New research suggests enhancing the brain’s own immune cells could help clear plaques associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

Scientists have long been racking their brains for ways to treat Alzheimer’s disease, the most common type of dementia.

A new study suggests a promising alternative to previous attempts to remove the sticky, toxic amyloid beta plaques from brains with Alzheimer's Disease: enhancing the brain's own immune cells to clear ...

Researchers at Northwestern University have made a breakthrough in identifying a way for Alzheimer's disease to be treated ...

Notably, microglia spatially associated with amyloid plaques exhibited increased expression of TREM2 and ApoE compared to such cells in non-immunized controls, regardless of whether the treatment was ...

The amyloid-β precursor protein (APP) helps to form links between the brain’s neurons. It has been highly studied because its ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder marked by amyloid plaque buildup and cognitive decline, remains a challenging condition to understand at the molecular level.

For more than three decades, scientists have been racing to stop Alzheimer's disease by removing amyloid beta plaques—sticky clumps of toxic protein that accumulate in the brain. The findings ...
