The world, in perspective.

Lange befasst sich die Alzheimer-Forschung nur mit Ablagerungen im Gehirn. Heute wissen Forscher um die wichtige Rolle der hirneigenen Immunzellen, der Mikroglia. Sogar eine Impfung gegen Alzheimer könnte dank ihnen möglich werden.

Le titre inédit a été dévoilé le 30 octobre, cosigné par le chanteur et par l'un de ses auteurs, Pierre-Dominique Burgaud. Chacun d'entre eux a perdu sa mère des suites de cette maladie.

Giftige Proteinklumpen galten als Auslöser der Demenz. Doch die Theorie geriet ins Wanken, als man Senioren mit einem Hirn voller Klumpen, aber ohne Demenzsymptome entdeckte. Jetzt heisst es: Eine bisher unterschätzte Hirnzelle namens Mikroglia startet die Demenz.

Early diagnosis of dementia and Alzheimer's is a key factor as two new therapies that could soon be available to the Canadian public.

Lying on a vibrating mattress for 40 minutes, combined with taking two pills that release nitric oxide into the body, enhanced the clearance of an Alzheimer's-related protein via the brain's waste-disposal system

Scientists have discovered that a drug originally developed for spinal cord injuries can tackle several key features of Alzheimer’s disease, including DNA damage and inflammation. Already tested for initial safety in humans, the experimental treatment could offer a faster path toward therapies that target the disease at its roots.

A surprising discovery suggests that rejuvenating the liver could help protect against Alzheimer’s disease and heart disease. USC researchers found that an experimental drug restored aging liver cells in rats, cutting levels of an Alzheimer’s-linked protein in half and bringing bad cholesterol down to youthful levels. The treatment also revived a previously

A major international study found that a simple blood test could help predict Alzheimer’s-related cognitive decline years before symptoms appear, with the highest-risk individuals facing a 38% chance of impairment within five years and an estimated 78% chance within 10 years. Scientists believe the discovery could pave the way for earlier intervention and fu

Nowych leków przybywa. Pacjentów też. Ale szpitale czekają na miliony złotych za wykonane świadczenia, a chorzy jeżdżą po kraju w poszukiwaniu leczenia. Pierwszy kompleksowy raport o programach lekowych w neurologii pokazuje, gdzie system nie nadąża. Co trzeba zmienić?

I verdens hittil største genetiske studie av Alzheimers sykdom er det gjort nye funn som kan føre til bedre behandling av sykdommen.

My lovely father died of Alzheimer's last year, and since then, I've been digging into the disease to try to understand what happened to him. I was astonished to discover that scientists think it may start in the nose, says New Scientist's new columnist, Professor Hannah Fry

Why do some people stay mentally sharp even when their brains show signs of Alzheimer’s disease? Scientists in the Netherlands may have uncovered an important clue hidden in a rare group of immature brain cells. Researchers discovered that these cells remain present even in people over 80, but their behavior differs dramatically between those who develop dem

W Słupsku przeprowadzono pierwszą w Polsce i Europie eksperymentalną operację mającą wspomagać leczenie choroby Alzheimera. Zabieg trwał niemal pięć godzin, a 58-letni pacjent dwa dni później opuszcza szpital. Co udało się osiągnąć chirurgom i kiedy będzie można ocenić efekty? O szczegółach mówi w rozmowie z tvn24.pl główny operator, neurochirurg dr Daniel M

A consultant neurologist has called on the HSE to allow for access to a drug that can help slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease in patients.

The MPA gave “Wildwood” a PG-13 for “strong fantasy violence/bloody images, thematic material, suicide-related material, brief partial nudity and language,” which is a mouthful for any movie and an especially wild one for a stop-motion picture about a girl hunting for her kidnapped baby brother. It’s the first PG-13 in Laika’s 17 years as a […]

Drugs will be tested simultaneously, which it's hoped will speed up the process of finding new treatments for this common type of dementia.

The glymphatic system flushes toxins out of the brain, but this seems to be disrupted in Alzheimer's disease, and cholesterol may be involved

Familiares procuram por idosa com Alzheimer que desapareceu após sair de agência bancária Uma idosa de 67 anos diagnosticada com Alzheimer está desaparecida em Poços de Caldas (MG). Ana Maria de Freitas Henriqueta é procurada pela família e pelas polícias Civil e Militar desde a manhã de segunda-feira (19), quando desapareceu nas imediações de uma agência do

After landing at Independent Film Company (formerly branded IFC) and Sapan Studio, the animated feature film “Tangles” has released a new trailer. Adapted by Leah Nelson, Trev Renney and Sarah Leavitt from Leavitt’s acclaimed graphic memoir “Tangles: A Story About Alzheimer’s, My Mother and Me,” the film tells its story through expressive, predominantly blac

People with the APOE4 gene variant have more to lose from unhealthy habits — and potentially more to gain from healthy ones.

Scientists have found a promising way to protect the brain from Alzheimer’s-related damage by blocking immune cells that contribute to the destruction of neurons. In mice, the treatment preserved roughly 40% more tissue in memory centers and improved memory, even without removing harmful tau protein buildup.

Scientists have discovered why some people with a high genetic risk of Alzheimer’s remain mentally sharp into their 80s, uncovering a rare mutation that protects the brain from harmful protein buildup. The findings reveal a potential new way to prevent early brain damage and could pave the way for treatments that mimic this natural defense.

Walking just 3,000 steps a day could help slow Alzheimer’s-related brain changes, according to new research. Scientists discovered that physical activity was linked to less buildup of harmful tau proteins and nearly half the cognitive and functional decline, even in people already showing early signs of the disease. The strongest benefits appeared at 5,000 t

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected culprit behind sleep loss in Alzheimer’s disease: overactive immune cells in the brain. By temporarily removing these cells, researchers restored more than two hours of sleep per day in mice, revealing a promising new target for treatment.
