Researchers show amyloid beta and tau compete for microtubule binding, disrupting cellular transport. This interference may ...

For over thirty years, researchers have primarily studied the accumulation of amyloid beta proteins in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. They also focus on how that component negatively impacts ...

Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by certain key changes in the brain. Among them are the development of two kinds of protein deposits: clumps made up of amyloid beta and tangles of tau. These ...

Achieve peak productivity by manipulating brain wave states. Instead of constantly operating in beta, shift to alpha for creativity, theta for deep insight, and gamma for breakthrough. Find "flow ...

The new generation of Alzheimer's disease drugs—the first proven to change the course of the disease—typically extend ...

Neuroscientists at King's College London have pinpointed a mechanism behind the increased neural connectivity observed in the very early stages of Alzheimer's disease. Published in Translational ...

Scientists have developed a promising new approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease by turning ordinary brain cells into powerful plaque-clearing machines. Instead of requiring frequent antibody ...

Overview of peripheral and central insulin actions (black arrows). The vast majority of insulin hormones are synthesized by the pancreas. Insulin crosses the blood‒brain barrier (BBB) to act within ...
