Glycated amyloid-β sneaks into mitochondria, forces mtDNA leakage through VDAC1, and ignites cGAS-STING inflammation — a new molecular explanation for why diabetes accelerates Alzheimer’s
A landmark PNAS paper (16 Nov 2025) finally explains why diabetes doubles Alzheimer’s risk: sugar-damaged (“glycated”) amyloid-β sneaks into neuronal mitochondria, forces the pore …
In the race to solve Alzheimer's disease, scientists find more needles in the haystack
The International Genomics of Alzheimer's Project (IGAP) analyzed millions of genetic variants to come up with the latest listing of 75 variations associated with …
Unexpected protein could play role in common brain disorder
Scientists report that amyloid fibrils found in people with frontotemporal degeneration contain the little-known protein TMEM106B.
Cross-racial study of 1.87m vets shows wide disparities in dementia
In what is believed to be the largest study to date on race and dementia, researchers tracked health and demographic data from close to …
Psychiatric symptoms in Alzheimer´s disease
In addition to memory problems and other cognitive symptoms, most people with Alzheimer's disease also suffer from mental health issues. It has long been …
Key signaling pathway in immune cells could be new Alzheimer’s target
Inhibiting an important signaling pathway in brain-resident immune cells may calm brain inflammation and thereby slow the disease process in Alzheimer's and some other …
Brainstem atrophy is linked to extrapyramidal symptoms in frontotemporal dementia
Frontotemporal dementia patients with extrapyramidal symptoms have brainstem atrophy and reduced metabolism in certain areas of the brain significantly more often than patients without …
Alzheimer‘s: Amyloid and tau are a perilous couple
In the course of Alzheimer's disease, two proteins called 'amyloid' and 'tau' accumulate in the brain. A new study with more than 200 participants …
Promising Alzheimer's drug may also improve memory in Down syndrome and normal aging
New research is breaking ground in repurposing an FDA-approved drug as a potential treatment in Down syndrome and normal aging. The results suggest that …
New information about amyloid filaments in neurodegenerative diseases
Researchers have helped identify that a common protein found in neurodegenerative diseases forms amyloid filaments in an age-dependent manner without a connection to disease.
Researchers discover intake of FDA-approved drug modulates disease progression in Alzheimer’s disease model
Researchers found that niacin limits Alzheimer's disease progression when used in models in the lab, a discovery that could potentially pave the way toward …
Neuroscientists identify mechanism for long term memory storage
While studying how memories are formed and stored in the brain, a team identified a novel protein folding mechanism that is essential for long …
