Alzheimer’s Disease & Dementia

People with lower incomes and people from racial and ethnic historically underrepresented groups in clinical studies are more likely to have modifiable risk factors for dementia, factors that could be changed to lower their risk, […]

Researchers from DANDRITE have played a central role in developing a new oral treatment that, for the first time ever, has shown promising results in a clinical trial involving patients—a breakthrough that appears capable of […]

A team of researchers at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC) in Brazil has developed a new chemical compound with the potential to treat Alzheimer’s disease. The research involved computer simulations (in silico), cell culture […]

A group from Osaka Metropolitan University in Japan, led by graduate student Tatsushi Oura and Dr. Hiroyuki Tatekawa, found that treatment using the drug lecanemab to remove amyloid plaques in the brain does not change […]

While the exact causes of neurodegenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia are still largely unknown, researchers have been able to identify a key characteristic in affected brains: reduced blood flow. Building upon this foundational […]

A simple blood test for platelet activity at middle age could one day help identify people at risk for Alzheimer’s disease decades ahead of time, allowing for possible preventive therapy.This article was originally published on […]

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, affects nearly 40 million individuals globally, resulting in a gradual loss of memory and independence. Despite extensive research over the past decades, no treatments have been found […]

Few primary care practices are designed for the timely detection of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The limited time that primary care clinicians are able to spend with patients, the need to focus on the […]

Researchers from the Indiana University School of Medicine have developed a highly sensitive diagnostic that predicts a person’s stage of dementia based on neurovascular and metabolic changes. They recently published their findings in Alzheimer’s & […]
