A new study shows that people with higher levels of the protein albumin in their urine are at increased risk of developing dementia. The study, led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet, is published in the […]
Researchers at Zhengzhou University report evidence that physical frailty is associated with dementia and that genetic background, brain structure, and immunometabolic function may mediate this link.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
The approval of new antibody medications for Alzheimer’s disease—lecanemab and donanemab—and diagnostic tests in the blood mark the beginning of a new era in Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis and treatment. However, without rapid reform in health […]

Thousands of people with dementia are prescribed powerful medications for longer and at higher doses than recommended, raising concerns about safety and quality of care, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.This article was […]
A multidisciplinary team has used advanced imaging and computational modeling to analyze the “crosstalk” between neurons and their supporting glial cells in the human brain. This approach highlights the brain’s interconnected cellular network.This article was […]
Researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine, Eskenazi Health, Regenstrief Institute and other partners have demonstrated the feasibility of conducting dementia prevention trials among older adults with limited formal education, a group at heightened […]
