The kinetics of amyloid beta turnover within human brain is still poorly understood. We previously found a dramatic decline in the turnover of Aβ peptides in normal aging. It was not known if brain ...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, which is characterized by amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. Age is one of the strongest risk factors for ...

A multitude of genes have been linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease. Specifically how those genes might influence the progression of neurodegeneration remains something of a black box ...

Fighting Alzheimer’s disease is a race against time. By the time most patients are diagnosed and treated, their cognitive symptoms have already advanced significantly. New research, though, pinpoints ...

Scientists at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a non-invasive method to boost the brain's natural waste drainage system—a discovery that could open new avenues for tackling ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a technique to noninvasively visualize the brain's waste-removal ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cognito Therapeutics, a neurotechnology company advancing disease-modifying therapies to treat CNS diseases, today announced the publication of a study in ...

Research headed by teams at the University of Rochester Center for Translational Medicine and the University of Copenhagen describes for the first time how a spreading wave of disruption and the flow ...

Whole-exome sequencing revealed variants in a gene that compromise connective tissue integrity and may increase a person’s ...

A study linked spontaneous spinal CSF leaks to genetic variants that weaken connective tissue around the spinal cord, ...

Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University and Johns Hopkins University have identified genetic mutations that may explain why some people develop a spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) ...
