Irvine, Calif., Oct. 23, 2025 — Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have uncovered an unexpected molecular partnership that reshapes scientists’ understanding of how brain ...

Previous research has implicated fungi in chronic neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, but there is limited understanding of how these common microbes could be involved in the ...

In a recent study published in the journal PLOS Biology, researchers used mouse models to demonstrate that neurons were not the only source of abnormal amyloid β proteins contributing to the pathology ...

Leqembi and Kisunla don’t just reduce amyloid plaques that are implicated in Alzheimer’s disease. According to new research, the drugs boost levels of a healthy form of amyloid beta (Aβ42) protein in ...

A protein from Helicobacter pylori inhibits amyloid formation in both microbes and humans, offering new leads for antimicrobial and neurodegenerative disease therapies. To understand the mechanism of ...

Another piece of the dementia puzzle may finally have been found. In A Nutshell Scientists discovered ultrathin tubes (hundreds of nanometers wide) connecting brain cells that transport proteins and ...

Scientists know that a build-up of specific proteins in the brain is associated with Alzheimer’s disease. However, by the time these proteins have become visible in brain scans, disease progression is ...
