young Blood Rejuvenates Aging Microglia, Cognition Glymphatic Flow, Sleep, microRNA Are
Do blood components really leak across an inflamed blood-brain barrier early on in the development of Alzheimer’s disease? Some GWAS hits and budding neuro-imaging and fluid markers are helping researchers find out.
By finding differences in gene expression between monocytes and T cells, scientists reveal that the innate immune system has strong ties to neurodegenerative disease.
A small longitudinal study suggests that atrophy begins in the frontoparietal cortex, not the hippocampus, in early Alzheimer's.
European and U.S. agencies approve a third amyloid PET tracer, florbetaben.
Researchers are increasingly branching out from their old focus on Aβ and tau to understand how these proteins intersect with physiological processes and new genetic regulatory mechanisms in the aging brain.
The overused adage of the fountain of youth rears its head again, as four new studies show how young blood rejuvenates old brain and muscle, pumping up the vasculature, stem cells, and restoring microglia’s appetite for waste products. Researcher are isolating the responsible factors, for example GDF11.
A gene already well known to counteract aging appears to improve cognition.
Known for helping form new memories, new neurons may be just as important for erasing old ones.
Resveratrol consumption failed to correlate with heart disease, inflammation, cancer, or even mortality in a community-based study. Are its benefits overstated?
New NIH policies will require researchers to study male and female biology.
Will an antibody signature make for a new Alzheimer’s diagnostic?
