The apolipoprotein E ε3 Christchurch variant provides remarkable resilience against AD which extends to the periphery where ‘lipid-loaded’ extracellular vesicles stabilize the blood–brain barrier.

The apolipoprotein E ε3 Christchurch variant provides remarkable resilience against Alzheimer disease by limiting tau propagation and suppressing neuroinflammation. New research reveals that this protection extends to the periphery, where ‘lipid-loaded’ extracellular vesicles stabilize the bloo...

Researchers have engineered a new cellular immunotherapy that requires just a single injection to prevent amyloid plaques from developing when given before plaques start to form in mice.

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis engineered a new cellular immunotherapy that turns brain cells called astrocytes into super cleaners, efficiently removing amyloid beta plaques from the brains of mice.

Researchers find alarming Alzheimer’s pattern in rural America

A new analysis of more than 422,000 patients reveals a stark Alzheimer’s care gap between Maryland’s urban and rural communities. Rural regions often lack hospitals and dementia specialists, forcing older patients to travel farther for diagnosis and treatment. Researchers found areas with high A...
