The origins of Alzheimer's remain contentious, but a new study suggests the disease may emerge as two key proteins compete ...

Understanding how proteins interact with their own mirror images enabled a Kobe University research team to design a small ...

In Alzheimer’s disease, brain damage is often linked to a mix of problems, including beta-amyloid buildup, tau pathology, ...

Researchers reveal that amyloid beta displaces tau, causing the transport system inside nerve cells to start breaking down.

Can mirror proteins cure Alzheimer's? Scientists used "right-handed" amino acids to trap amyloid-beta proteins. This breakthrough in molecular recognition offers a new way to target "undruggable" ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive memory loss and a significant decline in mental functions. Past studies have shown that people with AD exhibit a buildup ...

Research from UC Santa Cruz indicates that the P3 peptide—an alternative cleavage product of the amyloid precursor protein—may play a role in Alzheimer’s disease.

Scientists think there's a tenuous but plausible hypothetical link between picking your nose and an increased risk of ...

Amyloid beta is a peptide that plays a central role in the neurodegenerative pathology of Alzheimer’s disease by aggregating into plaques in the brain. U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved ...

A new study links higher vitamin D levels in middle age to reduced accumulation of tau, a brain protein tied to dementia.

The findings suggest that the use of cadaveric dura mater patches in cardiac surgery seeded amyloid pathology, leading to ...

While you’re ideally getting enough vitamins and minerals from the whole foods you eat, there aren’t many foods that are ...
