Rather than looking for amyloid-beta plaques like many other Alzheimer's tests, this one hunts for tiny clumps of tau protein, which are more often associated with cognitive decline. The ...

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 ...

Now, several publications and presentations at the recent Alzheimer’s Association International Conference have demonstrated that blood tests measuring amyloid and tau proteins have become much more ...

In diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, specific proteins misfold and clump together, forming toxic aggregates that ...

The root causes of most forms of Alzheimer's disease largely remain a mystery. Now, researchers have revealed a new piece of the puzzle.

Low-level light therapy, also called photobiomodulation (PBM), has emerged as a promising approach to Alzheimer's treatment, ...
